• New book, old baloney?

    From DD'eDeN aka note/nickname/alas_my_l@21:1/5 to All on Wed Sep 14 13:47:44 2022
    “Several successive human species evolved from anthropoid and australopitheque ancestors, such as Homo erectus and the Neanderthals. Humans descended from tree-dwelling monkeys, and according to the prevailing savanna hypothesis, they would have become
    bipedal over the course of several million years by leaving the forests and living on the African savanna. As a physician, author Marc Verhaegen has in-depth knowledge of human anatomy and physiology. He goes into detail about the evolution of our body,
    our brain and of our social and sexual behavior. He gives a comprehensive overview of the development of the human body over the last millions of years, such as changes to the limbs, skull shape, but also skin, hair, eyes, respiratory organs, and
    genitals. However, many aspects of human evolution remain under discussion. Certain elements of the human body are puzzling, and difficult to explain by the savanna hypothesis. Why do we walk upright? Why is our nose sticking out? Why did we lose our fur,
    but do we still have hair on our heads? Why did our brains get so big, and how come humans can speak? Verhaegen argues for the waterfront hypothesis: many peculiarities of the human body can be explained by living on the waterfront. He convincingly
    shows how the typical characteristics of humans indicate an evolution in the vicinity of water. Marc Verhaegen is a physician and anthropologist. He has published in leading journals such as New Scientist, Nature, Trends in Ecology and Evolution, Human
    Evolution. He has previously published In the Beginning Was Water: Latest Insights into Human Evolution (1997). In this new book The Evolution of Man, he incorporates the many new insights and discoveries of the past decades.”

    Still not answered: Where did human ancestors sleep?

    Do I have to ask it in Puttian dialect?

    What answer would satisfy you?

    Stop pretending that you're open minded. You believe you have a
    point here and as misguided as that belief may be nothing short
    of confirming your "Point" is ever going to satisfy you. So why
    not just tell us what it is, this answer that you seek?

    I didn't ask where human ancestors did "not" sleep.

    Earth is a planet with a surface 2/3 covered by water. Saying human ancestors lived "in the vicinity of water" isn't particularly informative.

    But at least you tried.

    Yes, that man is sick. I've answered such imbecilic questions several times. Only incredible idiots believe "human ancestors" (who??) slept in open savannas.
    At the waterside the different hominoid spp could have slept in different places, e.g. where apes sleep today,
    possibly in nests, google "aquarboreal".
    Early-Pleistocene Homo spp could have slept everywhere along the water, not impossibly in caves, and even floating on the water can't be ruled out,
    google "coastal dispersal Pleistocene Homo":
    1 thing is certain: only incredible imbeciles believe H.erectus slept in open savannas.

    Fur coats cf gibbons: brachiate, no nest.
    Aquarboreal monkeys: wading & climbing, not slow brachiating.

    Early-Pleistocene Homo spp could have slept everywhere along the water,

    Fur coats or domeshields.

    not impossibly in caves,

    Calif. Sea lions in caves: extremely dense pelage.

    and even floating on the water can't be ruled out,

    Sea otters floating in calm bays: extremely dense pelage.

    google "coastal dispersal Pleistocene Homo":
    1 thing is certain: only incredible imbeciles believe H.erectus slept in open savannas.

    One extreme is no better than another extreme when both rely on ignorance & fallacy.

    Where do you sleep?
    Where did your grandparents sleep?
    Where did their's sleep?
    Etc .

    The only extreme here is coming from you.

    Looking at the past is akin to looking at a wallet sized
    photo from 10 feet away. Many of the finer details are
    unknown and unknowable. So we concentrate on what
    we CAN dig up, what we CAN test for and what we CAN
    logically deduce, and pay no more than a little grumbling
    at what is beyond our point of view.

    Keep in mind, for all your tree-climbing, savanna idiocy,
    Team Lucy thinks she died by FALLING OUT OF A TREE:

    https://www.cnn.com/2016/08/29/health/lucy-early-human-ancestor-cause-of-death

    Yeah, "Argument" for tree top "Domeshields" there...

    So you base everything on the data that you don't
    have.

    Not saying that even the most proficient climbers can't
    have the occasional accident, but we lack any evidence
    for successful climbing. Only evidence for climbing
    resulting in death. So, again, you are literally basing your
    idiocy on what you don't have... and thinking this makes
    you the brightest child in kindergarten.

    Again, if there is a consensus at all it's that Lucy died BECAUSE she
    climbed a tree! You base all your mumblings on the evidence that
    you do not have, not evidence that exists.

    The current consensus is that Lucy died from a fall, and not a short
    one. So the only evidence we have for her species climbing trees is
    the consensus that tree climbing killed Lucy. She died because she
    climbed into a tree. Climbing into a tree killed her...
