Prof.Ph.Tobias 1995: "physiologically, biochemically and histologically, we should be hopeless as savanna-dwellers. All of the former savanna supporters must swallow our earlier words."
IOW, traditional paleo-anthropology was 4x incredibly wrong:
our Plio-Pleistocene ancestors were no African savanna dwellers, but:
- Aquarboreal: Mio-Pliocene Hominoidea already waded+climbed bipedally is swamp forests, google "aquarboreal" (aqua=water, arbor=tree).
- Archaic Homo dived for shellfish, google "pachyosteosclerosis": Pleistocene H.erectus cs: DHA & brain size.
- Asian origin (afrocentric prejudice): Pliocene Homo followed Ind.Ocean coasts (e.g. Java H.erectus early-Pleistocene).
- Australopiths were bipedal fossil relatives of Gorilla (E.Africa) or Pan (initially S.Africa), not of Homo (retroviral evidence: Pliocene Homo was in S-Asia).
The savanna idea of human evolution (a fortiori running after antelopes!!) is an incredibly ridiculous fantasy, but when will PAs finally abandon all these just-so fantasies??
