I have no doubt that they do swish for something algae-like (same with

"Something algae-like"?? What is this man talking about??

Ndoki gorillas eat sedges & "aquatic herbaceous vegetation", not algae!!

Charles cited bonobos you dope, not gorillas.

Fool, you snipped out what I actually said, how rude of you. I said
you could "imagine" I didn't say they were eating algae.


gorillas who also wade in streams and eat swamp food), since their

They don't wade in streams!

Are you sure about that? Never? The swamp by my place is spring fed,
yet it has an outlet creek, how could they avoid it?



teeth isotopes reflect this.

?? Don't talk nonsense: they don't even wade in streams.

Clown, what does C4 teeth have to do with creeks? You get C4 in teeth
by eating antelope that drink in creeks/swamps.


The teeth of early Homo does not (Julia Lee-Thorp 2001).

Teeth = plural.
Why should they?? What has Homo to do with these apes??

Senile old fool, read Lee-Thorp again, she said "...and early Homo
from Swartkrans..." Do I have to read everything for you? Don't
understand English yet?

M.Sponheimer & J.Lee-Thorp 1999 "Isotopic evidence for the diet of an early
hominid, Australopithecus africanus" Science 283:368-370 suggests
A.africanus ate "grasses, sedges &/or animals that ate these". Since grass
eating produces microwear totally different from what is seen in africanus &
requires cheekteeth with high ridges (eg, baboons), africanus did not eat
savanna grasses.
"Animals that ate these" is even more ridiculous: this
requires large front teeth esp.canines,

Lee-Thorp also showed that a species of grass-eating baboons do not
have teeth that reflect grass eaters, so much for your tooth BS.


the opposite of what we see in
africanus (very flat broad cheekteeth). Rests: sedges & other waterside
foods. Is this so difficult??

Says the man who thinks mountain beavers are semi-aquatic (TREE
2002:213-214). Lee-Thorp correctly thrashed tooth- wear data. So did
you when you claimed in TREE that mountain beavers ate the same thing
as capabaras, so it would be impossible for their tooth wear to be the
same since they don't eat the same things. Please come back when you
are not quite so illiterate.



Apiths are found in swamp forests (graciles) & later wetlands (robusts),

What has Homo to do with these apes??
