    Chimpanzees aren't a model at all, because they WERE bipedal and
    then LOST IT. They evolved knuckle walking AFTER the LCA.

    Non-sequitur. Chimps were never habitually bipedal.

    Given that the oldest Chimp remains are supposedly half a million
    years old, you have no clue what so ever. But what we do know is that
    the foramen magnum had to have moved considerably towards the
    back of the skull, since divergence.

    Nope, it's called evidence; no belief required.

    There's no such evidence in existence.

    Go on. Cite the very oldest Chimp fossil.

    It's the one you're using to state that they were bipedal and
    lost it. You would not have made such a statement without
    evidence, right?

    Which is circular. There's no such thing as "Arboreal Bipedalism in any

    this imaginary "Arboreal Bipedalism" was a thing and then pronounce
    any evidence of bipedalism as proof of it.

    The foramen magnum in Sahelanthropus tchadensis is described by
    many cites as CLOSER TO humans than even Lucy's ilk, and Lucy's
    kind are believed even by the savanna idiots to have walked upright. Sahelanthropus tchadensis was an animal evolved to keep it's head
    upright n a way that no other primate, except for humans, ever does so.

    BPism is NOT a defining feature of the "human" (hominoid? hominid? Homo?) lineage, of course.
    Retreating forests had 0 to do with this.
    Early-Miocene Hominoidea were already BP, not for running of course, but simply for wading upright in forest swamps (probably coastal forests):

    Four legged animals wade too and keep their head above

    Yes, but they're no primates: google e.g.

    Aquatic Ape is the answer, the good Doctor is right, and I would

    years ago, after a super volcanic eruption. Such an event would
    have heavily favored populations along water's edge and closer
    to the equator. The closer to the equator, the easier to ride out
    the volcanic winter. Water moderates temperature so they
    would have remained a little warmer than inland groups. And the
    sea is a far more stable source of protein.

    It probably started long before then but that was likely a very
    important, defining moment in our evolution.

    : Chimpanzees living in analogous habitats to early hominins offer a

    This is the opposite of true. Chimps are knuckle walkers. They LOST
    bipedalism. They are not a model for an animal on the cusp of
    evolving bipedalism, they arose from bipedal ancestors. They LOST
    their bipedalism when they took to their present environment(s).

    Yes, but you repeated this anatomically & physiologically impossible fantasy. When forests retreat in Africa, you'll find more savanna baboons, which are more quadrupedal than forest baboons.

    Miocene Hominoidea were already frequently bipedal in swamp forests, for: -wading upright in the shallow water &
    -climbing arms overhead in the branches above the water.
    Hylobatids (siamangs, gibbons) are still upright=vertical brachiators in trees. Pongids (orangutans) still occasionally wade bipedally in forest swamps, in spite of Pleist.coolings.
    Lowland gorillas still wade bipedally for sedges in forests swamps, and bonobos for waterlilies etc.
    Pleistocene Homo frequently dived for shellfish, cf.
    --stone tools for opening shells + handiness,
    --human-made shell engravings, google "Joordens Munro",
    --brain enlargement++, cf. DHA & other brain-specific nutirents in shellfish etc.,
    --island colonizations, as far as Java & even Flores:
    that explains why we lost our fur, got SC fat-layers, sebaceous glands, smaller mouth & tongue-bone descent (suction), ext.nose & voluntary breathing (shallow diving) etc.,
    and only this can explain why H.erectus evolved pachy-osteo-sclerosis (very thick & dense skeletons, which are only seen in slow+shallow-diving animals).

    Stipulating for arguments' sake your comments above are factually
    correct, they presume your aquaboreal apes were already at least
    partially bipedal at the time they became aquaboreal, and so don't
    inform the origin of bipedalism.

    BPism is NOT a defining feature of the "human" (hominoid? hominid? Homo?) lineage, of course.
    Retreating forests had 0 to do with this.
    Early-Miocene Hominoidea were already BP, not for running of course, but simply for wading upright in forest swamps (probably coastal forests):
    - keeping the head above the water,

    Four legged animals wade too and keep their head above
    water.

    Yes, but they're no primates: google e.g.

    So? Humans are then only obligate biped. Pretty much all other primates
    are *facultative* bipeds and otherwise move around quadrupedally.

