    Please note the nostrils.

    YouTube bites the bag & keeps on chewing but it
    does establish that, yes, there are people who
    believe the nostril thing...

    :-) Thanks a lot, JTEM, the good Doctor is very frustrated that hominoid & human is rather well-know (esp. comparative anatomy), but that many outdated paleo-anthropologists are still so stupid to believe the idiotic fantasy that their ancestors ran
    after antelopes over African savannas, with big nose, flat feet & atrophied olfaction, sweating water+salt... :-DDD
    I'm suffering from a few geriatric diseases, and am afraid that I won't be able to see the general acceptance of the waterside theory: Max Westenhöfer, Alister Hardy, Elaine Morgan & many others already died without having seen their theory generally
    accepted...
    It's really not difficult, a child can understand: humans are furless & fat than apes & very large-brained, we can hold our breath, voluntarily for >1 minute, H.erectus used stone tools + fossilized amid barnacles & corals & edible shellfish etc.etc.
    The details (how, when, where exactly) are more difficult, but IMO we now know many more solutions than Elaine knew, e.g. google "human evolution verhaegen" & https://www.gondwanatalks.com/l/the-waterside-hypothesis-wading-led-to-upright-walking-in-early-
    humans/

    Ah, never write yourself off.

    My time was up 11 years ago, back in 2012. I was in the Intensive Care
    Unit at the hospital, doing something they call "The Death Rattle." They
    had me on morphine, of course..My entire hospital stay lasted six days,
    so I guess things turned around quickly enough.

    The Out of Africa purists are either incompetent or practicing politics. Eventually the intelligent ones are going to retire. They'll have no
    reason to cling to the party line. And they will start speaking the truth
    and pointing fingers.

    It's really not difficult, a child can understand:

    Yes. Now if only paleo anthropology was run by children...

    The world is going to remember the likes of you. Nobody is ever
    going to be celebrated for getting it so consistently wrong...

    "The Out of Africa purist was so dogmatic in his adherence to the
    status quo! Let's name university departments after him!"

    Nope. Not going to happen. If anything, the future will seek to
    erase knowledge of their mistakes, out of embarrassment.

    Yes, it's difficult to understand that in these modern times there are still so many idiots who accept without thinking a little bit that their ancestors ran over savannas hunting antelopes!!
    Luckily there ar still scientific PAs: prof.Tobias: "We were all profoundly and unutterably wrong!" (google "Tobias aquatic ape" or so): only incredible imbeciles still believe their ancestors ran after kudus... :-DDD
