• This forum is specifically for the discussion of factual science and technology. When the topic moves to speculation, then it needs to also move to the parent forum, Science Fiction and Fantasy (SF/F).

    If the topic of a discussion becomes political, even remotely so, then it immediately does no longer belong here. Failure to comply with these simple and reasonable guidelines will result in one of the following.
    1. the thread will be moved to the appropriate forum
    2. the thread will be closed to further posts.
    3. the thread will remain, but the posts that deviate from the topic will be relocated or deleted.
    Thank you for understanding.​

Cool! It would seem odd if all human ancestors evolved in one part of Africa, going all the way back. Drifting around the world makes more sense.

Well, these guys drifted in with all that Anthropoid molar goodness onto a continent where such advanced arborealists had never been seen. And they had some 10 million years to explode toward Lesser ape levels of brachiating brilliance.
