Tail loss before fast brachiation, due to upright bipedalism on branches, slow brachiation & vertically oriented climbing combined with upright perching on horizontal branches (same as avian tail loss). Wading, swimming & diving played virtually no
part in tail loss, note many monkeys with long tails wade bipedally occasionally.
My little boy with the mermaid brain:
the only monkey with shortened tail = simakobu = mangrove-dwelling.
Monkeys with shortened tails:
Barbary macaque, pig-tailed macaque, Sulawesi macaque, etc.
Yes, my little mermaid, thanks: macaques are also coastal dwellers. QED. :-) Study a bit:
Atypical tooth wear found in fossil hominins also present in a Japanese macaque population
Ian Towle cs 2022
... Japanese macaques ...
Accidental ingestion of sand & oral processing of marine mollusks likely creates these atypical wear patterns.
Implications for similar wear that has been associated with tool-use in fossil hominin samples were discussed.
Do you understand "marine mollusks", my little mermaid?
How did you think erectus got its large brain??
By eating seaweeds??
Only incredible idiots still believe erectus ran after antelopes:
-large brain, POS, shell engravings, coastal plain etc.etc....
-google "Joordens Munro"
