/* Bioko island postulated to be the aquatic location */ Corrected link to Krill 2020

I tried to add this section to the page, but it was automatically removed. It seems that I need some sort of discussion to prove to the robot that this is not vandalism. Can someone help me with this?

Bioko island postulated to be the aquatic location

Bizarre creatures sometimes evolve on islands, a phenomenon known as the island syndrome. Geology professor Allan Krill recently suggested that humans evolved by peripatric speciation on a barren volcanic island, in a scenario similar to that of the Galapagos Marine iguana. The chimpanzee-human last common ancestor may have accidentally rafted to proto-Bioko island of western Africa. As with the iguana, these arboreal animals may have been stranded with no forest foods, and their exclusively marine diet and semiaquatic habitat resulted in unique anatomical changes. Bioko has a rainy climate with neither strong sun nor cold nights, so body fur would not be as necessary there. Bioko has no large predators, so primates evolving into vulnerable humans could survive there without inventing weapons. Beaches on Bioko are visited by many sea turtles each night during much of the year, so turtle eggs and meat could have been shared by blubbery semiaquatic humans without tools or fire. Plentiful marine food may have supported large coastal populations, as with the marine iguana. Dense habitation may have led to self-domestication and Proto-Human language. Some hominins may have left Bioko and invented clothing, tools, and fire, that were necessary elsewhere. Because the warm humid climate of western Africa causes bones to decay rapidly, no mammal fossils have ever been reported from Bioko or any areas inhabited by chimpanzees or gorillas. Therefore there is no fossil evidence for chimpanzee or gorilla evolution, or for an early human presence on Bioko. If there was an average population of 10,000 semiaquatic humans on Bioko for 5 million years, this would be one billion people. The corpses of the 200 people who would have died each year could have been buried respectfully in the sea. Genetics might be able to test the Bioko hypothesis. Complementing the recent African origin of modern humans it seems possible that Neanderthals and early modern humans came directly from Bioko while it was connected to the mainland by a Pleistocene land bridge.

COI

Do you have A wp:COI with the works of A G Krill?Slatersteven (talk) 16:52, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for asking about potential conflicts of interest. Transparancy is important, which is why my user name is not anonymous. I think that I have no conflicts of interest and have no COI page. It might seem that I am trying to promote myself when I write «Geology professor Allan Krill suggested ...». But that is clearly the style of the other paragraphs in the section «Related academic and independent research». I am fully funded as a tenured professor and I write about my academic interests. I expect no academic or economic returns for exposure on wikipedia. I am not looking for fame or fortune but am continually trying to understand and solve problems in science, geology, and human evolution. Krillaa (talk) 07:18, 27 July 2021 (UTC)

So you are A G Krill.Slatersteven (talk) 14:02, 27 July 2021 (UTC)

You need to also read wp:spa, so far all you have done is try and push your theory.Slatersteven (talk) 14:04, 27 July 2021 (UTC)

wp:or

I suggest you read wp:or we can't "think for ourselves" policy says we go with what RS say. That means if RS do not care neither do we. (I also suggest you read wp:soap). Also implying that we do not have minds is a wp:npa (you might want to read WP:NOTDUMB). At this stage, I feel you are now edging close to (if not already well over) wp:tenditious as it is clear you do not have consensus.Slatersteven (talk) 09:48, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
