The Aquatic Ape Theory
This chapter discusses the Aquatic Ape Theory, which proposes that humans evolved from an ape stock that lived near the seashores and relied on the ocean for food. It explores the adaptations to an aquatic lifestyle, counterarguments to the theory, and the belief that bipedalism and tool use evolved as aids to aquatic activities.
