Below is a list of some of Marc's hypothesis from a different thread hereI agree with this one... so do most folks, when it is thought of just as a
on sap. I thought I would give my two cents worth. --chap
4) I have a lot of hypotheses (all based on facts), which >are often
independent from each other, should not be confused with each other & be
discussed apart, eg, from more to less probable:
- The classic savanna theories are ridiculous nonsense.
lone hunter guy crossing the open plains with a spear. The "mosaic" idea
has replaced it.
probable, IMHO.- Homo after the split with Pan dived for sessile foods once.
probable, IMHO. However, I would not use the word "strongly" but just that- Human ancestors were always strongly waterside.
we tend to live close to available water and probably got some sort of
nutrituional benefit from the water... even the bonobos eat some small
creature out of water.
beats me... way beyond my knowledge base.- H.erectus dispersed along coasts, rivers etc.
probable, and especially considering their size.- Apiths were predom.herbivores of calorie-poor plants.
yes, probable.- Apith diet included sedges/papyrus/bamboo (eg, in the "poor" season).
probable.- Apith bipedality (partial, short-legged...) was very different from our
own.
not in my opinion.- The Homo-Pan LCA already was a partial biped.
unknown to me. source? I do beleive that R. Buckminister Fuller used to- Human ancestors lived in S.Asia 4-3 Ma (& possibly for a much longer
time
span).
say that we had been in the Southeast Asia area for a lot longer than we
figured.
probable.- Stones & bones preserve well, so butchering is overestimated in human
evolution.
unknown to me. however, Native Americans in almost-historical times were- Human ancestors never were predom.carnivores (except perhaps shellfish,
seals...).
beleived to butcher meat and gorge themselves while butchering. so, one
could say that for the space of a couple of days or weeks.. right after a
kill... that they were predominantly carnivorous.
oh. gadzooks. I just don't know about this one either, but I claim layman- Apiths were not closer to humans genetically than to gorillas or
chimps.
status. So, you are saying that we must have evolved an independant line
and that the apiths just died out... were a dead end? and we just don't
have any fossils from the homo line? I can't or haven't followed your
reasoning for this assertion. (you are saying that there will be fossils
that cover the gap between the LCA about 7 mya and 3 mya when homo arose?)
probable. most humans today live near water and can swim when given the- (All?) archaic Homo were parttime divers (at least in some seasons).
chance.
perhaps, but I don't see a connection to our physiology.- (All?) archaic Homo (eg, Petralona) regularly floated on their backs.
improbable. Chimps hate water.- The Homo-Pan LCA was predom. a vertical wader-climber.
unknown to me.- A.africanus & robustus belong to the genus Pan.
unknown to me.- A.anamensis-afarensis-aethiopicus-boisei belong to Gorilla.
probable.- Early H.sapiens were still parttime waders (eg, fishing with harpoons
or
nets).
thanks for posting some of your ideas. i like this form better than just a
"your an idiot" type post or "you haven't read my theory" stuff.
