Keep your chin up! Darwinism was not accepted over-night. There appears to be more sense in  the  AAT origins, than the sort-cut hypothesis that our  ancestors went from swinging in trees to the prairies (and then, eons later, take up a sedentary life style so they could edit Wikipedia and face book etc., all day). One only has to watch little kids on the beach.  The first time a wave throws them bottom-over-elbow they may well cry – but after a time,  they can't wait to get into the water again. It is as if  being at home on a sea-edge environment is hard-wired into their genes.  Unfortunately, the rise in sea level since these times means that evidence of these coastal communities may never be found.  Keep plugging away until the old hypothesis fade away.