    They show far more bipedal behavior in trees and on land than

    From Frans de Waals' bonobo book, an interview with Barbara
    Fruth and Gottfried Hohmann, who have observed bonobos in the
    wild since 1990 (you can see this here)

    <https://books.google.com/books?id=VVgcNpuozScC&pg=PA80&lpg=PA80&dq=%22The+apes+sometimes+wade+for+hours+through+the+stream+bed.%22&source=bl&ots=mRqCIs2U3q&sig=ACfU3U1Yb78wWqds3bI012ntNliRaWQbeQ&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjz1uTe_6D-

    Fruth: [... bonobos eating tiny crustaceans in streams ...]
    The apes sometimes wade for hours through the stream bed.

    Frans de Waal: Bipedally?

    Fruth: [laughing...] No, they simply wade through the water
    on all fours; these little streams are very shallow.

    And in a footnote of Frans de Waal's to this part of the interview:

    I had earlier published some tongue-in-cheek speculations
    about how bonobos might fit the "Aquatic Ape" theory,
    according to which our ancestors began to walk upright
    when wading into shallow water (de Waal 1989, 182-86). Reports
    had suggested that bonobos enter streams bipedally. Fruth
    and Hohmann, however, have never seen such behavior.

    So between something that isn't bipedal from something that is. Wow.
    That's a stumper.

    Arboreal bipedalism is a plausible precursor

    This is idiocy. "Chimps became bipedal by living in trees, and then became knuckle walkers the same way!"

    There's no distinction. You're claiming that it's a dice roll: "Maybe it's bipedalism this time, maybe it isn't."

    Chimps were bipedal, their ancestors anyway. And now they're not. They
    lost their bipedalism by adapting to the forest.

    The peanut gallery says Chimps & humans split around

    at least 7 million years ago.

    By the "Arguments" of the savanna idiots, Chimps evolved

    bipedalism is a plausible precursor to both terrestrial bipedalism and

    Bipedal behavior in trees has been rather well observed


    Exactly so, a relevant point lost in the noise and ignored by the

    These aren't magic words. "Bipedal" isn't a behavior. Chimps aren't
    bipedal. Sure, many dogs can and do walk on their hind legs on
    command, but they're not bipedal either. THESE ARE NOT MAGIC

    it's evident in the skeleton. It's biology.

    You are making distinctions without a difference, and too stupid

    The good Doctor is right about Aquatic Ape. It's the only model for

    the overriding fact of Aquatic Ape has to be true.

    Our dependence on DHA for our brains, all by itself, means we had to

    Who is Nando? another kudu runner?

    *Every* detail is biologically/anatomically/geologically/medically/scientifically correct here
    (publications in Nature etc.):
    Nasalis monkeys wade bipedally in mangrove forests + sometimesclimb arms overhead.
    c 30-20 Ma:
    India approaching S-Asia at first formed island archipels, full of coastal forests:
    Catarrhini reaching these islands became Hominoidea: wading bipedally + climbing arms overhead = aquarboreal.
    c 20 Ma:
    India further underneath Asia split hylobatids (E) & other=great apes (W) in coastal forests along N-Tethys Ocean.
    c 15 Ma:
    The Mesopotamian Seaway closure split pongids (E) & hominids (W): hominids in the Med.Sea coastal forests.
    Some hominids s.s. (i.c. Gorilla-Homo-Pan) colonized the swamp forests of the (then incipient) Red Sea.
    c 8-7 Ma:
    N-Rift fm, followed by Gorilla -> Afar -> Sahelanthr., Praeanthr.afarensis Lucy etc. ->boisei, today G.gorilla & beringei.
    c 6-5 Ma:
    Red Sea opens into Gulf (Francesca Mansfield thinks caused by Zanclean mega-flood 5.33 Ma):
    - Pan right: E.Afr.coastal forests -> S-Rift -> Transvaal -> Austr.africanus->robustus (// Gorilla) -> today Pan trogl. & paniscus.
    - Homo left: S.Asian coasts -> Java early-Pleist. -> shallow-dving: pachy-osteo-sclerosis, DHA, brain+, tool use, shell engravings...
    mid->late-Pleist.: diving->wading->walking H.sapiens.

    Simple, no? :-)

    Gorilla are known to make & use Oldowan tools:
    did late-Miocene hominids (Red Sea) already used stone tools for removing oysters from mangrove trees? + opening them?

    AFAWK, of all Hominoidea, only Homo can dive:
    why did Homo (only early-Pleist.?) evolve from aquarboreal to shallow-diving?
    - pachyosteosclerosis (exclusively seen in shallow-diving tetrapods),
    - platycephaly, platymeria, platypelloidy,
    - longer & more horizontal femoral necks (lateral leg movements),
    - larger apertura nasalis (big nose),
    - more dorsal foramen magnum (eyes directed more rostrally),
    - brain much larger (seafood + DHA etc),
    - island colonisations, e.g. Flores >18 km oversea,
    - shell engravings, google "Joordens, Munro",
    - better stone tools etc.

