Yes, Travsky, one must be a really fanatic savanna believer to
be
convinced
that the bones must have washed there only after death... :-D

No, one must be a scientist and know something of taphonomy.

Yes , see http://allserv.rug.ac.be/~mvaneech/outthere.htm

You've long confused place of death with where they lived.

No answer of course.

:-D Travsky is convinced that were a fossil lays it certainly could
not
have lived... Our boy is convinced that fossils that are found in
deserts
lived in seas a vice versa... Do you still believe, Travsky, that the
Nariokotome Boy (which lay amid reeds & shells & hippo footprints, as
you
know) went into this marsh to cool down from his dental abscess as some
PAs
fantasize, where unfortunately (fortunately for us) he died?
And do you still claim that early Homo could not have dispersed along
coasts & riversides?

No answer of course.

Are you still convinced humans could not have dispersed over land as well?

You're about as smart & fanatic as the geologists who rejected plate
tectonics once.

:-D Marc is convinced that a where a fossil lays it only lived there

No, my boy: you are the fool who believes that convinced that were a fossil
lays it certainly could not have lived...

Place of death is not evidence of place of life. Water holes would be dangerous
places to live. Predators, you know, find these great places to hunt...

Our infant Marc says humans lived in seas?

It's very low of you keeping misrepresenting

You mean ridiculing.

Hippos? Didn't you see Lee Olsen thrashing Algis last year?

No, why do you believe I should have seen something like that??

;)

There is no evidence that the Turkana Boy died amid reeds & hippo
trails (you need to review Walker & Leakey (1993) again.

My boy, don't you even know the Boy lay amid reeds & hippos prints??
Just answer this instead of evading:
- Do you really believe, Travsky, that the Boy went into this marsh to cool
down from his dental abscess as some savanna-biased PAs fantasize, where he
died?

Where did I claim that? Are you making up things again???

- Are you still fanatically convinced that early Homo could not have
dispersed along coasts & riversides? Any arguments for this curious
conviction?

Are you still convinced humans could not have dispersed over land as well?
