So, back in the stone age, people lived by this lake off crustaceans and
fish. Next question. when did hominids start doing this?
And of course, this site is an example of the data being spun by the
fact that the shells survive in the middens much more reliably than
bones do.
If hominids hunt on the savannah, then they have the weapons to defend
at camp by a waterhole. And while there, of course, they'll eat whatever
is handy.
this report mentions the seasonality of the original ecosystem, which
fits with the skull found in Chad that was several million years older.
I dont claim to know how much hominids depended on the savannah. All I
have to go by are report like this of hominid accupation. I can see how
trying to find the traces out on the grassland would be harder. However,
this site proves early man relied on aquatic resources, so dismissing
the earlier aquatic hominids from the lifestyle is not tenable.
