rabiate, antiAATer admits at the question "Any reason why littoral human
ancestors would not have dived for shells etc.??": "Not impossible."
(They usually use more words when insulting AATers...) They have nothing,
Algis, nothing at all. :-D

Ah? Omitting part of the evidence is not very scientific, Ricky. Forgetting
the comparative evidence perhaps?? I gave you tens of examples & you
miserably failed to tell us why they were wrong. Just one: how do you
believe they got at Mojokerto?
1) not along the coasts IYO? May I know why you think that?? how then?
through the savannas??
2) along the coasts? Then may I hear why you believe that did not eat shells
etc. there??

Ricky, Ricky...
