The aquatic ape hypothesis was never crazy

It is good that you are fighting the good fight becomes you conspiracy guys are the only ones who know the truth right?

Imagine, all those geologists, anthropologists, paleontologists, paleoclimatologists, sedimentologists, anatomists, geneticists, geophysicists and general Biologists colluding in such a dastardly manner to withhold the truth?

That has happened before. I hope it's herd stupidity.

I wonder how they were persuaded to participate? All at the same time? Over every fossil find then keep up the conspiracy over the decades?
Did they e-mail them all on the same day do think? BCC? Obviously snail mail or telegram before that right?
Who led the conspiracy, Bill Gates again?
Impressive, 100s of thousands of scientists, technicians, support staff, PhD students, post Docs, lectures, professors, readers, Museum curators and other government funded research projects and workers all just signing up like that.

Still, they did not get one over on you did they?

Naledi ain't the only Pan in the archive. And Paranthropus robustus ain't the only Gorilla either. You can't study yourselves, sapiens. You don't really want to know what you are.

So a seaside diet of marine fish and shellfish is correllated with extinction. :p (jk)

Weird exaptation to mammalian intelligence, init? A batch of apes becomes really, really smart from eating oysters for two million years, and then they start switching to hunting terrestrial big game using that big brain, after which that brain gradually starts to dwindle back down, losing roughly 100cc of average volume over the next 40,000 years, while later still being capable of inventing terrestrial agriculture, which only accelerated their loss of brain from no longer having full diet access to the same amount of the nutritional building blocks needed to upkeep it.
Now with lesser brain but with their simian aggressive mating behavior still fully intact, some horny male finally invents the damn fission bomb! Nice use of your brain, "sapiens". And if that don't annihilate you, this the peak of evolution, this the master race, it will be you burning too much fifty million year old fossil carbon dioxide into your planet's atmosphere until your precious water-bug fueled brain can no longer fully concentrate above 600ppm, 'cause inside of just 200 years those fossils were so wonderfully profitable, and the fertile females were always something to be bought by those aggressive males in the name of excessive procreation. You getting that brain is out right causing the sixth mass extinction on Planet Earth, yours included.

Science sure is a cruel mistress, in'she? Who knows what more interesting shit you might find out, if you'd finally stop pissing on that irritating peasant Elaine Morgan's grave? How in the fuck were hers ever "obvious" pseudoscience? How the fuck dare you?!

"More to the point, we now face a world in which sources of DHA – our fish stocks – are threatened. That has crucial consequences for our species. Without plentiful DHA, we face a future of increased mental illness and intellectual deterioration. We need to face up to that urgently. That is the real lesson of the aquatic ape theory."
– Michael Crawford

If only we could let a certain method decide all of this neutrally. Except that's when you reach for the pitchforks too.

Just like they did with Galileo and Einstein! You are as brilliant, and as persecuted, as them; a tragic figure in a sea of mediocrity, where none can see your brilliance.

Again, thoughts and prayers.
 
I read the book a long time ago. The part wherein women lost their body hair and developed more subcutaneous fat because they stood in rivers catching fist seemed a tad peculiar. However: wandering along the shore taking advantage of ready food supplies---(It don't take much speed to outrun mollusks) and a safe place to retreat when one sees a predator---all makes sense. And then, we have the middens.

Yeah, keep diverting attention away from Morgan. We mustn't talk about her

No we can talk about her, what about her? Was she qualified in science? Has she published in a respected palaeoanthropology journal? Are her views now:

- Widely accepted
- Fringe
- Widely discredited and or dismissed

What was that about appeal to authority? The scientific method is just not enough, is it? Thrasymachus reigns.

Wow.


CE: "Haha we mustn't talk about Morgan! Haha"
PB: "OK, let's talk about Morgan."
CE: "Nooooo!" :lobs conspiracy crap to fill the gaping silence:

What a joke.

You can make vacuous insults; they only look bad on you. You have no idea about my medical regimen, so it's just an empty playground insult.

I didn't make anything up, or resort to an ad hom. All I had to do to make you look the fool is quote you.

Yeah, it's fun to dish out, but not taking it, init? So much fun to insinuate that I ought to be locked up and pumped full of psychotropics, until somebody truly nuts stomps my skull in to finally shut me the fuck up. It was Semmelweis' own fault too, 'cause he dared to question the established "gentlemen", telling them to just wash their fucking hands so they didn't kill all them babies. What the fuck do I actually do to deserve all these continuous insults from you pompous ignorant twits, who can't even be bothered to read the fucking abstracts? So you would be old beach apes, so fucking what?
