Start a school report this way — “Apes are aquatic mammals ...” and see what the teacher thinks.

[ArtDodger]

Never heard of Elaine Morgan but Desmond Morris discussed this back in the 60s.

[KingLudd]

Any good biologist would have said, “Marine mammals,” not aquatic mammals.

[ComputerGuy]

Being aquatic is the reason we’re mostly hairless, according to some.

[AndyJackson]

Viewed as a new version of evolution, it doesn’t really work. Viewed as a theory of human adaptation, it is the best theory that has ever been put forward,

Adaptation is evolution.

[ganeemead]

Humans are aquatic or at least semi-aquatic mammals; monkeys and apes are not and hominids like the Neanderthal were not.

The most common images of Neanderthals that you see in magazines and journals are basically false info, the Neanderthal having become a kind of a poster child for a woke pseudo-religion.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

This thread is USELESS without pictures... ;)

[ganeemead]

Adaptation is MICRO-evolution, which is believable. The theory of evolution is about MACRO-evolution, which is not believable.

[Carl Vehse]

So according to this fairy tale, humans came from Ganymede.

Well, hey, Kal-El came from Krypton.

And Marvin came from Mars.

When you can’t think of anything intelligent to say, there is always the option of remaining silent...

[gundog]

That’s pre-internet thinking....

Given the verbal excretions of Traitorjoe, KJP, Kamalamadingdong, the SecDefCompPoop, other Cabinet Secretaries, Fetterman, AOC, other Demonicrats and the enemedia, that advice seems only to be adhered to by the actual dead.

Any good biologist would have said, “Marine mammals,” not aquatic mammals.

The authoress deliberately chose the word "aquatic."

Maybe "littoral" would have been even more apt.

So..humans are chimp/dolphin hybrids, is that the working theory? :)

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Having a sense of smell no better than humans possess would be fatal for any land prey animal.

Humans actually have a great sense of smell. We just do not use it that much.

That is why Neanderthals were limited to thrusting spears while early humans had atlatls and javelins.

Nope.

[ganeemead]

"...is that the working theory?"

No.

[CodeToad]

Yet another retarded opinion.

[null and void]

The dead do raise their voices, to vote democrat!

Lake, estuary and river creatures are not marine.
