I'm getting a lot of email asking me to talk about the aquatic ape theory, the idea that humans went through a semi-aquatic stage in their evolutionary history. It's complete nonsense; its proponents spew out a lot of inconsistent and mutually contradictory noise to 'support' their claims, and there is no evidence anywhere for such a stage. I don't need to say more, though, because Jim Moore's Aquatic Ape page is the definitive web resource for dissecting this fringe theory.

The Aquatic Ape theory is bunk, but Aquatic Sparrow theory just got a huge boost.
The Aquatic Ape Theory is being discussed over at Pharyngula. As PZ points out, an excellent resource on this idea is Moore's site on the topic.
