    I've always loved Elaine Morgan's theory. Mostly because it shows science is at its best when considering a series of hypotheses. Elaine morgan raises some fascinating interpretations on why we humans, for example, can have such a well developed layer of subcutaneous fat among the apes. It raises questions about our evolution that need answering, even if this option eventually fails.

    I feel the same way.
    I like it when simple new ideas are able to turn the tables like this.
    I particularly like how the explanation of our power of speech comes out,
    it makes us less alien.

    I have to agree as well with everything Meika said. Also, water has been an essential companion in our march toward civilization, not only in agriculture and fishing, but transportation, communication and colonization. We still like to get into it and splash around some too.
