Ah?
Afro+anthropocentric prejudices:
-- Austalopiths are no human ancestors (anthropocentric prejudice), but were fossil relatives of Pan or Gorilla.
So what? This is common knowledge.
-- Out-of-Africa is wrong (afrocentric prejudice): Pliocene Homo lived along southern Asian coasts.
So what? They also lives along inland lakes and rivers.
-- Miocene "apes" were no quadrupedal knuckle-walkers (anthropocentric prejudice),
So what?
but swamp-forest dwellers, already "bipedal" (aquarboreal).
Let's just say they lived near water. I think they would have avoided swamp habitat for many reasons, including disease.
-- Plio-Pleistocene human ancestors did not live in savannas, certainly not hunting (afro+anthropocentric fantasy), but have always been waterside.
Because of the deadly dry season in their monsoon climate habitat and because they could only go a couple of days before dying of thirst they did, as you suggest, reside near water. But it is equally delusional to suggest they spent much time swimming
or wading in swamp habitat.
It is wrong to assume hominids could or would attempt to survive in treeless savanna habitat.
IOW, paleo-anthropology before "coastal dispersal" (aquatic ape) is at least as wrong as geology was before "plate tectonics" (continental drift).
Aquatic ape theory is just as wrong as savanna ape theory.
