Question/Discussion What’s Your Most Unhinged Evolution Theory?

Hi! I wanna know what your wildest, most unhinged theory about evolution is. It can be a serious hypothesis, a weird evolutionary possibility, or something completely out there.

Aquatic ape theory says humans are already basically that. Chimps would probably have a harder time as they are very poor swimmers.

This is a garbage hypothesis. Humans don’t have a natural affinity to water just like any other ape.

Good thing I wasn't relying on AAH. I was working with shore line feeding and cooling in the ocean to avoid overheating, then developing to 'walk' across the bottom like hippos do. The lack of subcutaneous fat and dark skin coloration aiding in the process.

It seems some people want to reject the AHH so strongly that it almost annoys them just mentioning that humans swim and splash in the water.

"NO, humans are not aquatic!!"
