No nonsense. These leading PAs do follow the savanna theory.
See Potts 1998, Wang and Crompton 2004. They know that lions did
not make the stone tools found on the savanna. Why do you keep
citing out-of-date material? Is it because that is all you have?

Holger Preuschoft 2004
Mechanisms for the acquisition of habitual bipedality:
are there biomechanical reasons for the acquisition of
upright bipedal posture?
J. Anat. 204 pp363-384
"Once bipedality has been acquired, development of typical human
morphology can readily be explained as adaptations for energy saving
over long distances. A paper in this volume
shows that load-carrying ability was enhanced from australopithecines
to Homo ergaster
(early African H. erectus),supporting an earlier proposition that
load-
carrying was an essential factor in human evolution."
The ST is not about 1926 and Raymond Dart any longer, got it?

Fact: no leading PAs follow the wet ape nonsense.
