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."

It's unfortunate that Ross cannot provide us direct access to his
imagination.


You don't need my imagination Jimmy. You can go to wikipedia. It's
called a "reference".

Greg Laden: "Hit the books, kid!"


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?

The reason you are straw-baiting Paul being?


That like you, he is not capable nor worthy of engaging in a reasoned
scientific discussion. And that like you, he is a laughable idiot, and
it amuses me to straw-bait him (and you.)

[F#@$in' dodgey "m" key on this keyboard!]

Or even a babboon. Right?

Wrong. Baboons need drinking water just as humans do.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baboon

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?

Once again it's unfortunate that Ross cannot provide us
direct access to his imagination.


Once again, you don't need it. You, to, can read wikipedia. "Hit the
books, kid!"

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

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

Uh, that savanna has some trees (and even treed localities) is common
knowledge and not pertinent to my statement.  Try reading my comments
in context.
