Opinions vary as to the origin of mankind. For example, the ancient Chinese saying that Nüwa Niangniang created man, such as the Western Christian Adam and Eve said, such as Darwin's theory of evolution. According to evolutionary theory, the ancestors of human beings are forest apes, and gorillas are close relatives of humans. This doctrine is particularly pronounced, and often labeled as a scientist, but sometimes science is also a religion. Recently anthropologists have proposed a new hypothesis of human origin, that is, that human ancestors came from the ocean.
According to Darwin's theory of evolution, human beings have gone through a long evolutionary process, from forest apes to ape humans, to primitive humans, then Homo sapiens, and then to modern humans. However, many people shouted directly, saw the appearance of gorillas, and could not believe that humans were changed from apes. Recently, anthropologists have made remarks that humans should have evolved from apes in the sea.
In the 8 million to 4 million years that remains, the entire African continent has been surrounded by oceans, and on the east coast of Africa, a large number of areas have been submerged by the ocean and become shallow seas. In such an environment, many ancient apes on the east coast of Africa slowly adapted to the geographical environment of the shallow sea in order to survive, evolved into ancient sea apes, their body hair receded, good at swimming, love to eat fish and shrimp.
In the east coast of Africa, the ocean gradually retreated, and most of the eastern part of Africa was exposed, showing the continental landform, and this part of the sea ape gradually adapted to the life of the continent, for various coincidental reasons, gradually evolved into humans, and those forest apes that stayed on the land lost the opportunity and did not evolve into humans. According to this statement, humans should originate from the ancient apes of the sea, which is basically the same as the "mermaids" in the ancient apes.
So what is the scientific basis for this sea ape theory? One: Human beings have smooth skin, which is ironclad evidence that originated in the ocean, such as marine animals, all have smooth skin, and so do humans. Animals that have lived on land for a long time have long body hair, and only humans do not have this obvious feature, and this is the ironclad evidence that human ancestors lived in the water for a long time.
Two: Humans eliminate excess salt from their bodies through sweat and tear glands, and this trait also happens to be a common feature of aquatic beasts, which primates do not have. Three: when people dive, the body function adaptability is very strong, the blood is concentrated in the brain and the heart of the two parts, to maintain the limit of human swimming, and terrestrial apes absolutely do not have this function, and in amphibian seals, this feature is vividly reflected.
Four: Human babies naturally like water, and humans naturally like to eat fish, shrimp, shellfish. Human mothers holding children naturally put children and adults on the same page, because in ancient times, humans in the ocean needed to expose the surface of the water to breathe, and naturally held the child and themselves together, while apes liked to hold the little monkey's head in their arms. These four pieces of evidence can fully show that the ancestors of human beings once lived in the sea for a long time, and this branch should be a marine ancient ape.
