Re: Humans have 46 chromosomes. Chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans all have 48.
The '46-fix' probably originated in one mutant chimpanzee, and punctuated the speciation of humans.
Chromosome differences are associated with marked differences in physical traits. A typical example

Re: For the past two decades, CARTA has been asking "Where did we come from? How did we get here?"
(Dec. 20, 2022 edit: CARTA has now added the Bioko paper to their list of publications.)
It's clear that CARTA doesn't want to mention my possible answers to their questions Where did we come from?

My ideas of chimpanzee-to-human evolution in western Africa are being avoided
Paleoanthropologists don't want my ideas, and neither do Waterside-apers. Their denial has some advantages—I can work on these ideas at my own pace, without anyone taking away my project.

"More than half of the world's species of plants and animals are found in the rainforest."
"The great diversity in rainforest species is in large part the result of diverse and numerous physical refuges, i.e. places in which plants are inaccessible to many herbivores or in which animals can

Something bizarre happened about 6 million years ago
Let's talk about why apes and humans speciated, not just when they speciated. The human primate is bizarre, and probably speciated due to bizarre selection pressures. See my post 223

Genomes of Bioko animals might someday 'prove' the Bioko-hypothesis
The continental-drift hypothesis was ridiculed and ignored for decades (see krilldrift.com) until advanced paleomagnetic technology suddenly proved it. Likewise, the aquatic-ape hypothesis has been

No 'Asian caveman' ever looked like this ...
With his neatly trimmed hair and beard, this 'Asian caveman' is made to resemble a chimpanzee. But cavemen didn't have electric hair clippers to cut their head hair and beard in this way.

Re: Wikipedia page on AAH, wants you to know it is 'pseudoscience'.
My paragraph on the Bioko hypothesis was posted on Wikipedia for a few hours. Then it was removed by the editors, who think the Aquatic Ape Hypothesis is pseudoscience, and want to keep it that way.

Humans have lost the estrus signals used by all non-human primates
Chimpanzees, gorillas, and all other non-human primates have signals of sight and/or smell that indicate estrus — the time for successful mating. Marine mammals do not have these estrus signals.

Chimpanzee skin color is neither dark nor light
Most people seem to think that humans evolved with dark skin in sunny Africa. Then, when paleohumans migrated out of Africa, they evolved lighter skin, which was selected for by the need to produce

Re: Parsimony is a virtue in science, but not in paleoanthropology
No one wants to cast doubt on a $uccessful theory.
I recently paid Alta Museum $14 to view the spectacular rock art on the smooth sandstone rocks near the fjord. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site.

The most recent Bioko land bridge and the Recent-out-of-Africa event both began about 70,000 years ago
From sea depths in the Gulf of Guinea (easily available on Google Earth) we see that a land bridge between Bioko and mainland Africa would emerge whenever sea levels drop to about 60 meters below the

Why did Neanderthals die out?
In the Bioko model, all Homo species (including Homo erectus, H. denisovan, H. neanderthalensis, and H. sapiens) were paleohumans that evolved fro chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) that had become trapped

Financial interest trumps parsimony in paleoanthropologic interpretations...

Paleohumans were mostly marine
Paleohumans, including Denisovans and Neanderthals with ear exostoses, probably lived mostly on marine foods. Sea levels have risen about 120 meters in the past 18,000 years, so most of the coastlines

Human prehistory probably began with a few Marine Chimpanzees, and then thousands of Marine Paleohumans
I now agree with Michel Odent that we probably evolved from 'Marine Chimpanzees', and my term 'Marine Ape' is less appropriate.
I will now try using the terms 'Marine Chimpanzees' and 'Marine
