I know this is just a small part of the original post, but this is what
caught my attention. Are you sure chimps and gorillas don't sweat? I was
under the impression they did. If they don't sweat, do they have some
comparable mechanism?

While I'm at it, here's another question. I haven't read about the AAT; I've
only followed some of the posts here. Why did the aquatic hominid return to
land? The AAT supporters argue that bipedalism is a terrible trait for
savannah life. So then why did the aquatic hominids move there, and why did
they survive?
