• Savanna vs Waterside

    From JTEM is so reasonable@21:1/5 to All on Wed Sep 14 14:26:51 2022
    SAVANNA:

    "They survived by endurance running which they couldn't do
    yet, not five seconds after falling out of a tree, so they all
    went extinct until finally endurance running evolved, then
    they all became zombies, got up from the ground and
    everything was cool."

    WATERSIDE:

    They picked up shellfish and ate them. When the shellfish
    were all gone, or too much work to bother with, they walked
    away to a clean stretch of beach and started all over again.

    That's it. That gets them all the brain-building Omega-3s they
    could ever need, and then some. That moved them across the
    continents. That allowed a higher population density -- the sea
    can support more mouths than inland hunter gathering -- whch
    in turn meant greater genetic diversity. That gets us the
    periodic movement of groups inland to escape conflicts, disease,
    natural disasters and even climate fluctuations. This meant
    that diverse groups arose as each of the inland populations
    adapted to their unique environments. This meant that the
    remain waterside population would link all these diverse groups,
    share each others DNA with them as they interbreed.

    There. Everything. All of it. Waterside, Punctuated Equilibrium,
    Multi Regionalism/Regional Continuity, Coastal Dispersal:

    IT'S ALL EXPLAINED!

    Aquatic Ape explains everything while savanna can't even
    explain savanna!

    I'm too humble to say I'm right but, goddamnit, I am right.
    Even if I won't say so.

    "A pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior)"

    Yep, narcissistic PD.

    "Fallacious Argument."

    Google it. In particular you need to study ad hominem.

    See, right here right now you're displaying a sense of superiority even
    as you avoid everything I've said. You're not attacking my position,
    you're attacking me. In my case, on the other hand, it is NOT ad hominem.
    My pointing out your enormous personal flaws, including your
    narcissism, is NOT "my argument." It's in response to you once again
    AVOIDING an argument that you can't control, distracting from that
    argument you can't control and instead lobbing personal attacks.

    Personal attacks as "Argument" = ad hominem

    An argument that INCLUDES but is not limited to personal attack = Nope

    Savanna idiocy is not even internally consistent, as I pointed out. They evolved the ability to survive on the savanna by surviving on the savanna. Endurance hunting caused them to evolve the means to endurance run!

    None of the contradictions exist for Aquatic Ape. All they had to do was
    pick up stuff & eat it. That's it. That all by itself provides them with a
    diet with all the protein they could ever need, and then some. That alone
    would grow their brains just as large as genetics would allow, and leave
    them poised to spring on any mutations that allowed for even larger
    brains. That alone gets them everywhere! It's the reason and the means
    for migrating across the globe: Following the coast, picking up stuff &
    eating it.

    The savanna idiocy can't even explain the savanna, while Aquatic Ape
    explains everything.

    Anyone who believes in savanna idiocy would have to be so stupid that
    they'd... I dunno... they'd have to be so stupid that they'd believe
    something like "Naledi buried their dead."

    Do you know anyone that stupid?
