Why do humans differ from other primates? What do those differences tell us about human evolution? Elaine Morgan gives a revolutionary hypothesis that explains our anatomic anomalies: why we walk on two legs, why we are covered in fat, why we can control our rate of breathing? The answers point to one conclusion: millions of years ago our ancestors were trapped in a semi-aquatic environment. In presenting her case Elaine Morgan forces scientists to question accepted theories of human evolution.
Elaine Morgan was born in 1920, and after studying at Oxford University, worked as a television writer. In 1972, she published the monumental work The Descent of Woman, suggesting that human evolution had an aquatic origin. In the decades since, Morgan's aquatic ape hypothesis has gained widespread support. She died in 2013.
