Homo longi, aka ‘dragon man’, compared to Hylobates, the gibbon

Sunday, May 22, 2022 11:17

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

This is a quick experiment in Photoshop
turning the small real face of the extant gibbon, Hylobates (Fig 1), into the larger imagined face of Homo longi (Fig 1), from China. Earlier the large reptile tree (LRT, 2095 taxa) nested a series of transitional gibbons (Hylobates, Ardipithecus, Oreopithecus, Fig 2), basal to humans (Homo floresiensis, Homo erectus, Homo sapiens).

Figure 3. Several ape pedes, including ‘Homo’ naledi. Frame 2 abducts the pollex medially to more closely resemble ape feet. Note the lineup of the proximal metatarsals in ‘Homo’ naledi a in the three other apes. This is distinct from the inset of metatarsal 2 in humans, Oreopithecus and barely in Hylobates in figure 4.

Also note the small detail where metatarsal 2 meets tarsal 2.
In humans, Oreopithecus and barely in Hylobates (Fig 4), this joint is offset from the others due to the small size of tarsal 2. This makes the hinge here less flexible, better for walking. By contrast, in Australopithecus, ‘Homo’ naledi (Fig 3) and apes this tarsal 2 joint is not offset. It is aligned with the others, creating a flexible hinge at this part of the foot, better for climbing.

Video of several speakers (listed below) describing their heretical insights into the origin of humans.

YouTube video on “Origins of Genus Homo”
Several heretical hypotheses are expressed in this video. Several align with hypotheses presented here.

Australopithecus sediba was possibly convergent as a biped @ 5:24 by speaker Steven Churchill.
The ability to run bipedally (shared with gibbons), but attributed only to Homo @ 28:00 by speaker Daniel Lieberman.
Ranging, running @42:00 by speaker Herman Pontzer. Side note: The gracile gibbon lineage (Fig 2) is the most wide ranging lineage (Africa, Europe, China, SE Asia).
Primates burn half the calories for a mammal of the same size @49:45 Humans share food. Most other mammals and primates do not share. Gibbons do share.
