Nothing to apologize for. Supporters of a proposition do a poor job of finding its weak points. Creationists make a cottage industry of picking apart everything that does not sound biblical. One day

Different great apes splitting off from a tree leading up to humans is not at all supported by genetics. And is disputed by some morphologists well before the genetic evidence demonstrated this model

Orangutans have small ears like gorillas. This suggests that small ears are ancestral to great apes: the LCAs shown here at 13 and 8 Ma ago had small ears. Chimps, bonobos, and humans have large ears,

Does anyone have a view as to why chimps/bonobos and humans have relatively larger ears compared to OWM, gorillas and orangutans? Small / flat or internal ears are a sign of aquaticism.

1) water mass exchange was reduced by ~90 % in a 1st step at c 20 Ma. (I suspect this is when the ancestor of gibbons migrated to Asia from Africa) 2) The terminal closure

There is no biological Europe. Hominins and great apes did not know about geological boundaries, or predict political futures. There was free gene flow with Europe and Asia, and less so with Africa.

About the same difficulty to make a net to hold things as to make the hair into a net. With a net and a float a lot easier to operate than with hair nets. And water containers can more easily be
