Bioko and Afar are both good candidates for AAT location. Arguments for Bioko as opposed to Afar: 1. Bioko was and still is an island, without large predators. An easy place for apes to be isolated

But, there is not much difference from my version, where I am taking the Afar region as being barren volcanic. This is the same theory. There is another similarity, Bioko is on

Please read the arguments for the Bioko-version of AAT at anthropogeny.net and the two articles linked there. And then let's discuss Bioko. AAT will not go away, and neither will the Bioko version of

If you are searching for patterns, human speech is the most similar to this (a primate that is living on cliffs): https://youtu.be/JbdQumeqo50 https://youtu.be/lBiwsEIcxMI         This same

Well, I gave answers to all those questions, :) .

I fully agree.         But, the world is changing, the change *is* stressful, what was natural before, it ceases to be natural. You cannot live prehistoric life by riding in subway, working 8

If I have to chose between Mario Petrinovic and anybody else, my choice is even easier, :) .

I believe language has to have some kind of grammar, or at least structure. Which is why bees' dances and whale song is often considered to be language rather than just communication, as they conform

Right, and it isn't speaking, and saying "I am in danger" or "I think I'm in danger", it is just crying. We (nearly) all acquire language; is there a categorical difference between language and

Regarding other conjecture for crying, I am not aware of it. People connect crying to emotions. This works in my case, because the fear of being lost at sea is very stressful. Also, you can imagine

Hi Felipe,         I don't know anything about giving birth. Our women, clearly, gave birth in water, because even today they have less problems that way.         We don't have problems

And I like your reply -- this is getting embarrassing -- my point is that I question your identifying the emergence of language and the emergence of homo; I think other species exhibit

Elaine Morgan and others have pointed out, that there are strong indications of capacity for speech-like communication in other aquatic mammals, e.g. cetaceans and

Hello Mario, I just loved your argument and it left me completely shocked. I have one question about this idea (just a clarification) and one extra thought that might help strengthen it: The

Hi Nick         I like your post very much, excellent basis for a discussion about this subject. I am not sure, exactly, what is your point, but we can discuss this in detail, no problem. I
