Australopithecus robustus was more aquatic than Homo?

mean and range % cortical area in Homo femora:
Recent Homo sapiens 71.3 (range 47 - 88)
Early modern H. sapiens 78.4 (range 73 - 85)
Archaic H. sapiens 80.4 (range 73 - 90)
Homo erectus 83.7 (range 71 - 91)
Mean of H. erectus significantly different from recent H. sapiens, but
almost complete overlap of range. In other words, some recent H.
sapiens individuals just as robust as H. erectus, but not aquatic.
