TED Talks - Elaine Morgan says we evolved from aquatic apes
I remember reading Morgan more than ten years ago - didn't know she was still around. To the best of my knowledge, the aquatic ape hypothesis had been disproved or at least had failed to offer any real evidence. Maybe things have changed. Seems people are allowing for the possibility if not the reality.
Elaine Morgan is a tenacious proponent of the aquatic ape hypothesis: the idea that humans evolved from primate ancestors who dwelt in watery habitats. Hear her spirited defense of the idea -- and her theory on why mainstream science doesn't take it seriously.
