My little boy, you're becoming more & more delusional. What has all your

You stupid fool, most animals require water, so what??????

"The fossil evidence of early hominds
is positive evidence for occupation of inland, woodland
to open savannah environments. End of story. Saying
this does not 'contradict' hominids living elsewhere
only indicates you have mastered one of the great
logical fallacies. You can't prove a negative so its
no use asking. What you need to do is get positive
evidence for coastal, Indian Ocean hominds. Your
inability to understand this basic point is what will
forever confine you to the lunatic fringe."

Even swim fins and a snorkle wouldn't have help these guys.
So much for Homo's imaginary-aquatic past, meanwhile, Mr. Karoha runs
over the savanna and catches a
SC fat-deprived kudu.

Just answer, my little boy, where did the women & children get their food:

Ever see a chimp catch termites with a stick?

simply at the waterside (where they still love to be on vacation)

"Stone tools are patterns of human behavior." Louis Leakey

It is now known, and was not known when Hardy was alive, that:
"The discovery of equally old localities in areas like Dana Aoule and
Busidima which are 10 km away from Kada Gona imply that the first tool
makers ranged in a wider area over the ancient landscape (Semaw et al
2001)."

This confirms Isaac's (1977) observation that the entire basins were
utilized, whether the lakes were there or not.
There is no littorial pattern for the distribution of stone tools. In
fact, Acheulean sites are more likely to be found in dry, sandy stream
beds. Monkeys at Koobi Fora dig for water in these dry places today
and can get enough water to survive, no reason early Homo wasn't smart
enough to figure this out.

or running
after your kudu?

And running after land tortoises and finding ostrich eggs out on the
savanna at Gona 2.6 mya. (Semaw 2000, Roche et al. 1999).- Hide quoted text -
