  • The Aquatic Ape Theory (often referred to as the AAT or AAH -- I'll generally refer to it as the AAT/H on this site) says humans went through an aquatic or semi-aquatic stage in our evolution and that this accounts for many features seen in human anatomy and physiology. Using the principle of convergent evolution, it says that life in an aquatic environment explains these features, and that a transition from ape to hominid in a non-aquatic environment cannot.  

     This web page offers a critical examination of the Aquatic Ape Theory, treating it as a serious scientific theory.  It is one of the few online sources that does so.  There are many other web sites which deal with it, but they do not offer the critical examination which any theory needs to be given.
