Sigh. Do chimps dive? Can they hold their breath for 5 minutes? Do they
have large brains? Do they have small mouths? SC fat? Are they naked?

This is rather obvious anecdotal nonsense. Yet it is the strongest
evidence of AAT.

Really? I mean I'll agree that it's the strongest evidence
but since it's non-evidence that really adds up to no
evidence at all --which is what the AAR has going for it.
Tell me, world's greatest living evolutionary theorist, how
does a chimp having a relatively (there's a loaded term)
large mouth add up to an aquatic past for humans?

Further, since we're talking about chimps and you
were earlier going on and on about where they live,
what do you make of this?

You must have missed it the first time, eh? Or
were you just ignoring contradictory evidence --
like the good scientist you are. And there's a
little nugget here for Marco as well. It seems these
savanna chimps use a shallow pool as a home base
from which they make regular forays into the surrounding
countryside. No doubt he'll be adding it to his other
"evidence" above.
