Review
"An exceptionally well-written book. Morgan seems to have succeeded where the professionals have failed. She has made a genuine contribution to evolutionary history...and she has presented it in a form which is accessible to the interested lay reader."--British Medical Journal
"An engaging promotion of the hypothesis that a crucial period in human evolution was spent in an aquatic environment....An entertaining and coherent overview of the arguments favoring the "aquatic ape" theory."--Dr. Kimberly Tanner, The Bloomsbury Review
