>>34720053its funny because according to the aquatic ape *hypothesis* (fell out of favor in the 70s and has largely been dismissed as pseudoscience, but some recent data about proto-hominid encephalization kinda correlates to it, ish, but she is still probably wrong for assume it to be true) doesn't mention shit about "blubber"
it talks about how we have a subcutaneous fat layer.
but guess what other mammals have subcutaneous fat?
chimps, bonobos, gorillas, and other hairy apes that have never been known to swim or eat fish (or any seafood/fresh water food)
gorillas do not have subcutaneous fat for the same insulatory reasons as whales, why would a human?
especially when that human's exposure to water is a 45 minute soak in a tiny ass chlorine-filled vat.
