No, that's a crocodilian, in a zoo, after an injection mishap.

Do you intentionally avoid anything relevant to the topic?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedophilia "Pedophilia or
paedophilia (Commonwealth usage) is the primary or exclusive
sexual attraction of adults to prepubescent children. A person
with this attraction is called a pedophile or paedophile.[1]
The ICD-10 and DSM IV, which are standard medical diagnosis
manuals, describe pedophilia as a paraphilia and mental
disorder of adults or older adolescents, if it causes
clinically significant distress or impairment in social,
occupational, or other important areas of functioning. [4] The
term pedophile is also used colloquially to denote an adult
who is sexually attracted to young adolescents, especially
younger than the local age of consent,[2] as well as those
accused or convicted of child sexual abuse or child
pornography-related offences."

tends toward gratuitous insults, often as the sole content of
his newsgroup posts, and continually reposting the same,
non-responsive, paragraphs (earning him the nickname
"macro-man" after the usual technique for doing that), and,
starting from his very first online post in 1998, comparing
his position to Wegener, Galileo, etc. These methods certainly
don't help his argument, instead placing his online newsgroup

Since when do injections into crocodilians have anything to do
with Sci.Anthro.Paleo???

Pictures of hands sticking out of croc mouths have everything
to do with the wet ape's assertion that our hominid ancestors
evolved in an African waterside niche. Don't get it? Gosh, and
they drew you a picture, too.

I'll keep running if you promise to keep foraging those
African riverbanks. Whaddya say?

AFAIK most wild critters (rabbits, cobras) have an
immediate unfriendly reaction to receiving injections.
That's why treated baits and traps are typically used,
along with distance dart injections. The zoo vet apparently
did not do this.

I don't think there were any vets around before pastoralism
and domestication, but there were certainly baited traps,
snares, weirs which allowed our waterside ancestors to
dwell in choice seaside locales rather than mountaintops
and deserts.

Merely a response to monotonous tabloid tactics. Most vet
injuries are due to cattle and dogs, not crocs.

African Inland riverbanks? Our ancestral hominids weren't
African river dwellers AFAICT, they were very salt-dependent
(see genetic studies of African evolutionarily recent salt
retention and sweat reduction). Gona, Awash, Afar, etc. all
are near regions of high-salt. Crocs don't like much salt,
though they can handle brackish waters after surviving infancy
in freshwaters. Humans OTOH love salt in their food (except
fruits), as Mario has noted.

Alligator snapping turtles use baited traps to catch fish,
herons use baited traps to catch fish, humans use baited
traps to catch fish, all have strong association with
waterside foraging.

In South Africa, a kudu is an antelope, but in Sri Lanka, a
kudu is a fish trap.

iqudu = antelope (Khoisan) koedoe = antelope (Afrikaans) kudu
= antelope (English) kudu = fish trap (Sri Lanka)

elephantfish: brain proportionately larger than human ostrich:
brain smaller than its eyeballs

keep running after that kudu, carrying a club and a water bag
and a hand- axe and a hammer stone to keep it sharp ...

I'll let the ladies do that, thank you.

Page 96 Leakey gives a nice example of root-gathering Tindiga
women running after kudus and killing them with clubs. Most
know it is the female chimps that teach their young how to
crack nuts with a rock and strip a twig to use in termite
fishing. It is reasonable to assume it was the females of our
ancestors that were teaching the young to run after kudus and
kill them with weapons.

Yes, Travsky is too stupid apparently.

The question is, how long have fish traps been used? As long
as antelope snares? Before nets were developed?

10ka hunting and gathering people in Turkey-Fertile Crescent
were already building carved megalithic stone monument temples
moving 50 ton boulders IIRC. (Google Urfa.) Stone weirs
certainly were common at that time, in addition to box canyon
traps and swamp waterside ambushes. When were
wooden/bone/stone/bamboo fish traps first used? Unknown,
probably associated with the first primitive baskets, which
probably derived from daily woven nests, as seen constructed
by all great apes, both on the ground and in the tree tops,
and in humans via woven huts, yurts, coracles etc. DDeden

Ancient items made of material that readily perishes are
hard to find. They are most likely much older than the
oldest known.

They might be several hundred thousands of years old but I
doubt if the evidence can even prove 50,000.

Maybe 10,000 or so. You would need to get lucky in mucky
ground. ?8^)

Human ancestors were hominids (therefore ancestral), but not
all hominids were human ancestors.

Though they may have traveled along river corridors before the
development of nets, boats, I don't think they were
specialized river or riverside dwellers far from seacoasts
until dugouts and nets.

Hence, more recent then, and therefore of little relevance
evolutionarily speaking.
