About 25 years ago I read a fascinating, well-written book called The Descent of Woman by Elaine Morgan. She propounded the theory (not original to her, but she expanded on it) that humans once passed through a semi-aquatic phase which caused us to evolve many of the differences which distinguish us from other apes such as hairlessness and subcutaneous fat instead of fur, bipedality, even language. She is assuming the validity of evolution, and frames some of her deductions in the feminist viewpoint of the times, but the notion of the Aquatic Ape as an explanation for at least some of mankind's differences from our simian relatives has gained more acceptance in anthropological circles in the last 25 years.
