If hominins had evolved on the coast,
their death rate from the occasional
tsunami would be high. So surely they'd
have evolved this disaster-detection
capacity to a higher degree than most
mammals? And they'd be at the top of
this list?

They clearly aren't. Their disaster-
detection faculties are minimal or
non-existent.

Is that the end of all Coastal Hominin
theories?

You're describing Intelligent Design, not evolution.

Things don't happen simply because they would be
convenient. If they did, why wouldn't the all the deer
& stuff just evolve bigger brains so they can out
smart the hunters? Maybe turn the tables on them,
hunt the hunted?

There's a great many factors here, the most obvious
being that they were interbreeding with inland
populations. It's what kept up one species, it was
the conduit which moved DNA from continent to
continent.

The sea also supports a larger population density than
inland hunter gathering. So they just didn't need it
enough.
