Opis

This book presents evidence for the controversial ‘Waterside Ape’ theory of human origins formerly known as the ‘Aquatic Ape’ theory. The ‘Savannah Ape’ hypothesis that hominid apes evolved on the grass plains of East Africa has been long-accepted based on geological and fossil evidence. Recent scientific evidence discredites this hypothesis.
