Now we'll see what B & L have to say
about your "analysis".

I see you referenced the 2001 Stringer
quote in your PDF as originating from SAP.
sigh
finally
why don't these fools inform??
Primarily because getting you to produce
a reference is like pulling teeth.  In this instance,
you refuse to say where you got the quote

disgusting liar  

Precisely ~what~ have I said that isn't
true, Marco? Perhaps you'd like to
reference this quote (finally) and put
this issue to rest....?

Here is the reference lifted from your PDF:
"Stringer, C. (2001). Discussion group
sci.anthropology.paleo, September 14."

Lets look it up, shall we?

Dear Professor Stringer,

You might like to look over the insert below. It is a post from the
Usenet newsgroup sci.anthropology.paleo. Marc Verhaegen, whose
pertinent websites are included with his sig file, has been including
your name as proof of mainstream support for his version of the Aquatic
Ape Theory (AAT). As you can see from the insert,
he also has been referencing the "Out There" Tobias article. I
have a personal communication from Professor
Tobias in which he categorically denies ever having said anything
in support of the AAT. He does say that
water, as a strategic resources, has been overlooked in
theoretical circles and seeks "a more objective
appraisal" of the claims made by the proponents of the AAT.

I and the other readers of SAP would like to know:

1.) What are your thoughts on Verhaegens' AAT as outlined at
http://allserv.rug.ac.be/~mvaneech/Verhaegen.html ?

2.) How does wading, as you suggest in your quote, force bipedality?
IOW, what sorts of selective pressures are at work in a ~terrestrial~
primate while at the waters' edge? Or, like Marc Verhaegen, do you
favor an ~aquatic~ interlude at some time in our developmental history?

Thank you very much for your time,

Mike, Thanks. I am afraid I don't have a lot of time to spend on this.
In
the past I have agreed that we lack plausible models for the origins of
bipedalism and have agreed that wading in water can facilitate bipedal
locomotion (as observed in other normally quadrupedal primates) . I have
never said that this MUST have been the forcing mechanism in hominids but
I do consider it plausible. As for coastal colonisation, I argued in my
Nature News & Views last year that this was an event in the late
Pleistocene that may have facilitated the spread of modern humans. But
adapting to coastal living is, of course, not the same as living IN the
water...Best Chris
