If human ancestors were a species of aquatic ape ...
To be fair the Mezz did not try to state that proto-humans were fully aquatic like a dolphin or something. Only that they hung out at the seashore a lot.

Another theory of hairlessness is that human babies began to take more time to develop. That is to say they retained many fetal characteristics even after they were born. This allowed them and especially their brains to continue to develop for longer, perhaps twice as long, as an animal which is fully developed at birth. In this theory hairlessness is just a side-effect of bigger brains and was not adaptive in itself.
