Ditto post #418

I've given no strawman defense and I also have actually answered some of your questions.
Does nothing to change the fact that you're arguing from a point of incredulity and when people actually answer your questions, you respond with asinine strawman questions like your "Oh! What about the lions!? Wouldn't they be scary? Why would apes go into the grassland if they're there?"

You guys need to get out of the theory you've bought into, a little anyway, and just think.

Still won't change the fact that you're arguing from a point of incredulity and are being massively dishonest in your questioning.

Two dumbs and two dishonests, plus incredulity a couple times... I must have struck a chord.

You are really not helping anyone think that you're not being dishonest with this sort of talk.

When did 'why' become a dirty word? Get out of the books some.

You asked the 'why' and people answered the 'why'. Then you just get adding "But what if..." to the 'why' and it was clear your were just shifting the goal-posts.

You're not looking for an honest answer, otherwise you'd have accepted what you've been told and moved on.

You accepted what you were told... and now you can't even ask why? Sad.

What is your problem with the suggestions you've been given?
I have observed a lot of animals in the wild, and the proposed steps you suggest seem counter to natural instinct. What is your problem with that?

I'll repeat what I said, since you seemed to just ignore fully what I wrote, and I'll highlight the relevant point.:

And this is just a clear argument from incredulity. You cant imagine it happening, so it can't have happened.

Accept... no; move on... probably should.

I don't know yet - in what way do you find scavenging to be counter to natural instinct?

The part about not going home when you're done scavenging.

Nomadic animals are already home.

You should ask Savanna Chimps why they don't go back to the Rainforest. We are studying them to get a better understanding of why our ancestors decided to spread out.
