Olson, are you really too stupid to understand that when a forest animal
moves to the savanna, it becomes less dependent on water??
Verhaegin, are you too stupid to see lions didn't make the tools out
on the hot savanna, at Gona 2.6 mya?

Stupid answer from a stupid Savanna Fantast.

No answer from doughboy, just usual name calling. That's OK Marc, it's
the best you can do.

Can semi-aquatic predators, like otters, catch a kudu on the savanna?


That is as stupid as: Can terrestrial predators, like lions, catch shells
underwater?
Grow up, my boy. Are your really too stupid to understand that kudu runners

AAT = shoreline adaptations in the genus Homo = Homo littoral diaspora?
* Aquatic Ape Theory of human evolution (original term of E.Morgan 1982)
* Aquarboreal Apes Theory of Mio-Pliocene apes (aqua=water, arbor=tree)
* Amphibious Ancestors Theory of Plio-Pleistocene Homo (AAT strict sense)
AAT s.s. (based on the behavior, anatomy, physiology & DNA of living humans
compared to other animals) says that sea/lake-side ancestors collected
coconuts, fruits, bird eggs, turtles, shell-, crayfish etc. This explains
unique Homo traits (not seen in apes or apiths) better than plains- or
forest-dwelling scenarios do: brain size, diving skills, breathing control,
vocality, small mouth & chewing muscles, tongue bone descent, longer airway,
projecting nose, poor sense of smell, handiness, tool use, late puberty,
long legs, aligned body, poor climbing, fatness, fur loss, high needs of
water, sodium, iodine & poly-unsaturated fatty acids etc.
In the fossil & archeological record, we see this in the Plio-Pleistocene
diaspora of Homo populations along the Indian Ocean, African coasts, Rift
valley lakes etc. (eg, M.Trauth cs.2005 Science), & probably from there
inland along rivers etc. Homo much more than apith remains have been found
(in spite of sea level fluctuations) amid shells, corals & barnacles
throughout the Pleistocene, in coasts al over the Old World: Mojokerto,
Terra Amata, Table Bay, Eritrea, incl.islands that could only be reached by
sea: Flores 0.8 Ma http://allserv.rug.ac.be/~mvaneech/outthere.htm