    Chimps __Lost__ their bipedalism in the forest. The forest is where
    bipedalism went to die.

    The good Doctor posits that Chimps are descended from
    Australopithecus. I don't expect you to agree with anything not
    coming from a religious authority for you, and I don't know if he's
    right but, I DEFINITELY know that he's thinking along the right
    lines.

    Look. The popular dating for the LCA is like 6 million years, based on
    mtDNA and some imaginary "Molecular Clock." Choose this date and
    we are missing 5.5 million years of Chimp fossils, and most of the
    Chimp fossils that came after that.

    They're missing too.

    Now one hypothesis that explains this is the idea that we've already
    found them, we just don't recognize them as Chimp ancestors. And
    given how close Chimps are to us, their DNA, some even argue that
    Pan should be abolished and Chimps should be grouped under Homo,
    and the dating for the LCA pretty much requires a bipedal ancestor,
    chances are the LCA looked a lot more like Homo than Pan.

    It's been a long time since I read it, and I may be misremembering, but

    It's been a long time since I read it, and I may be misremembering, but
    I have the idea that The First Chimpanzee (Gribbin and Cherfas, 2003) >contains such evidence.


    I couldn't find a source for your cite, either online or hardcopy.
    Also, JTEM has rejected the concept of arboreal bipedalism.

    Somebody
    JTEM has rejected the concept of arboreal bipedalism.

    Has he?
    Aquarborealism is where BPism began: aqua+arbor (swamp forest):

    4 frequent paleo-anthropological prejudices:
    Human ancestors
    1) became bipedal (BP) when we left the trees for the ground??
    2) evolved in Africa: Out-of-Africa (OoA)??
    3) lived in savannas???
    4) had australopithecine ancestors??
    These are ridiculous anthropo- & afro-centric just-so pre-assumptions:
    1) “we are the only BP primates” implies BP = “hominin” = closer to us than to apes,
    2) Darwin thought “Out of Africa” because Pan & Gorilla are African,
    3) in Africa, when you leave the jungle, you come in savanna,
    4) apiths lived in Africa, they were BP, and had some humanlike anatomical traits:
    therefore, many (most?) PAs still assume, with 0 evidence:
    1) we became BP after/when we split from Pan, and left the forest,
    2) “hominins” & Homo originated in Africa (OoA),
    3) we walked/ran bipedally in savannas (e.g. “endurance-running”),
    4) BP fossils in Africa incl. apiths are “hominin”
    (anthropocentric belief: Pan & Gorilla have 0 fossils?!?).

    These afro+anthropo-centric prejudices are completely wrong, of course:
    1) early-Miocene Hominoidea were already BP=vertical waders-climbers in swamp forests (humans & gibbons still are BP),
    2) Mio-Pliocene Hominoidea lived along N-Tethys Ocean coasts (hylobatids & pongids still live in SE.Asia),
    3) human ancestors have always been waterside, cf. physiology, anatomy, diet+DHA, island colonizations, intercontin.dispersals etc.etc.,
    4) E.Afr.apiths resemble Gorilla > Pan > Homo, S.Afr.apiths resemble Pan > Homo or Gorilla (e.g. my Hum.Evol.papers).
    Google AQUARBOREAL, https://www.gondwanatalks.com/l/the-waterside-hypothesis-wading-led-to-upright-walking-in-early-humans/

    Aquarboreality explains hominoid=ape anatomy:
    large size, tail loss, broad sternum-thorax-pelvis, lateral arm+leg movements, central (not dorsal) vertical spine etc.
    Possible partial aquarboreal convergence: Nasalis?
    proboscis-monkeys (largest colobines, upright body, rel.long legs…) in mangrove forests climb, sit, wade bipedally, often arms overhead.


