You are trying to start a debate about something that is already[..]
beyond debate. We can already make reasonable deductions about the
climate in east Africa:
3) From 2.5 on it was savanna grassland habitat.
How do you know?
Don't take my word for it, look it up.
"Look it up"? Do you think such 'facts'
can be readily obtained and recorded?
You seem to have no conception of the
primitive state of such knowledge.
And your solution is unrestrained speculation?
Much of East Africa is savanna
grassland NOW. But we are now
in an inter-glacial. Before 12 kya
the world was very much drier and
colder.
Okay, how much of an effect this would have had in east Africa is
something I don't know. Why not ask a paleoclimatologists?
Who would you recommend?
Hmm. Nobody inparticular comes to mind.
What effect would a shift to such a
climate have on a typical grassland?
I dont' think there is anything wrong with delving into greater detail
about past climates but I think you need to make more of an effort to
relate it to paleoanthropology. I'm not sure what your point is,
assuming you have one.
The great bulk of standard-PA dolts
believe that human ancestors occupied
these vast savannas, from about 2-3
mya up to recent times, (i.e. shortly
before the dawn of recorded history.
Curiously, once recorded history
arrived, no humans were to be found
there. But that's by-the-way.)
Yes, I know. They have nothing but vague notions that function to
conceal the fact that they have no real hypothesis. These idiots
would have us believe that hominids are grassland species when the
evidence indicates that with the appearance of savanna grasslands in
east africa hominids began to migrate out of africa following the
monsoon climate into Asia.
It would make a difference to the story
of Human Evolution (as understood
by these dolts, and by those they
influence) if those savannas did not
exist.
Where you stand on all this, I have
not the faintest idea.
Sounds like a personal problem. I can't help you there.
