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.

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.

This thread is USELESS without pictures... ;)

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

Well, hey, Kal-El came from Krypton.

And Marvin came from Mars.

[Mr. Jeeves]

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

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.

[CodeToad]

Yet another retarded opinion.

[Honorary Serb]

Neanderthals had throwing spears, too!!

They probably used thrusting spears when they worked better to kill huge prey species.

Homo sapiens were of course not aquatic mammals! We are close relatives of Neanderthals, and our genomes contain Neanderthal sequences!!

Cut the baloney!!