    Plate Tectonics & Hominoid Splittings IMO:
    ~30 Ma India approached S-Asia, forming island archipels: coastal forests++. ~25 Ma Catarrhini reaching these islands became wading bipedally + climbing arms overhead in swamp forests -> aquarboreal Hominoidea.
    ~20 Ma India further underneath Asia split hylobatids (E) & other=great apes (W), both following N-Tethys coastal forests (E vs W).
    ~15 Ma the Mesopotamian Seaway Closure split pongids-sivapiths (E) & hominids-dryopiths (W: Medit.Sea + incipient Red Sea swamp forests.
    ~8 Ma in Red Sea: N-Rift fm, followed by Gorilla -> Afar -> Praeanthropus afarensis Lucy...-> boisei -> today G.gorilla & G.beringei (Hum.Evol.papers).
    ~5 Ma the Red Sea opening into the Gulf (Francesca Mansfield thinks caused by Zanclean mega-flood 5.33 Ma) split Homo & Pan:
    – Pan went right: E.Afr.coastal forests -> S-Rift -> Transvaal -> Australopith.africanus -> robustus (// Gorilla) -> today P.troglodytes & P.paniscus (id.),
    – Homo went left: S.Asian coasts -> Java early-Pleist.H.erectus -> shallow-diving: pachy-osteo-sclerosis, DHA, brain++, stone tools, shell engravings...
    mid--> late-Pleist.: diving -> wading -> walking H.sapiens (my book p.299-300).

    Simple, no? :-)
    Early-Pleistocene archaic Homo ate a lot of shellfish,
    but what did Mio-Pliocene hominoids eat mostly? fruits? mangrove oysters? rice? ...?

    Yesterday GondwanaTalks posted the same crap in nl.wetenschap and today
    he did it again. Utterly mesmerized by early Hominoids running after
    atelopes (sic). We've got a couple of religious fanatics in
    nl.wetenschap and their posting behaviour is exactly like Gondwana-
    Talks'. Showing us it really doesn't make any difference if your
    obsession is with God or with bipedal monkeys wading upright in coastal mangrove swamps.

    I didn't know that! Thanks for telling me!

    Are you aware of any serious scientific research on the evolution of
    this monkey's remarkable nose? Did it somehow originate from wading in
    very deep water in the mangrove swamps?

    Are you pretending to never have seen the cite debunking your

    THAN 6.3 million years old and even then there had to be over
    a million years of interbreeding?

    That cite? Is that the one you're pretending to have never seen?

    The retrovirus evidence that African apes carry but not Asian
    apes and not humans? That cite?

    The fact that many really do claim that Chimps are so close to
    modern humans, genetically, that we should do away with Pan
    altogether and label them Homo? Is that the cite you never saw
    this time?

    Is there a different cite you're pretending to have never seen?

    Oo! What about the teeth that look like Ardi or Lucy and are
    10 million years old and, oh; they're in Europe?

    Maybe that's the cite you're pretending to have never seen...

    :-DDD
    From my talk next Sunday:

    4 just-so Assumptions in Traditional Paleo-Anthropology with 0 evidence:
    --From Forest to Open Plain ??
    --No Fossils of Pan or Gorilla ??
    --Only “hominins” = bipedal ??
    --Out of Africa ??
    How can a whole “science” be sooo wrong ??
    Afro-, Anthropo- & Ego-centric thinking:
    “Gorilla & Pan are Homo’s closest relatives, both live in Africa -> concl.: Homo came from Africa.”
    “Only Homo is bipedal today (& hylobatids?) -> BPity is a ‘hominin’ innovation -> all ‘bipedal’ fossils are pre-human -> Lucy & australopiths = human ancestors.”
    “Gorilla & Pan in forests are QP, Homo on the ground is BP -> leaving forests in Africa = BP in savannas.”

    “100s of African hominid fossils are relatives of 1 extant species H.sapiens”:
    IOW, 4 extant African spp (Pan troglodytes, P.paniscus, Gorilla beringei, G.gorilla) have +-no fossils?!?
    Orangutans have numerous fossil relatives, but in Africa, according to the kudu running fanatics, all hominid fossils are "human ancestors"...
    :-DDD
    Statistically alone, this is impossible.
    But of course, who prefers to dig up a fossil gorilla rather than a fossil human…

    PA textbooks describe
    - 100s of early ape fossils in Africa, Europe, Arabia, Asia (‘dryopiths’) - 100s of fossils of relatives of Asian apes (orangutan)
    - no fossils of relatives of Plio-Pleist.African apes (gorilla, bonobo & chimp)
    - 100s of fossils of relatives of ‘us’, in Africa & Eurasia èhuman)
    = statistically impossible of course
    = Ego-, Anthropo- & Afro-centric Biases

    Still no cite.

    Which cite are you pretending to have not seen?


    Since you asked, the cite YOU said proves YOUR claim YOU deleted. To
    refresh your convenient amnesia, YOU wrote:

    "Chimps evolved AWAY from bipedalism. They lost bipedalism
    in the forest. It's not where it arose it's where it died."

    You're welcome.
