environment! And sweating is one hominid characteristic that we can agree
to, right?

nonsense... Don't you know, bk, that the most sweating mammals known are
furseals on land at air Tps of c 10°C? Very logical: where else is water +
sodium (= sweat) as abundant than at the coast?   By neglecting the facts
one can prove anything, even savannah sceanarios... Sad...

"When a heat lamp is focused on the naked flipper of a freshly killed seal,
the black epidermis soon begins to blister. Before it does so,
These are assumed to be secretions of the sweat glands."

Sigh. Inform a bit, my boy, instead of writing outdated nonsense. You still
live in the Middle Ages. Perhaps you start with, eg, TM Williams & GAJ
Worthy in AR Hoelzel ed.2002 "Marine mammal biology" Blackwell.

Still unable to find 1 argument against Hardy's hypothesis that a sea-side
life - wading, swimming, collecting coconuts, shellfish, turtles & turtle
eggs, bird eggs, crabs, seaweeds etc. - explains many human traits (absent
in our nearest relatives the chimps) a lot better than dry savanna scenarios
do: very large brain (but reduced olfactory bulb), greater breathing
control, well-developed vocality, extreme handiness & tool use, reduction of
climbing skills, reduction of fur, more subcutaneous fat, very long legs,
more linear body build, high needs of iodine, sodium & poly-unsaturated
fatty acids etc.  You must really be stupid to believe that we got
thermoactive sweating in the dry hot environments.

- The pope in Gallileo's time "saw" that the sun turned around the earth.
- Creationists "see" that species don't change.
- LLL "sees" that human ancestors lived in the savanna.
