    Dear One and all

    You are most welcome to attend the 3rd WHAT Talk from Dr Stephen Munro of the Australian National Museum. The link is below. Please feel free to share it with anyone you know who is interested in why we are so different from chimpanzees.

    "Selling the Aquatic Ape Theory"

    For those that have studied and understand it, the aquatic ape theory makes perfect sense. So why is it so difficult to sell? In this talk I look at some of the reasons why the aquatic ape theory has had such bad press in the past, and offer some
    personal views on how it might best be promoted in the future.
