Savanna Dimwit replied:None of these feature, my little boy, is seen
in savanna mammals.
Aquatic idiot replied:Really? But humans display some measure of your
list and they're savanna mammals.
Yes, if some fool says we're savanna mammals, then
we're savanna mammals...
Savanna mammals, my little boy, have a keen sense
of smell, are fast, don't need much water, don't much
iodine, don't need much sodium etc.etc.
Monsoon Cities-in-the-trees Nutcase said:
This knife cuts both ways, you idiot. Marc, at best you can say that
Hominids have *some* traits that are consistent with aquaticism. And
your opponents employ the same dimwittedness in opposing your vague
nonsense.
It's idiotic to suggest that humans are either aquatic adapted or
savanna adapted.
Clearly.
Junk science happens when scientists believe something
based on just some of what they see.
Real science involves careful consideration of *ALL* of the evidence.
Real science consists in REJECTING
bad theories on the basis of the
evidence, and then seeing what is left.
Uh huh. And so . . .?
Each of the Savanna, the Aquatic, and
the Monsoon-Cities-in-the-Trees theories
can be rejected on the most obvious of
evidence.
Yeah, right.
What it comes down to, Paul, is that you have no evidence based
dispute with my hypothesis. Not only do you have no evidence based
dispute with the situational factors therein (onset of dry-season
monsoon climate, isolation of treed localities, tremendous competition
from food competitors, potential for collective predator siege/
massacres) but you also have no dispute with my assertion that this
explains the selective emergence of the communal territorialistic
behaviors/adaptations that are so plainly apparent in our species.
I'm not suggesting that early hominids resided in cities in the same
sense that we presently consider a city to be a city. Presently we
consider cities to be human constructs. Obviously I'm not suggesting
that early hominids built cities.
Current theory just assumes that cities emerged suddenly 8 thousand
years ago. It considers cities (and agriculture) as things that were
discovered at that time. What is left unexplained is the selective
origins of the behaviors and abilities necessary. The communal
selection of my hypothesis solves this riddle.
