8 *independent* facts show:
Pleistocene archaic Homo frequently dived for shellfish:

•Archaic Homo's tooth-wear was caused by "sand and oral processing of marine mollusks", Towle cs 2022 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ajpa.24500
•H.erectus s.s. fossilized (always?) in coastal sediments, e.g. Mojokerto amid barnacles & corals, Trinil amid edible Pseudodon & Elongaria, Sangiran-17 in "brackish marsh near the coast".
•Stephen Munro discovered sea-shell engravings made by H.erectus: Joordens cs 2015 Nature 518:228–231 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25470048/
•Ear exostoses (bony outgrowths of the ear-canal in H.erectus & H.neand.) develop after years of cold(er) water irrigation https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5696936/
•Pachyosteosclerosis is typically & exclusively seen in slow+shallow-diving tetrapods (de Buffrénil cs 2010 J.Mamm.Evol.17:101-120), e.g. erectus’ parietal bone is 2x as thick as in gorillas.
•Brain size in erectus (2x apes-australopiths) is facilitated by sea-food, e.g. DHA etc. in shellfish, cf Odontocetes & Pinnipedia.
•Pleistocene Homo even colonized overseas islands (Flores & later even Luzon) https://www.academia.edu/36193382/Coastal_Dispersal_of_Pleistocene_Homo_2018
•Homo’s stone tool use & dexterity is typical for shellfish-eaters like sea-otters etc.

Are the words simple enough??

I seek clarity.

If it is true that all animals, some only occasionally, go into water are not virtually all animals aquatic?

Why don't you skip all of that, because you really aren't making any sense. Just tell us in simple words what it is about aquaticism that would cause us to evolve our human characteristics?

My little little boy, please grow up!
You are miserably unable to give us 1 simple little argument why my scenario (my 2022 book) would be wrong:

Plate Tectonics -> Hominoid Splittings:
~30 Ma India in the Tethys Ocean approached S-Asia, this first formed island archipels, plenty of coastal forests (cf some parallels in Nasalis).
~25 Ma Catarrhini reaching these islands waded upright + climbed arms overhead in the branches above the swamp: aquarboreal Hominoidea.
~20 Ma India further underneath Asia split hylobatids (E) & other=great apes (W): both followed the N-Tethyocean coastal forests (E vs W).
~15 Ma the Mesopotamian Seaway Closure split pongids-sivapiths (E) & hominids-dryopiths (W: Medit.Sea + incipient Red Sea: swamp forests).
~8 Ma in Red Sea: N-Rift fm, followed by Gorilla -> Afar -> Praeanthr.afarensis Lucy etc.-> boisei -> today G.gorilla & G.beringei.
~5 Ma the Red Sea opened into the Gulf (Francesca Mansfield thinks caused by Zanclean mega-flood 5.33 Ma): Homo & Pan split:
– Pan went right: E.Afr.coastal forests -> S-Rift -> Transvaal -> Australop.africanus -> robustus (// Gorilla) -> today P.troglodytes & P.paniscus,
– Homo went left: S.Asian coasts (explaining the absence of African retroviral DNA in Homo) -> Java early-Pleist.H.erectus were shallow-divers for shellfish, rich in DHA = large brain: pachy-osteo-sclerosis, stone tools, shell engravings google "Joordens Munro" etc.etc.: mid- -> late-Pleist.: diving -> wading -> walking H.sapiens.

My little boy, if you can give 1 little objeciton to this scenario, I'd very much like to hear... :-DDD

Are you indeed totally incapable of realising that traditional paleo-anthropology before "waterside hominoids" is as wrong as tradtional geology was before "plate tectonics"??

Grow up!

Uh, okay. Here's my objection. It's not a scenario. It's a collective of disparate assertions that fail to explicate an engine of human communal selection.

You appear ignorant. From a taxonomic or zoological perspective, you seem to have no understanding of why hominids/humans are categorically distinct.

> Are you indeed totally incapable of realising that traditional paleo-anthropology before "waterside hominoids" is as wrong as tradtional geology was before "plate tectonics"??

Uh, what? I've always realized traditional PA is wrong. They too lack any kind of communal selection. They too present a lot of disparate just-so-story assertions.

I too realized the savanna tool-user hypothesis was blatant nonsense and that hominids--especially because of the deadly dry season--could only have resided in well watered garden habitat.

Unlike yourself, however, I realized that the predatory massacre implications of the deadly dry season was the engine of hominid communal selection.

