Re: Final Solution of the Aquatic Ocean

Spiznet,
I'm talking about ancestors.
Last Common Ancestors of chimps & humans = Homo-Pan LCA.
H & P split ~5 Ma or so. After H & P split, we have Homo OT1H, & Pan OTOH.
Fossils have nothing to do with this. Only living animals (incl.their DNA).
Still following?
:-)
Now, I'm interested in why humans & chimps differ. What made them & us
different? IOW, what happened after the H/P split in the H branch & what in
the P branch, eg, why do humans have such a poor olfaction? why masticatory
reduction (MYH16)? why very long legs? etc.etc. This is what AAT (or AAT
s.s.) is about: it's obvious except to imbeciles that a waterside past
explains human typical features much better than running over the savanna,
eg, one must be a real fool if one believed that olfactory reduction would
be benificial for going to the savanna. A waterside past would also easily
explain why Homo dispersed to Java & Flors whereas other hominids (chimps,
gorillas, apiths) didn't even leave Africa.
Still following?
Now, we propose that some time after Homo & Pan split, our ancestors were
seaside omnivores who collected coconuts, fruits, bird eggs, turtles,
shell-, crayfish, algae... This explains many typically Homo traits (not
seen in apes or apiths) a lot better than dry savanna scenarios do: brain
size, diving skills, breathing control, vocality, small mouth & chewing
muscles, tongue bone descent, longer airway, projecting nose, reduced sense
of smell, handiness, tool use, late puberty, long legs, body alignment,
reduced climbing, fatness, fur loss, high needs of water, sodium, iodine &
poly-unsaturated fatty acids...
Any objections to this?
