Reply #32: Amusing, but typical creationist misrepresentation

The "aquatic ape theory" is a hypothesis that attempts to account for a number of unique human traits (the relative hairlessness, the breath control that facilitiates speach, the placement of our subcutaneous fat, babies' instinctive swimming ability, etc.) by speculating that at least one of the pre-human species that led to us spent a great deal of time in the water, since many of those traits have more in common with semiaquatic animals (like seals & sea lions) than with plains-dwelling animals (the "standard" evolutionary environment for our ancestors).

And yes, simple eyes DO work, that's why they develop so early on the evolutionary scale.
