My friend, Bob Free shared JagBanis video. \\ We are water apes. We naturally swim before we can walk, our hair follicles are streamlined, we have a layer of blubber, we have a descendent larynx that allows for underwater vocalization, we have a diving reflex (particularly in children) that slows our heartbeat when we submerge, we have a snorkel-like nose, we have hand/finger adaptations that improve gripping/gathering/opening shellfish, and we have webbing between our thumb and forefinger. Critics have long dismissed the proposals of Westenhöfer, Hardy and Morgan - but they have resonated with me ever since I heard about them as a child. //
