I read years ago about the "aquatic ape theory". Basically human physiology dictates that at some point in our evolution we lived in the sea for an extended period. Some "aquatic hominid's" eventually left the sea and became homo sapien, others who stayed in the seas became the live bearing sea mammals. This subject is like global warming, maybe a hoax, but nevertheless, unprovable.

Whether or not one accepts evolution or creationism, it is interesting.

I saw a program advancing the aquatic ape theory. One of the more interesting facts cited was that body hair on humans lies in a hydrodynamic direction, while on apes, it sticks straight out of the skin. Also, they noted that there wasn't really a natural change in the hip that would allow the full upright posture. As you say, interesting, but unprovable.
