Elaine Morgan, gives theories of why humans might have evolved and related it to other aquadic species of mammals, thought provoking. This book points to many features allegedly "unique" to man but extremely common among aquatic mammals such as whales and dolphins, seals, manatees and sea otters. It suggests that a period of aquatic adaptation followed by a return to land, was the decisive factor the evolution of man.
