Look moron, I realise that you can't read, but I did not formulate a
new hypothesis about human evolution.
If you can't read, I can recommend a good elementary school for you to
attend.

If you weren't such a moron, you would have the guts to explain what

Bonobos opt to share their food

One of our closest primate relatives, the bonobo, has been shown to
voluntarily share food, scientists report.
This sort of generous behaviour was previously thought by some to be
an exclusively human trait.
But a team has carried out an experiment that revealed that bonobos

Not at all. The fact that scientists *think* that their purpose is
the conception and testing of more new ideas does not prevent them
from being less open to radically new ideas than to ideas which are
closer to their accustomed ways of thinking.

The relevance to sci.lang is that some other people have assumed that
the symbols are likely to be linguistic in nature. I do not assume
that my proposal is necessarily correct, so I posted to sci.lang in
order for there to be discussion (or at least thought) as to whether
they are linguistic, arithmetical, or some other kind of symbol.

It is hard to think of a more puerile suggestion than this one about
Maxwell's equations. If prehistoric children were being taught
mathematics in a cave, they would not be taught advanced mathmatics
that had not been invented/discovered yet. The combination of using

Arboreality has allowed for the evolution of increased longevity in mammals
MR. Shattuck, SA Williams 2010 PNAS 107:4635-9
The evolutionary theory of aging predicts that spp will experience delayed
senescence & increased longevity when rates of extrinsic mortality are
reduced.
It has long been recognized that birds & bats are characterized by lower

False premise.
False statement. Standard AAH savannah straw man argument.
Not it isn't, it's the same discredited guff as Algis tries to
promote. It has been clearly established that wading in shallow water
does not force bipedal wading.
