Anyone ever heard of aquatic ape hypothisis?
Its an idea that there's some ancestor of human that more or less started to go the way of the whale, becoming aquatic rather then terestrial and then something /else/ made us stop
there was a chance we could have been mermaids ya'll evolution why
If I remember correctly, aquatic ape theory has been wideky disproven on a number of bases. But I do remember how absolutely enchanted I was with the idea first time I'd heard it in an uncontested fashion. The idea of a society of water people is still so captivating and has definately fueled a bit of my own inspiration (esp as of late).
woah that's depressing
