I wonder about the evolutionary split where as humans can learn to swim in deep water and most if not all other ape species simply drown.


I recall a program I once saw on TV about a scientist who believed that humans shed their hair/fur when they settled on the coast.

The sudden and large intake of protein from fish is what made humans develop and separate from apes.

There was something as well speaking about how we lost our hair so we could swim better.

Sounded reasonable at the time.
