Our little children believe they have found an agument against AAT. :-D
For a scientific discussion of AAT (pro & contra) see
http://allserv.rug.ac.be/~mvaneech/Symposium.html
At some time after the human/chimp split ~6-4 Ma, human ancestors were
seaside omnivores: collecting coconuts, shellfish, turtles & turtle eggs,
bird eggs, crabs, seaweeds etc. explains many human traits (absent in
chimps) much better than dry savanna scenarios do: brain enlargement (but
olfactory bulb reduction), improved breathing control & diving skills,
varied vocality, small mouth & reduction of masticatory musculature,
handiness & tool use, reduction of climbing, reduction of fur, more
subcutaneous fat, very long legs & straight body build, reduction of sense
of smell, late puberty, high needs of water, iodine, sodium &
poly-unsaturated fatty acids etc.
Probably this seaside episode happened late Plio- or early Pleistocene when
early Homo followed the Mediterranean & Indian Ocean coasts: Homo fossils or
tools ~1.8 Ma have "suddenly" been found in Israel, Algeria, Iran, Kenya,
Georgia, Java... In spite of sea level changes (Ice Ages), Homo (but not
australopith) remains have frequently been found amid shells, corals,
barnacles etc., throughout the Pleistocene, in coasts all over the Old World
(eg, Mojokerto, Terra Amata, Table Bay, Eritrea), even on islands that could
only be reached by sea (Flores 0.8 Ma
