The turnover-pulse idea proposes, first, that global temperature fell
precipitously. Second, that this event caused the spread of arid
grasslands within the savanna patchwork of Africa. And, third, that
the growth of these grasslands prompted synchronized change in
hominids and other animal populations. The regional division of
populations led new species to arise, while the force of natural
selection caused new adaptations to evolve. The hominids were
converted to live in open terrain."

This is the best conventional theorists can do.

I see that you've found a new posting standard --

There's nothing new about your posting standard.

remove any hint of a thread, and sling insults.  That's
Marco to a "t", Dimmy.  As far as the description goes,
I don't see anything wrong with the general scenario.

Do you see anything right about it?  What might that be?  Or is it yet
another of your special secrets?  Oh, please do tell.

Perhaps you do?  One wonders what that might be.....?

Here ya go, Mikey.  Why don't you compare and contrast Vrba's
turnover pulse notion with my Ecological Gatekeeper
Hypothesis.  If nothing else it should be good for a few laughs.

Knock yourself out!- Hide quoted text -

One obvious difference: Vrba based her hypothesis on extensive
collection and analysis of actual fossil data.

We all use the same data you mental retard.

So how many extinct species of wildebeest were competing with your
gatekeeper apes?

I don't know.  Why do you think it matters?

No response.

Don't spin the BS with us Jimmy, we've all seen & heard the abuse. You
can't even name one scientific paper because you've never read one,
you've never dug so much as a hole on an archaeological dig and as
like as not you've never laid eyes on a fossil. You wouldn't know a
datum if it was rammed up your back passage. You are a brainless
windbag who's desperate for attention.

IOW, you have no dispute with my hypothesis.  Right?  (Answer the
question you evasive twit.)  

No response.

But you are so sure you are right that
you feel you must dispute the author, myself.

It's funny how you conventional whackos always know that you are right
but are unable to provide us with the details of what you are,
supposedly, right about.

Her hypothesis was
based on physical, tangible evidence of what happened to species
diversity over the course of the Pliocene / Pleistocene - e.g.
of large herbivores in Africa.

Vague, ethereal.  Ross, you should have been a priest or a
clergyman.

My references are not vague. Oblique maybe, to someone as immune to
irony as your idiot self...

I'd say oblique describes the whole discipline of PA.

The agenda of PA is to whitewash the social factors (group selected)
that underlie human origins.
