Post by Marc VerhaegenAfter a several yrs, I could finally get my 1st paper published when I
was 33 or 34, almost 40 yrs ago. Elaine wrote her books half a century
ago, and these idiots are still running in African savannas...
:-DDD How can a whole "science" be sooo wrong for so long??
anthropo- + egocentrism?
Prof.Tobias was so honest to admit that he had been wrong. How is it
possible that some?most PAs remain so stupid (or dishonest??) to
believe in "australopith ancestors", "endurance running" & "out of
Africa" although these 3 fantasies have been proven to be wrong??
Is it the combination? are they really incapable of seeing that our
Pliocene Homo followed S-Asian coasts + often dived for shellfish
etc.? is it too much for them?: should we attack these prejudices 1
by 1? or all 3 together?
pachyosteosclerosis = shallow-diving, auditory exostoses = water
irrigation, enamel wear caused by shells+sand, island colonisations,
brain size++ = sea-food, fossilisations amid
barnacles-corals-shelfish..., shell engravings (S.Munro), stone use +
extreme manual dexterity, ... And these fools keep running after
antelopes in Africa... :-DDD

Post by JTEM is so reasonablePost by PandoraSo, basically no open discussion with regard to one of PA's main
paradigms.
This may come as a shock to you, you being an idiot, but we all
grew up in the same world. We were all exposed to savanna
idiocy, spoon fed it since we were babies. We're all well versed
in Out of Africa purity. We know it. Better than you do, it seems,
as you insist on viewing every little detail in complete isolation,
WITHOUT any context never mind relation to other details. >
No model, toots.
There's no reason to discuss the status quo.
People are stupid, full stop.
