The hypothesis has been around a while. The idea was first proposed in 1940 by by German pathologist Max Westenhöfer and then again by English marine biologist Alister Hardy in 1960. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquatic_ape_hypothesis It rung a bell for me because I read Elaine Morgan's, The Aquatic Ape, published in the popular press in 1999.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
