    animals. I am imagining this happening in the warmer parts of the world‚ in the tropical seas where Man could stand being in the water for relatively long periods‚ that is‚ several hours at a stretch.” The first use of the term “aquatic ape” was by Desmond Morris in his book‚ The Naked Ape‚ in 1960; writer Elaine Morgan read of this and became the theory’s strongest promoter for the second half of the twentieth century.
