I missed the story, but... sea ape reminded me of sea cow, or manatee. Those are really wierd looking up close.

Well there is a theroy that Humans evolved from SeaAps (well more like APes that swimed allot) Because we are the only Primeate that has sulty tears and has some webbing betweein our fingers.

god imagine if there were sharks that moved through the ground

hahahah
my point was landsharks are as plausable as sea apes. one belongs on land, the other in water, neither leave their habitats for the other.

well i can swim, so why can't an ape adapt to swimming?, could be posible, only mammals afterall, just like whales and dolphins...maybe people thought sea apes have been mistaken for mermaids in the past or something....

Thats like what theory says, it says all things came from the water like single-celled ameoba.

You have to learn how to swim. I guess apes aren't smart enough to learn.
mr_halo
Oct 6 2004, 11:13 PM
well maybe they learnt, some animals can swim instinctively, so if sea apes are real they would just be able to swim..ok i don't know what i'm on about now...
whats this topic about again?, anyone got any photos?

Well if an ape learned to swim in the sea.. well, it would be an ape, swimming.

What in the world would salty tears have to do with us being sea creatures? The webbed fingers..eh, I can kind of understand that, but salty tears?
And it isn't generally considered a fact that cetaceans (dophins and whales and such) were once land dwellars? I guess that apes could have gotten the same idea.

I'm sorry, I guess I should have quoted Thanato with the first part I wrote.

But I just don't get how us being the only primates with salty tears has anything to do with coming from the sea.

human infants can swim instinctively, if you drop a baby in the water it will swim, not very well, but they still swim

p.s. i have NOT tried this
