Parsimony is a virtue in science, but not in paleoanthropology 2 messages
In science, the favored interpretation is the one that is the most simple, but still fits the evidence at hand. More complicated explanations are always possible, but are less acceptable. This princip

Paleohumans were mostly marine
Paleohumans, including Denisovans and Neanderthals with ear exostoses ( https://groups.io/g/anthropogeny/message/217 ) , probably lived mostly on marine foods. Sea levels have risen about 120 meters (

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 Paleohum

Universal grammar and the Bantu expansion in Africa

No one wants a ‘Garden of Eden model’ for human evolution
Human evolution in a special place is a model that scientists try to avoid. It’s like thinking that humans came from another planet. But all the evidence points to that. Humans have weaker muscle fibe

Paleoanthropologists ‘pull their punches’ to get published
As a geologist with much experience finding fossils, I am certain that Lucy is a hoax, analogous to Piltdown Man ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piltdown_Man ) : Graduate student Tom Gray planted fake

Examples of kayfabe in paleoanthropology
To better understand what goes on behind the scenes in paleoanthropology, read about kayfabe on Wikipedia. Here I will point out some clear examples of kayfabe in this remarkable science. Happisburgh

Pro wrestling and paleoanthropology are designed and maintained for public consumption. They have rules and practices that ensure their continued existence and success. In 1989, due to a legal court c

Prehistoric people in arctic Norway probably ate a lot of fish
It's amazing that people managed to live in Alta a few thousand years ago. It's cold and dark in the winter: the sun sets on November 25, and doesn't rise again until January 17 ( https://weatherspark

Research article published today: French cave tells new story about Neanderthals, early humans
A cave 140 km north of the Mediterranean Sea was occupied at different times by Neanderthals and Sapiens, about 50 000 years ago. I think it was probably only used during the warm summer months, by pe

Bronze Age (ca. 3000 years old) rock-art near Trondheim probably shows marine food resources (not footprints)

Here's where I think most Stone Age Europeans (Neanderthals and Sapiens) spent the winter
The light blue coastal areas on this map, along the northern shore of the Mediterranean Sea are just below present sea level, but were mostly exposed when the sea was low during the Stone Age. During

More details on rafting models for the origins of Gorilla, Pan, and Homo.
We know that rafting has been important in primate speciation. New World Monkeys originated from Old World Monkeys that must have rafted from Africa to South America. Lemurs must have originated from

Blubber and steatopygia, as depicted in 25,000-year-old Venus figurines, were probably common traits of Stone Age women
We should reconsider the meaning of the Venus figurines, which have so far been a bit of a mystery. There are hundreds of them, many about 25,000 years old. Most are female figures, with lots of subcu
