OK. So we have at least one reason we can nibble on. [We can discuss
the others along with the other questions which you did not
answer when the time is ripe.]

So then what is the mainstream theory's explication of the
fossil gap? Are there no fossils from this era anywhere
on earth? If not, why are the "humanoid" fossils missing?

Where did they go?

What fossils would support AAT? Are we expecting digs in the ocean
or river beds or large lakes to reveal fossils of humanoids?

HOw would AAT make dispersion of humanoids more or less easy to
explain?
