"Earlier hominids": unknown & irrelevant: AAT has nothing to do with apiths
as you should know.
About the young: good argument, Travsky. Finally some sensible talk. Good,
my boy. There are several possibilities, not mutually exclusive: lower
metabolism? (babies can tolerate lower temperatures (see survivals of
earthquakes), stayed on land? (relatives - AAT = shoreline, forgot?), don't
need to be active (very thick SC fat, even more than tody? see fat
accumulation pre-& immediately after birth), fur?? (very unlikely IMO, but
essentially unknown).
