They are all money-making frauds who have found their niches in the marketplace, and now it is impossible for any of them to abandon not only what they do best, but the only job opportunity that is available to them.
Notice the position of the Foramen Magnum (FM). There is no fossil evidence that it moved from the rear to the center; it’s either center or rear. The spiral cord fits through it and fuses into the brain stem. So the spinal cord, brain stem, and the foramen would have to move as a unit.
Would be analogous to disconnecting the car steering wheel shaft from the linkage under the hood and drilling a hole in the center of the bulkhead, then placing the shaft through it, connecting it to the linkage in the original unmoved position. The point is the modification has to be intricately coordinated, can’t be any chafing of the cord against the FM, nor any misalignment to the brain stem which is located just on the inside the skull base. So where are the fossils? Where are the common ancestor fossils that were the progenitor to the Homo Sapien, and to the Homo Sapien, Sapien? After that’s shown, then show how the FM got to the center location from that of the common ancestor. All we get is rhetoric and hypotheticals; we want skulls.
Atheist Credo: A universe by chance that also just happened to admit the observer by chance.
You have your own skull. It drifted in your own lifetime.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
At work.
So basically Snowtracks wants a link to Aron Ra's videos that explain descent through the phylogenetic tree episodes or his other series focusing on hominid ancestry. That would seem to be the best place to find the concise and succinct description/explanation. Cheers. RE: Theists: What is your stance on evolution?

Wouldn't help. The only point of interest for anthropologists here is that the position is taken to be indicative of an upright walking habit. We start out the same way, and it's more accurate to say that the skull grows in proportion around the fm, and, ofc, to house that big ole brain. It should be noted that this does not all happen at once, as a unit, in our own lifetimes - so I'm not sure why there's any expectation of that.
Though it would be interesting to find a complete early human neonate. For comparison. It'd have to be pretty damned well preserved.

If the skull shape changed, the developing embryo would place the spinal cord in the freak'n hole. It isn't like a set of blueprints, where if one part changes, the rest just don't fit.

They should have been looking for examples of comparative anatomy through the fossil records at least. Cheers.
