Comments by "Taxtro" (@MrCmon113) on "Elaine Morgan says we evolved from aquatic apes" video.
@jayarava What kind of clown are you? Do you want me to send you a list of the adaptations to running in human biology? One of the most distinctive features in humans is sweating. I wonder how an aquatic animal profits from that. Or from springy joints at their feet. There is really not a single feature of our anatomy adapted to aquatic life and dozens adapted to walking on land.

I think the "antagonistic reaction" is due to her misleading people like you. Humans did roam costlines, but there is no evidence whatsoever that they "embarked on a path towards aquatic existence".

No one denies that humans roamed coastlines to collect shellfish. That has nothing to do with being aquatic.

Mate, there is plenty of monkeys, who naturally swim. Humans don't. Until very recently almost no one knew how to swim. That alone should debunk this "aquatic ape" stuff.

I would like it if Emilia Clarke was my girlfriend. The problem is that there is absolutely no reason to believe that this is the case.

@menilnug823 You have a cartoonish understanding of predation.

>why only humans would have lost their fur To run farther. >how infants can naturally swim They can't. Even grown humans cannot naturally swim. On the other hand many other monkeys do naturally swim. That alone should kill the "aquatic ape" theory. >how our brains grew so quickly that our necks could not support their weight for months What are you even talking about?

What utter bullshit.

@alex-fy3uu What is that supposed to mean? They could hardly be less "webbed".

You realize that Neanderthals were mostly hairless, right? So this argument is in direct contradiction with your hairless swimmer - argument.

No, humans were never semi-aquatic either.

Please tell me that you are joking.

@andromedadelux What? Humans need water? Perhaps cats were once aquatic, because mine drink water, too.
