You conventional paleoanthropologists have no hypothesis.  
You haven't had one for quite some time now.  For the 
longest time you've been trying to claim that bipedalism 
has something to do with a locomotory advantage and that 
human intellect and consciousness has something to do 
with some vague tool-using scenario.  You've always 
dismissed the fact that this involves putting tools in 
the hands of chimps millions of years before they could 
possibly have had the intellectual development to do much 
of anything useful with them.  Now you can't even do this.  
You have nothing.  You have no explanation for the 
selective origins of human communalism, territorialism, 
communicative abilities, cooperation, intellect.  And 
when anybody makes reference to these shortcomings you 
make vague reference to, "the primary literature," and 
pretend not to notice that the primary literature is 
equally inept in this regard.  

You have nothing but pretense and pretense won't last 
for ever.
