Snipped the usual insults.
I read your nonsense until your first blunder: I have better things to do.

Again: that some hominid fossils are found next to lions or ostriches
or antelopes or whatever beasts you like or that stone tools have been found
in savannas does not contradict AAT:

"Some"??? You arrogant fool, you mean ALL the evidence for almost 1
million years before any evidence shows up Homo was even near a
beach.

My little little imbecile,
Ever heard of the incompleteness of the fossil & the archeol.record?
Do you really believe that you can find the Whole Truth about our Ancestors
in fossils or tools of hominids (with uncertain connections to our
ancestors) & by neglecting anatomy, physiology etc.??
Don't you really understand that whether there were signs of butchering at
Gona 2.6 ma or not does not contradict my ideas?? The physiological,
anatomical, behavioural & DNA differences between Homo & Pan show that human
ancestors some time after the Homo/Pan split ~5 Ma lived at the waterside
(coast/lake/river-side). Whether that was before 2.6 Ma &/or after 2.6 Ma
&/or at 2.6 Ma but elsewhere (eg, in S.Asia), is of no importance. Got it?
(no...) Do you really believe the hominids at Gona were your ancestors??
First try to make the distinction between "hominids" or "Homo" & "human
ancestors", okidoki?

Only complete imbeciles believe that a creature that needs a lot of water &
salt (yes, in your urine, my profligate urinator) is adapted to living in
hot & dry regions. If some hominids ever lived in savannas, it was at the
waterside there.

After 20 years, nobody has come up with a serious counter-arguments to this:
"Origin of hominid bipedalism" Nature 325:305-306, 1987: "... it is highly
unlikely that hominid ancestors ever lived in the savannas. Man is the
opposite of a savanna inhabitant. Humans lack sun-reflecting fur (4) but
have thermo-insulative subcutaneous fat layers, which are never seen in
savanna mammals. We have a water- and sodium-wasting cooling system of
abundant sweat glands, totally unfit for a dry environment (5). Our maximal
urine concentration is much too low for a savanna-dwelling mammal (6). We
need much more water than other primates, and have to drink more often than
savanna inhabitants, yet we cannot drink large quantities at a time (7-8).
.... It is difficult to understand why most anthropologists keep believing in
the savanna theory ... or why so many anthropologists keep trying to seek
the most improbable reasons for bipedalism, while they should know there are
much better explanations (9-11)."

Only complete imbeciles believes that we got 10 kilo of fat (not in chimps)
to run after wildebeest.
Hasn't it crossed your simple mind that hominids at Gona or where-ever might
have butchered trampled & drowned bovids crossing a river during the trek?
Never seen a wildlife film on this?? That is reality. Not your savanna
running nonsense.