Plate Tectonics caused Hominoid Splittings?
~25 Ma Arabafrica approaching Eurasia formed island archipels, plenty of coastal forests: cf some parallels in Nasalis:
Catarrhini reaching these islands waded upright + climbed arms overhead: aquarboreal Hominoidea.
~20 Ma hylobatids followed the N-Tethys ocean coasts -> SE.Asia.
~15 Ma the Mesopot.Seaway Closure split pongids-sivapiths (E) & hominids-dryopiths (W: Medit.Sea + incipient Red Sea):
pongids-sivapiths -> SE.Asia forced hylobatids higher into the trees -> brachiation.
~8 Ma in Red Sea: N-Rift fm, followed by Gorilla -> Afar -> Praeanthr.afarensis Lucy etc.-> boisei -> today G.gorilla & G.beringei.

It's not a scenario. It's mostly random assertions. Meaningless nonsense.

Kudu runner was miserably unable to give us 1 little objection... :-DDD

Plate Tectonics caused Hominoid Splittings?

Speciation in mammals = mostly allopatric?
islands, rivers, mountains, splitting or collapsing continents...
Atypical evolution is often seen on islands:
- Miocene Hominoidea?
- early-Pleistocene Homo?

~25 Ma Arabafrica approaching Eurasia formed island archipels, plenty of coastal forests:
Catarrhini reaching these islands began wading upright + climbing arms overhead = bipedal early Hominoidea, google "aquarboreal".
~20 Ma hylobatids followed the N-Tethys ocean coastal forests -> SE.Asia.
~15 Ma the Mesopotamian Seaway Closure split pongids-sivapiths (E) & hominids-dryopiths (W: Medit.Sea + incipient Red Sea):
pongids-sivapiths -> SE.Asia (forced hylobatids higher into the trees -> brachiation?).
~8 Ma in Red Sea: N-Rift fm, followed by Gorilla -> Afar -> Praeanthr.afarensis Lucy, aethiopicus, boisei... -> today G.gorilla & G.beringei.
~5 Ma the Red Sea opened into the Gulf (caused by Zanclean mega-flood 5.33 Ma? Francesca mansfield): Homo & Pan split:
–Pan went right: E.Afr.coasts ->S-Rift ->Transvaal ->Au.africanus, robustus, habilis... (// Gorilla) -> today P.troglodytes & P.paniscus,
–Homo went left: S.Asian coasts (cf absence of African retroviral DNA in Homo) ->Java, later Peking, S-Eurasia, Africa etc.:

There's no doubt:
early-Pleist.H.erectus in Java were shallow-divers for shellfish:
• Archaic Homo's atypical tooth-wear = caused by "sand & oral processing of marine mollusks", Towle cs 2022 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ajpa.24500
• H.erectus s.s. typically fossilized in coastal sediments, e.g. Mojokerto amid barnacles + corals, Trinil: Pseudodon + Elongaria edible shellfish, Sangiran-17 "brackish marsh near the coast".
• Stephen Munro discovered sea-shell engravings made by H.erectus, Joordens cs 2015 Nature 518:228–231 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25470048/
• Ear exostoses (H.erectus & H.neand.) develop after years of cold(er) water irrigation https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5696936/
• Pachy-osteo-sclerosis is only seen in slow+shallow-diving Tetrapoda (de Buffrénil cs 2010 J.Mamm.Evol.17:101-120), e.g. erectus’ parietal bone is 2x as thick as in gorillas.
• Brain size in erectus (2x apes/australopiths) is facilitated by aquatic foods, e.g. DHA docosahexaenoic acid in shellfish… cf. Odontocetes dolphins, Pinnipedia.
• Pleistocene descendants or relatives colonized islands far oversea: fossils Flores & Luzon https://www.academia.edu/36193382/Coastal_Dispersal_of_Pleistocene_Homo_2018
• Homo’s stone tool use & dexterity is typical for molluscivores, e.g. sea-otters.

Mid-Pleist.H.neand. had less pachy-osteo-sclerosis (diving parttime?), and fossilised at coasts & rivers:
did they seasonally follow the Rhine-Neander, Meuse etc. inland? salmon trek??

Late-Pleist.H.sapiens diving -> wading -> walking (+ some slow running... :-D).

Google "Verhaegen Bonne English"

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/b07v2ysg David Attenborough "The Waterside Ape"

The connection between Plate Tectonics & Hominoid Splittings is hypothetical, but firmly based on data.
And nobody found any objections to this scenario. :-)

In any case, the savanna fantasy is the most incredible nonsense thinkable:
some morons reasoned: apes=Africa=forest=quadruped, "hominin"=biped = outside Afr.forest = savanna... :-DDD
