In support of her aquatic ape hypothesis she points out the flaws in our physiological make-up: the difficulties of erect bipedalism, our hairlessness and fat-layers, our preference for face to face sex and the way we breathe.
The human body is liable to suffer from obesity, lower back pain and acne. Elaine Morgan discovers what this event was by studying the many incongruous flaws in the physiological make-up of humans. Millions of years ago something happened that caused our ancestors to walk on two legs, to lose their fur, to develop larger brains and learn how to speak. With brilliant logic she argues that our hominid ancestors began to evolve in response to an aquatic environment. In this lively and controversial book Elaine Morgan presents a challenging interpretation to the question of human evolution.
