    PA is delusional about linking bipedalism to locomotion. Bipedalism has to do with freeing the hands so that our earliest ancestors could participate in communal efforts to keep large herbivores out of their garden habitat, using sticks and stones, as a
    strategy to not run out of food during the deadly dry season. Early hominids were not nomadic. They were highly situated and highly territorialistic.

    Some people are delusional about not linking BPism to locomotion.
    Everybody, even Sir David Attenborough, knows why early Hominoidea became BP:

    Miocene "apes" differed from "monkeys":
    in being more upright (centrally-placed lumbar spine): hanging vertically from branches & wading upright,
    in having lost the tail (disadvantageous in shallow water),
    in having evolved a much wider sternum (Hominoidea=Latisternalia), thorax & pelvis, facilitating lateral movements of arms & legs,
    in being much larger (secondarily reduced in hylobtis, but still long gestations),
    in having rel.longer arms (branch-hanging) etc.
    Google e.g. "aquarboreal verhaegen"... :-)

    Very correct! :-)
    The facts:
    independent indications Indonesian H.erectus = shellfish-diving early-Pleist.: • Archaic Homo's atypical tooth-wear caused by "sand & oral processing of marine mollusks" Towle cs 2022 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ajpa.24500
    • H.erectus s.s. fossilised in coastal sediments: Mojokerto barnacles + corals, Trinil Pseudodon + Elongaria edible shellfish) etc.
    • Stephen Munro discovered sea-shell engravings made by H.erectus, Joordens cs 2015 Nature 518:228–231 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25470048/
    • Ear exostoses (H.erectus & H.neand.) develop after years of cold(er) water irrigation https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5696936/
    • Pachy-osteo-sclerosis = slow+shallow-diving tetrapods (de Buffrénil cs 2010 J.Mamm.Evol.17:101-120), e.g. erectus’ parietal bone is 2x as thick as in gorillas.
    • Brain size in erectus (2x apes/australopiths) is facilitated by aquatic foods, e.g. DHA docosahexaenoic acid in shellfish… cf. Odontocetes, Pinnipedia, Enhydra.
    • Platycephaly in erectus/neand.: long, flat, dorsally-shifted brain-skull = hydrodynamic streamline, google GondwanaTalks Verhaegen English
    • Pleist.descendants/relatives colonized islands far oversea, e.g. Flores, Luzon https://www.academia.edu/36193382/Coastal_Dispersal_of_Pleistocene_Homo_2018
    • Homo’s stone tool use & dexterity is typical for molluscivores, e.g. sea-otters, etc.etc.
    IOW, only incredible imbeciles still believe their ancestors ran (sweating water+salt, on flat feet, naked... :-D) after antelopes.
    Stupid stupid stupid imbeciles... :-DDD
