So I have no excuses for this stuff. Chimps were
talked about in another thread... this gets me to
thinking about other stuff... next thing you know
I'm wondering aloud about chimp troop sizes &
I come across this relevant tidbit:

: The home range of each troop varies from 18 to
: 21 sq km in the forest and 100 to 200 sq km in
: savannah

Well. The sea can support a higher population than
inland hunter-gathering. In the past, the sea would
have been orders of magnitudes more productive.

REMEMBER: Lobster fishing wasn't even a thing
until later in the 1800s. Before that people just
picked them up along the shore, like in tidal pools.

Oysters?

So what am I saying?

POPULATION DENSITY!

Aquatic Ape: Highest

Arboreal: Middle

Savanna: Lowest

So savanna idiocy is saying that human evolution,
the transformation of of our bodies into big brained,
upright walking tool makers was all the result of
LOWER genetic diversity!

Our ancestors REDUCED their genetic variation, the
size of their breeding population, and that's how they
went from a Chimp to running after antelope...

Wow. It's STAGGERING in the sheer weight of idiocy.
