Right. So they'd be extremely vulnerable to drought and its
complications than, let's say, a zebra. Right?

Wrong.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plains_Zebra

All it says is what's been quoted:

"Plains zebras can not survive very long without water and must be at
 least 25-30 kilometers from a water source."

But there are huge differences between
zebras and hominids in this matter.  Zebras
are not territorial, and go where they will,
seeking water when they need it -- over
long distances.  Whereas hominids ARE
territorial. They must have water locally.
A human mother with a small infant cannot
walk more than a few kilometres to get water
every day, and normally she will walk much
less.

Hmm. The reason why a hominid would not establish a territory which
included access to some water source being?


Or even a babboon. Right?

Wrong. Baboons need drinking water just as humans do.

Ridiculous.  Baboons do not sweat, and
have far lower requirements for water.
Your 'source' says nothing about this.
Did you read it?

Baboons drink water. Did you read it?


Kinda make you wonder what they were doing
out in the treeless savanna

As Mikey has pointed out to you, savanna is not treeless.

Only complete fools believe that hominids
evolved on savannas.

Paul.

With your track record Paulie, your judgement on who should be classed
as a complete fool carries little weight...
