The aquatic ape hypothesis was never crazy

[DaveC426913]

Yeah, it's fun to dish out, but not taking it, init?

I quoted your own words. You offered a vacuous playground ad hom.
One of these is a valid criticism; the other is a child's ploy.
I haven't been hurt by a child's ploy since I was a child.

So much fun to insinuate that I ought to be locked up and pumped full of psychotropics,

Who is doing this insinuating? (Are they here in the room with us now?)

until somebody truly nuts stomps my skull in to finally shut me the fuck up.

Nobody here wants you to shut TF up, let alone harm you in any way. You are projecting some very dark thoughts.

What the fuck do I actually do to deserve all these continuous insults...

As has been pointed out numerous times, you set the tone for the thread. We asked for a cogent argument, ideally distinct from invective, but you couldn't help yourself.

You got exactly what you came here for. Stop whining about it.

You're not even reading the abstracts.

Like clockwork. Now you want to be cogent. I guess the coin toss landed heads up this post?

You can't unring the trolling bell.

You have no fucking idea.

Yep. Only you are free of the chains of ignorance that bind everyone else. Just like Galileo!

Elaine Morgan was eligible for the Darwin-Wallace Medal, while she was still alive.

And now her ideas, actually Hardy's, have been dismissed by the scientific community.

No, that's what's so damn bizarre. They haven't.

"During the last few years, when I have found myself in the company of distinguished biologists, evolutionary theorists, paleoanthropologists and other experts, I have often asked them to tell me, please, exactly why Elaine Morgan must be wrong about the aquatic theory. I haven't yet had a reply worth mentioning, aside from those who admit, with a twinkle in their eyes, that they have also wondered the same thing."
— Dan Dennett, "Darwin's Dangerous Idea", 1995

But they don't even tell you the savannah hypotheses have been declared dead, dead, dead for thirty years. Paleoanthropology is a very strange academic field. There's so much the cardinals don't want to say out loud too often. Neanderthals being smarter than you, all that shit. 'Cause then you just start screaming like panicky monkeys again.

 

[CEngelbrecht]

The world sure is an evil place all of a sudden, isn't it? He ain't even trying to make it credible.
That's exactly why creationists will drag us back into the Dark Ages and burn Darwin's books. You weren't no fucking different from them, as soon as that tiny idea became inconvenient to you. Then you just shoved the method. And that was all you had against them.

Well, reputable geophysicists, astronauts and astronomers have not explained why Mark Sargent is wrong about his theories, either. So there are two possibilities:

1) He's right and the Earth is flat or
2) None of those people want to waste their time explaining why a flat Earther is wrong.

They most definitely have.

All those false associations really aren't working out for you. Why are you so eager to never talk about water and human evolution?

 

[CEngelbrecht]

Americans refused to accept election fraud hitting them too. And that's why it happened.

Evil prevails. You deserve to go extinct.

 

[Pinball1970]

Ok well I am sure you have recent publications, from a peer reviewed paper, in a respected Life sciences Journal that showcases the evidence for AAH.
Cite them and we will read them.

You clearly haven't so far in this thread. You just keep pretending all that don't even exist.

 

[Pinball1970]

Haven't what? I am not making any claims. Our ancestors clearly were arboreal African apes who migrated over land to Europe and Asia, that is a fact.

You're asking for publications. Despite this thread being full of them quoted since page 1. And you just pretending they don't even exist. Still trying to silence it all to death. And it just ain't working.

No, they migrated along the coasts of Southern Asia. That's why sapiens end up in Indonesia long before the Chinese river basins. Keep up!

They were arboreal and now WE are not.
There is ZERO evidence that the AAH from any part of human history.
How did they disperse from Africa? Exactly? That is a point of active research that I have already pointed out
The AAH adds nothing to that argument.

And then there's reality.

The dispersal of Homo sapiens across southern Asia: how early, how often, how complex?

So much more to discover out of this. And you refuse to even accept it was never crazy.

You deserve Trump.

 

[DaveC426913]

Well, I am done with this crazy thread and its crazy proponents and their crazy ideas.

They were never crazy. Fifty years of repeating that lie like a mantra haven't made it any less false. And there's nothing you can do about it. You're old beach apes, of course you are. Now go take a long ass bath and prepare for the war, sapiens.
