I find it very interesting that LB1, in tiger-free Flores Island, appears to have the same habit/morphology depicted in the article as the likely ancestral...
Reading this Wikipedia entry on the Toumai specimen (Sahelanthropus tchadensis,) one can easily see that OOTI better explains the puzzling aspects of this...
Actually, I should have said, "...with the bulk of human ancestry stemming from later OOTI radiation(S,)" as there is morphological evidence (in my opinion)...

Mario, Perhaps of interest regarding AAT and OOTI (which appear to deal with some of the same questions and data,) Toumai was discovered at what appears to...
... I didn't read about OOTI. It has something with islands, I presume. I don't believe in scenarios which involve isolation for it to work. Island fauna...
Mario, OOTI (Out of the Islands, specifically the SE Asian islands,) is an attempt on my part to reconcile a bunch of data which otherwise seems to conflict,...
Dan, Thanks for the links to Lake Chad. Is there a possibility that Lake Chad was once connected (through rivers or so) to the sea (Med?)? OOTI = out of the...
Hello Marc, ... You're welcome. ... I don't know. I haven't found anything to indicate that, but it's possible. There are tributaries leading to Lake Chad...
Marc, Another aspect of OOTI is, it appears to be the most parsimonious way (that I'm aware of) to explain the morphological features of LB1. LB1 is like...
Marc, A few more points. As others have noted, gorilla and chimp knuckle- walking is unlikely to be the ancestral state. Interestingly, orangutans and...
Note, I forwarded my responses to the Paleoanthro group. Someone there is currently trying to prevent my posting further on these topics. Here is his...
In case anyone's interested, here's the complete quote from old Albert: "Great spirits have always encountered opposition from mediocre minds. The mediocre...
... For the record, I describe OOTI as a set of hypotheses, not as a theory. It's too early for it to be a theory, but if the trend keeps up (of emerging...

Philip posted this long and obtuse message (see below,) to which I responded: "I call 'gross misconstrual.' You must know, Philip, that I never said LB1 was...
