- otabdeveloper4 2y ago> Humans are adapted for long distance running and throwing. That's a just-so story which is much more pseudoscience than the aquatic ape theory. Humans are shitty runners, we have a bipedal gait that isn't adapted to running. Paleolithic evidence shows ancient humans were habitual swimmers and divers. (Throwing and swimming use the same muscles in homo sapiens.) Homo sapiens isn't of course an "aquatic ape" (no such thing by definition), but that we always lived next to water and fished and dived for seafood is undeniable.
