   The Rift Valley is precisely where any Eurasian species is going to   
   cross over to Africa. It's precisely where any Aquatic Ape species   
   is going to move inland. In fact, there was a species of manta ray   
   that did exactly that:  Followed the freshwater sources inland &   
   stayed, adapted. Yet everything is interpreted as going the other   
   way and NOT going the other way!   
      
   How old is the oldest chimp fossil? Do you even know?   
      
   It's about half a million years old, and we're only talking teeth.   
      
   Half a million... *Way* younger than erectus!   
      
   Conclusion:  Chimps are 6 to 20 million years old!   
      
   But if teeth are even definitive, if we can tell just by looking   
   at teeth, then Ardipithecus or Australopithecus was in Germany   
   10 million years ago!   
      
   Oldest monkey fossils? NOT EVEN FOUND IN EURASIA!  Monkeys are   
   known from the Americas, and diversified, by 35 million years ago!   
      
   Remember the Naledi idiocy?  It only took six years for something   
   to... look up.   
      
   That's the story, anyway, and they're going to stick to it...

   You're proving my point. Your CONCLUSION dictates your hunt for   
   evidence. Sometimes that can make sense but, this is not one of   
   those times.
