Babies: the floating apes?
Babies: the floating apes? In 1960, British biologist Alister Hardy proposed
that humans evolved from apes when they descended from the trees to
live in the sea, not on the plains as usually supposed. He believes
that once in the water, humans lost body hair and developed a thick
layer of body fat to keep warm. "This explains why new-born babies
can float, unlike other apes," said Sir Alister. DECEMBER 12, 2000
