Am I the only one watching on Animal Planet? Fascinating!
I am not one for conspiracy theories or getting caught up in popular culture, but this is something I believe. I find the anthropological evidence striking, and anyone who has taken even one biological anthropology class knows that the facts make sense.

Maybe "fact" was the wrong word to use, but I was referring to the anthropological side of it. Not just the aquatic ape theory, a hypothesis yet to be discredited, but also the biological attributes, such as the skull ridge. Paranthropus aethiopicus lived about 2.5 mya, which feeds into the aquatic ape theory. I am not going to let an animal planet special put ideas in my head or have me fight for a cause, but it did reference some very real things.
Like I said, I'm not jumping to rant about a conspiracy theory or anything, I just find the topic interesting; when you look at an evolutionary timeline, it has some merit.
