AAT group - "shore adaptations in the genus Homo"
-Human evolution based on comparative anatomy/physiology
-Littoral diaspora after Homo & Pan split ~5 Ma
-Comparative & fossil information on human/ape evolution
"AAT"
-Aquatic Ape Theory of human evolution (original term E.Morgan 1982)
-Aquarboreal Apes Theory of Mio-Pliocene apes (aqua=water, arbor=tree)
-Amphibious Ancestors Theory of Plio-Pleistocene Homo (AAT strict sense)
AAT s.s. is based on human behavior/anatomy/physiology/DNA compared to
chimps & living animals:
Waterside food collection (fruits/(coco)nuts, turtle/bird eggs,
shell/crayfish, water(side)plants, drowned bovids, stranded whales...)
explains unique Homo traits (not in apes/australopiths) better than forest
or plains dwelling: human brain, slow-diving skills, breath control, small
mouth & biting muscles, tongue bone descent, projecting nose, poor sense of
smell, handiness/tools, late puberty, alined head-spine-legs, flat feet, fur
loss, fatness, reduced climbing, profuse sweating, high needs of
water/sodium/iodine/poly-unsatur.FAs(DHA)... - features present in different
combinations in (semi)aquatic animals but strikingly absent in savanna
mammals.
After Homo & Pan split ~6-4 Ma, Homo populations spread along
lakes/shores/rivers in savannas & elsewhere, eg, crossed 18 km sea to Flores
0.8 Ma: tools/fossils 2.5-0.1 Ma are found near Rift valley lakes & even
(sea level fluctuations hindered fossilisation) Indian Ocean & African
coasts, often amid seashells: Mojokerto, Dungo V Baia Farta, Terra Amata,
Table Bay, Eritrea...

Thanks, my boy, AFAICS our group is by far the largest biologically
inspired
yahoo group on human evolution.
Except its not about human evolution.
