When I think of human evolution, I used to imagine an ape-like ancestor who left the jungle and moved to the #savannah to run around on two legs and become a hunter.
Not many of us are aware however that the 'Savannah Hypothesis' is not based on scientific evidence, but ingrained in a great anthropological dogma, that became an indisputable truth.
But recently I was contacted by Dr. Marc Verhaegen: his findings on human evolution from comparative biology opened my eyes and gave me new, totally unexpected views: Early humans couldn't survive at all on the savannah, instead, they developed our most
remarkable traits (bipedalism, loss of fur, big brain, ...) by adapting to a life near the #water.
