Saw tonight on TV with Alan Alda talking to Mary Marzle of Arizona State

Univ (spelling) in Scientific American Frontiers. She had the fossil
bone
replicas of Lucy which is approx 3.2 million years old.

Orrorin is approx 6 million years old.

I thought Mary was going to talk about the elbow region for throwing.
For when last visited this topic I was focused on the medial epicondyle
as the likely signature for stonethrowing as the Pickford femur
signature for bipedalism. But instead Mary focused on the bones near the
knuckles of the fingers. I forgotten
what they are called.

It was mentioned that aped do throw stones but they are underarm
throwing.

So I wonder if those finger bones near the knuckles are important as to
whether you throw overarm or underarm?

I am guessing that no finger or elbow or arm bone fossils of Orrorin
have
ever been found.

As I remarked in my last several posts, that the most important project
for anthropology science is to have a worldwide conference where
everyone with
hominid fossils analyze and compare the Stonethrowing ability of their
specimens.

If I am correct, then the path from ape to human was the path of ever
increasing
Stone and Rock Throwing. The behaviour of stonethrowing created
bipedalism
and further advances in the behaviour of stonethrowing would lead
directly to the human species. I would say the science of anthropology
is a science that is 90% about one thing--- Throwing behaviour of rocks
and stones.

Anthropology science has never held a conference where the theme is
Stonethrowing and a comparison of all specimen fossils found to date.
There should be. Perhaps Alan Alda can organize that and by doing so
would highly
accelerate progress and advance in that science.
