WHAT Talk #08 - Erika Schagatay on Man's Place Among the Diving Mammals
The "lesson" that humans evolved on the dry Savannah is not taught all over the World. Even within ROoA the hypothesis has serious troubles, such as the only known Homo erectus torso being built for s

Molecular phylogenies map to biogeography better than morphological ones
They assume from the start molecular phylogenies are superior. They test nothing. The initial divergence predictions of molecular biology for chimps and humans is proven wrong by the fossil record. Th

Homo denisova
Homo sapiens (altaiensis) is correct though geneticists do not always support the publication as a taxa.

Ticks, Hair Loss, and Non-Clinging Babies
Aquatic mammals with hair usually have little hair that does not affect much or hair of types which keep the skin dry. Hominids do not have the type of hair which can keep the skin dry.

Zinjanthropus afarensis->boisei
Land is rising and falling over time same as sea levels. If you find marine deposits you know the ocean was there at that time and place. Predicting when Islands were connected to Mainlands is tricky

Nasopharyngeal morphology contributes to understanding the “muddle in the middle” of the Pleistocene hominin fossil record
The muddle in the middle is a muddle in the same sense as the fantasy taxa modern humans and AMHs (Wolpoff noted these are fantasy taxa). Naming taxa with the assumption of the usually false linear ev

Bipedalism in humans
Extant great apes can adapt well to bipedalism. If bipedalism begins before adulthood primates osteology in general is rather plastic and can adapt to different modes of locomotion. Many mistakes were

Homo erectus (sensu stricto) the most aquatically adapted hominin?
Flores has been separated from Mainland Asia by deep water channels for at least 5 million years. There is no evidence Homo erectus ever reached Flores except one femur from Mata Menge of an individua
