This is worthless speculation. Quite obviously hominids are communally territorialistic. Quite obviously this is the result of extreme seasonality and deadly dry seasons. All highly season habitats are mosaic. So the notion that hominids sought mosaic habitat is to put the cart before the horse. Hominids sought resources. And there are a lot of resources available in seasonal habitats IF they were able to survive the dry season, which hey achieved through communal territorialism, just like we do now.

PA is dominated by dimwits who actually believe the dumbed-down, vague notions they feed the public.

PA is delusional about linking bipedalism to locomotion. Bipedalism has to do with freeing the hands so that our earliest ancestors could participate in communal efforts to keep large herbivores out of their garden habitat, using sticks and stones, as a strategy to not run out of food during the deadly dry season. Early hominids were not nomadic. They were highly situated and highly territorialistic.

:-DDD

Some people are delusional about not linking BPism to locomotion.
Everybody, even Sir David Attenborough, knows why early Hominoidea became BP:

- https://www.gondwanatalks.com/l/the-waterside-hypothesis-wading-led-to-upright-walking-in-early-humans/

Miocene "apes" differed from "monkeys":
in being more upright (centrally-placed lumbar spine): hanging vertically from branches & wading upright,
in having lost the tail (disadvantageous in shallow water),
in having evolved a much wider sternum (Hominoidea=Latisternalia), thorax & pelvis, facilitating lateral movements of arms & legs,
in being much larger (secondarily reduced in hylobtis, but still long gestations),
in having rel.longer arms (branch-hanging) etc.
Google e.g. "aquarboreal verhaegen"... :-)

Miocene "apes" differed from "monkeys":
in being more upright (centrally-placed & shorter lumbar spine): hanging vertically from branches & wading upright,
in having lost the tail (disadvantageous in shallow water of swamp forests),
in having evolved a much wider sternum (Hominoidea=Latisternalia), thorax & pelvis, facilitating e.g. lateral movements of arms & legs,
in being much larger (secondarily reduced in hylobatids, but gibbons etc. still long gestations),
in having rel.longer arms (branch-hanging) etc.

Google
-- "aquarboreal",
-- "Verhaegen Bonne English".
