Four incredible mistakes in "traditional" PA:
1) "Out of Africa" = wrong.
2) "Savanna Ancestors" = wrong.
3) "australopiths were human ancestors" = wrong.
4) "bipedality defines hominin" = wrong.
Geology before plate tectonics was not always correct,
but what many self-declared "paleo-anthropologists" believe is simply rubbish:
1) We were never African, at best Red Sea late-Miocene:
- Early-Miocene Hominoidea lived in Eurasia (hylobatids & pongids still do, and even most H.sapiens are Eurasian).
- Late-Miocene hominids (Gorilla-Homo-Pan ancestors) most likely lived in Red Sea swamp forests, google "aquarboreal".
- Pliocene H.sapiens ancestors did not live in Africa: we have no African retrovirus, e.g. Benveniste 1976, Yohn 2005.
2) Human ancestors have always been waterside, never dry savanna dwellers, cf. human physiology etc., e.g. https://www.gondwanatalks.com/l/the-waterside-hypothesis-wading-led-to-upright-walking-in-early-humans/
3) Most or all E.Afr.australopiths were fossil relatives of Gorilla, and S.Afr.australopiths, of Pan, e.g. 2022 "De Evolutie van de Mens" Acad.Uitg. Eburon Utrecht NL 325pp.
4) Early-Miocene Hominoidea were already bipedal waders-climbers in swamp forests, google e.g. "aquarboreal".
How can so many self-believed "scientists" assume the unbelievable nonsense that their ancestors ran after antelopes on Afr.savannas???
:-DDD
Ape & human evolution (why apes differ from monkeys, and why humans differ from apes) is not so difficult, e.g.
