Seems like you've got a disciple.

Ridiculous just-so fantasy, based on 0:
luckily, geologists & physicians know better:

The Waterside Hypothesis: wading led to upright walking in early humans
06/02/2023
Our ancestors lived in aquatic habitats according to the controversial but highly plausible Waterside hypothesis, formerly known as the Aquatic Ape Theory. Frequent wading in water led, among other things, to our most striking feature: walking upright on two legs. However, many paleoanthropologists still believe that bipedalism is the result of our supposed move from jungle to savannah, an idea that sprang from the now largely obsolete savannah hypothesis. In this article we rely on the insights of Belgian physician Marc Verhaegen, an authority on human evolution. His new findings from anatomy and comparative biology have greatly refined our current knowledge. ...

Yes, my boy, you haven't said 1 sensible word so far.

:-) Thanks a lot. Good boy!

Savanna believers OTOH take on an almost religious intensity – how can you not believe?

You should. If you're rich enough, well connected enough or just
plain lucky you be be amongst the 0.0001% that earn a good
living in the field.

That's actually a very important point, though you'll never "get it."

It's a private club. As is the case with every academic pursuit
that lacks a direct military or economic application, it's not ruled
by "The Best" people, the most gifted students, the brightest
thinkers. No, it's ruled by the people who navigate the politics of
academia the best.

Status matters. Social status. But skill, intelligence never has.

It's how everything from Piltdown man, though no-Neanderthal-
interbreeding and onto Naledi can happen...

YOU CAN'T EVEN DEAL WITH THE CHROMOSOME 11 INSERT!

I've pointed it out, you have to know it means that your entire
Out of Africa model is bullshit, but there's no article whose
headline you can quote saying that, no authority you can point
to who writes such articles...

For you, it's about headlines; what gets into print, what publications
printed it.

There's only one complete picture, and that Aquatic Ape. Accept it
and move on.

Seems like you've got another heretic to burn!

As your type are apt to say; "If they're innocent God will blow out the flames."

Yes, luckily, there are some real scientists (a geologist in this case) that think a bit... :-)

Pleist.human evolution is really not difficult:
-- savanna nonsense = pure fantasy, 0 indications,
-- coastal dispersal = obvious, lots of *independent* indications:
island colonizations, larger brain, fur loss, SC fat, breathing control, plantigrady, poor olfaction etc.etc.

Only incredible idiots still believe their ancestors ran after antelopes... :-DDD
