  As an ape who loves swimming and diving in heated pools, I can verify that this hypothesis holds water.

  I appreciate the focus on the distinction between hypothesis and theory, and the pointing out that flawed science isn&apos;t the same as pseudo-science

  When I was in college, I took an anthropology class, that I was totally acing, but after innocently asking my professor what he thought of the aquatic ape theory, he shut me down and wouldn&apos;t talk to me for the rest of the semester. &nbsp;No discussion, nothing, he just stonewalled me. &nbsp;I had only come across it a week earlier, via a book in the school library. &nbsp;This would have been about 1991. &nbsp;I was baffled and stuffed the concept away and I haven&apos;t given it any thought since, so I when I saw your video, I had to watch. &nbsp;I&apos;m so glad you&apos;ve taken it out to shine some light on it for me and for everyone. &nbsp;Your review is brilliant.

  The long-distance running and tracking ape makes more sense to explain why we&apos;re hairless and upright. Humans are actually the best distance runners out of any animal, and tracking explains why we evolved language to communicate the story of our prey

  Funny that you have to blur the bums of hominids but not of apes. I wonder what the line is where you have to start blurring. Like a missing link but for bums
