Troy, I know of no one, except you, who has called the known hominid
fossils as "AAT fossils". As far as I know, even Morgan herself hasn't
stated such a thing. The hominid fossils in the collections of the world,
except for the new discovery of A. ramadus, have all been classified as
terrestrial bipeds. If any of them _was_ classified as an aquatic hominid,
it would have appeared in a science journal stating this, not to mention in
a plethura of popular magazines from _Time_ to _Weekly Reader_.
Where on earth do you get your information?
