Hominins on Crete were not isolated. Crete was attached to the Mianland 6mya and part of a mostly African biome. New Research Suggests Human-Like Footprints in Crete Date to 6.05 Million Years Ago - A

He was interrogating me on twitter and seems to have been satisfied in the end. For example he asked if I made up the phrase “purative selection” and said he could not find anything about it, so I gav

Any opinions about this? Seems some branches of AAT are becoming established in main stream science. 4_Kuliukas.pdf (riverapes.com)

The fossil evidence not long ago suggested great apes went extinct in the Upper Miocene of Africa. In Africa Upper Miocene deforestation was severe, not so much in Asia. Hominids in general were under

A broken watch is correct twice per day. “The earliest known proboscidean is Eritherium, followed by Phosphatherium, a small animal about the size of a fox. Both date from late Paleocene deposits of M

It is not known where the Hominid began geographically. It did seem very unlikely to be all or in part Africa. Now there is some fossil evidence it might have been partly in Africa. The oldest hylobat

Human teeth suggest reduced carnivory not increased. This is likely due to fire use and better tools. Still there is no morphological evidence of increased carnivory. In denisovans the teeth suggest i

Assuming Ardipithecus is close to a “common ancestor” of Homo and Pan in foot osteology is almost as unlikely as assuming such a “common ancestor” was Pan like in foot osteology. There is no evidence

Teeth found in the same layer as the Grimaldi EEMH skeletons have similar tooth wear, including on the roots. In deciduous teeth. Sent from Mail for Windows

Late Homo erectus from java was established to have considerable affinities with extant many extant Sahulians to the partial exclusion of all other extant humans by Adcock et al. _____________________

Two taxa can have viral endogenous code in the same location from HGT or introgression. Not just from a shared common ancestor. Sent from Mail for Windows

At least 80% of endogenous viral genes in Pan and Homo are shared. Pan and Homo are about 99% the same genetically, and about 5% of the genome of each is endogenous virus. So 80% sharing of endogenous

Especially in Africa, virus often move between only distantly related primates. Vitus coming into other great apes in Africa after they diverged from humans, from monkeys, does not suggest they must b

Mammals require semi isolation or isolation from parent groups to speciate, not long periods of time. Over all evidence suggests no human populations for the last 600ky have been very genetically isol

So far this is for the systematics of higher level taxa. It would not be for determining of primate taxa relationships to each other. These blocks of genes are almost always intolerant to large change

All of Homo is well evidenced by the fossil record to be the same biological species. Homo is a species not a genus. A very easy revision of Homo sapiens nobody will follow for some time still. I am r

We all come mostly from Homo erectus. Though we also have some ancestry from habilines and archaic pygmies which never passed through any Homo erectus grade. __________________________________________
