Aquatic Mammal Ancestors...

There have ever been four kinds of things on Earth that resemble humans, i.e. monkeys, apes, hominids (Neanderthal, Sasquatchm Homo Erectus...) and humans. The claim that evolutionites make is that monkeys evolved into apes, apes evolved into hominids, and hominids evolved into humans.

But there are big problems with that. Consider the differences between humans and hominids:

• Eyes: Hominids had gigantic dark-world aapted eyes; humans have tiny bright world eyes. The two kinds of creatures could not plausibly have arisen on the same planet.
• Noses: Hominids had huge nasal areas and almost certainly an acute sense of smell; human nasal areas are much smaller, our sense of smel far less acute.
• Rib cages: Hominid rib cages were conical as are those of primates (to make room for the gigantic upper body musculature); our rib cages are cylindrical.
• Musculature: Hominid musculature was very heavy and robust; humans are gracile.
• Fur: Hominids had thick fur coats; humans are furless. Hominids were adapted to cold weather, humans are designed for warm conditions and struggle to deal with cold. Likewise early human needles are common while nobody has ever yet found a Neanderthal needle; a creature with a thick fur coat does not require needles...
• Primary Adaptation: Hominids were land predators; humans are basically aquatic mammals.

The thing about aquatic adaptations...

Elaine Morgan listed around a hundred traits which we share with other aquatic mammals but there are a few which stand out:

• Voluntary control of breathing which is an adaptation for swimming and diving. We take that for granted but monkeys and apes do not have it. That is the only reason they cannot teach chimps and gorillas to speak English (they can be taught to communicate using deaf signs perfectly well).
• Face to face sex. Marine mammals do that, land animals generally don't.
• Shoulders adapted for swim strokes. The motion to swim is the same as to throw something like a javelin or use an atlatl or, generally, throw anything overhand like humans do. Humans have that, primates and hominids never did. That is why Neanderthals were limited to thrusting spears while early humans had atlatls and javelins.
• Lack of a decent sense of smell. All land prey animals have vastly better senses of smell than humans do and would go extinct very quickly if they did not. A sense of smell is not terribly important to an aquatic mammal.

Again, Elaine Morgan lists something like a hundred such aquatic traits. Elaine Morgan's aquatic ape theory can be viewed two ways. Viewed as a new version of evolutionism, it is just another flavor of BS. Viewed as a theory of human adaptation, it is the best theory that has ever come down the road, but it has never gotten any traction in academia and there are two reasons for that:

There is no fossil evidence of any sort of an aquatic ape ever having lived on this planet, and there has never been a body of water on this planet which would be safe for humans to live in.

Perfectly good theory, it just needs a different kind of a world to happen on. That of course is what the Ganymede Hypothesis is about:

But from the point of view of evolution(ism), any creature has to be well acapted to his own home world and from the discussion here, we can see that, as Lloyd Pye claimed, hominids were native to Earth and humans are not. Hominids and humans could in fact be called opposite kinds of creatures in pretty nearly every possible way and if you are going to pick something which is not human to claim that humans are descendded from, hominids should be about your last choice.

A believable human ancestor or evolutionary antecedant, something that is not human but which you might want to claim was a human ancestor, would at least have to be some other kind of aquatic mammal.

That brings up our question of the day for evolutionists: Does your family tree include any seals or otters or whales or any such to your knowledge?
