I'm still in shock... Elaine Morgan... why is it that we tend to believe that our hero's never die?!
It's audd don't you agree, Elaine being renown for her stance on the "aquatic ape" hypothesis... and the subject of many of my posts lately has been "water/rain". What's also audd, is the fact that I had just brought her up in conversation the other day when referencing to a friend how "Academia" tend to get tunnel vision... or what I consider to bee "Cognitive bias". Simply put, it's a tendency to believe what one wants to believe, in the case of Academia, they don't want to believe that they could have been wrong all these years in thinking that humans had evolved on the hot Savannah's... hence explaining why our lack of hair.
Note this excerpt from her wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elaine_Morgan_(writer), re the Aquatic Ape Hypothesis:
It's better to bee "Bang On" than "Dead Wrong" n'est pas!!

Note this excerpt from her wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elaine_Morgan_(writer), re the Aquatic Ape Hypothesis:
Morgan first became drawn into scientific writing when reading popularizers of the savannah hypothesis of human evolution such as Desmond Morris. She described her reaction as one of irritation because the explanations were largely male-centered. For instance, she thought that if humans lost their hair because they needed to sweat while chasing game on the savannah that did not explain why women should also lose their hair as, according to the savannah hypothesis, they would be looking after the children. On re-reading Desmond Morris's The Naked Ape she encountered a reference to a hypothesis that humans had for a time gone through a water phase, the so-called aquatic ape hypothesis. She contacted Morris on this and he directed her to Alister Hardy. Her first book The Descent of Woman(1972) was originally planned to pave the way for Hardy's more academic book, but Hardy never published his book.Note this excerpt from Alister Hardy's wiki page:
Sir Alister Clavering Hardy, FRS[1] (10 February 1896 – 22 May 1985)This is the 2nd time that May 22nd has cropped up today while following the "leads"!! Note this excerpt from my earlier post today re :
- When Joseph Priestley was at college at Daventry Academy 1752–1755, he records that, during the morning of Wednesday 22 May 1754, he “went with a large company to drink whey.”[2] This was probably ‘sack whey’ or ‘wine whey.’
Note the date of May 22nd... keep in mind that as of the last stroke of midnight on this day and beginning May 23rd, there are 222 days remaining in the year, and given this fact, May 22nd falls into the "Off By One" pattern-cluster, as well as the prominent "May 22nd" and "Twin Numbers" pattern-clusters.Note this excerpt from Alister Hardy's wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alister_Hardy:
Aquatic ape hypothesis In 1930, while reading Wood Jones' Man's Place among the Mammals, which included the question of why humans, unlike all other land mammals, had fat attached to their skin, Hardy realized that this trait sounded like the blubber of marine mammals, and began to suspect that humans had ancestors that were more aquatic than previously imagined. Fearing a backlash against such a radical idea, he kept this hypothesis secret until 1960, when he spoke, and later wrote, on the subject, which subsequently became known as the aquatic ape hypothesis in academic circles.The evidence more than proves that Alister Hardy, Elaine Morgan... and many others such as myself, are right and Academia seriously needs to think about not being so afraid of being wrong so that we as a world can grow and move on as we should. Academia has wagged a menacing finger many times at the church for being an obnoxious culprit who resists advancements and change, butt they too have the same obnoxious disease. The sooner the better Academia comes around the better, it's far worse to bee caught bullying the likes of poor Elaine Morgan and Alister Hardy.
It's better to bee "Bang On" than "Dead Wrong" n'est pas!!
