TED: I believe we evolved from aquatic apes | Elaine Morgan

The video explores the impact of Charles Darwin on evolutionary thought, focusing on the differences between humans and chimpanzees. It challenges the traditional savanna theory, presenting new evidence that suggests early human ancestors did not evolve in savanna environments. The aquatic ape hypothesis is introduced, proposing that some human traits may have evolved due to an aquatic phase. The video discusses scientific resistance to this idea and suggests a future synthesis of Darwin's and Hardy's theories.
