Marc "FYI:
AAT = Homo littoral diaspora.
Aquatic Ape Theory is an inaccurate term: it's not about apes, nor
about
having been aquatic. AAT states that our ancestors sometime after the
Homo/Pan split relied partly on aquatic resources:
- Homo: AAT, contrary to what many PAs think, has nothing to do with
australopiths,
- littoral: it's about our ancestors having been shoreline dwellers
(coast/lake/river-side),
- diaspora: Homo remains 1.8 Ma are found in places as far as Ain
Hanech
(Algeria), Dmanisi (Georgia), Mojokerto (Java) etc.: AAT simply says
that
these people got there along shorelines, not over dry plains."

As you can see, Marc's version of AAT is so watered down, it doesn't
have any explanatory powers,

said the Savanna Fool.

My little boy, if your ancestors had been savanna runners 2.5 Ma, you had
had no SC fat, no sweating, nu bipedality, no nakedness, no tool use, no
nothing. Are you really that stupid that you can't see the possibility that
our ancestors once might have collected foods at the waterside? You're a
pathetic fool that is wasting our time.
