That one part of their respective lifestyles was identifcal doesn't
mean all parts of their lifestyle are identical.

Like the other dimwits you just believe that if you keep your thinking
vague that it preserves it's validity.

There is little vague in my thinking.

Answer this question, retard: Why do you insist that the earliest
hominids were not capable of climbing up into and sleeping in trees?

They found a solution to the problem --
the same as ALL our ancestors used for
the past five million years. It was based
on the use of safe refuges for females and
infants, while males roamed the
neighbouring country, tracking down
predators, harassing them, preventing them
breeding, and often killing them or driving
them away. Those safe refuges started as
off-short islands, then moved to adjacent
mainland locations, and expanded only very
slowly, not reaching the savanna until the
hominids got guns.
