There seem to be still a lot of persistent misunderstandings among pro-
& anti-AAT people about subcutaneous fat.
- Our SC fat has nothing to do with brain fats. ...
Well, somewhere or another, someone needs to come up with a consistent
scenario that covers some of these issues ...bipedal first, big
brain later...
The AAT scenario is very consistent & completely gradual:...
I googled "pachyostosis Madar" and "crawford cunnane," with mixed
results. I did read them and the above post. I think it is good that
you and others, such as Algis, are working on a coherent scenario.
SF:
It is anything but coherent. Marc puts forth nonsense like snorkel noses
and flipper feet. ...
answered in other post
.... snipped on Algis : ask him
SF:
Here's a choice example of Marc's "coherent" approach in action... he denies
that australopiths were obligate bipeds, despite all the fossil evidence.
There is no fossil evedence that apiths were more bipedal than bonobos or
gibbons.
There is obvious evidence that some apiths were branch-haning: curved
phalanges etc., but the savanna fools deny this.
He thinks
that they became quadrupeds and thence to become chimps and gorillas.
the usual misrepresentations: these people are coward &/or stupid

...
Now, 2d part of answer. Listen good. Bit more difficult. Long long ago (2
Ma) times cooled down & dried (Pleistocene - forget everything between
brackets: it's for the grown-ups). It was colder in water, there were less
swamps, & less of the foods they liked in the swamp, so they liked to be
more on dry ground in the forest, wouldn't you? But why not move on 4 legs
there? It's very easy when you have long arms & short legs, don't you
think? ...
yes, obvious
When challenged, Marc responds with evasions and insults. He doesn't like
to post links to articles because then people could check for themselves.
ridiculous liar : the poor man must be really stupid if can't find
everything at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AAT + files
these idiots simply donet want to be informed
