Dear One and All
Thanks to Andrea Andrews for alerting me to the possibility that some (or all) of the people on our email list might not have received my invite to WHAT Talks #17 last week.
Many apologies (again) for what seems to be my monthly goof up. I really thought I’d got it right this time!
Anyway, if you did receive this last week, sorry for bugging you. If you didn’t, here is the message you *should* have been sent… (and sorry, now, for the extremely short notice. Of course, the talk will be recorded and put on-line later.)
Please consider yourself most cordially invited to the 17th in our WHAT Talks series, next Sunday, 12th March, at 11 pm in Perth, West Australian Time, 3pm in London and, most importantly, 10 am in Chicago, where our guest speaker, Jonathan Foss, will
be speaking on…
Identifying the Aquatic Adaptations (AAs) in Modern and Archaic Humans with possible explanations why AAs are unexplained by Science.
Jon is the Founder and CEO of a highly successful chain of swimming schools, Foss Swim School, in the mid-west in the USA and brings over thirty years’ experience at teaching excellence in swimming to us. It will be fascinating to hear his angle on a
waterside origin for humankind.
The Zoom link to the meeting is at the end of this email. Feel free to forward the invite to anyone who you think might be interested in human evolution.
Note the link specifies a start time a quarter of an hour earlier to allow the guest speaker and a few others to prepare. A "waiting room" system will be in operation so if you do join early, please be patient while we test everything before allowing
people "in".
We are expecting attendees from around the globe so please pay attention to your time zone and any local daylight-saving alterations that might be in place.
The Worldtimebuddy web site is not a bad web resource to check this kind of thing.

Talk Outline
Introduction of Jon Foss and what expertise does he bring to to the Aquatic Adaptation theory. Competitive Swimmer, Coach, Teacher, Inventor and Entrepreneur Jon founded and owns aa 50million / year swimming lesson business in the 6 Midwest states
in the USA. Jon developed a unique proprietary curriculum competitive training program then a successful Learn to swim curriculum for ages 6months to 95 years and has been successfully implemented in 24 schools teaching 40million lessons since 1993. All
instructors trained, by Jon Foss and his team of experts. Foss Swim School won an Emmy for Drowning is a Silent event”, the school has never had a student drown. Jon has a Biology degree, and has continued his education reading over 20,000 academic
papers and countless books.
The Perspective from Jon’s experience.
A. After 7 years of curriculum development, in 1993, Jon began listing numerous AAs and incorporating their swimming function into his methodology.
B. All his students could swim! Why? All living modern humans, share 100+ AAs equally. and can swim well with a minimal instruction as a child. Weekly 1/2 hour lessons over 3 years (=72 hours of immersion), can teach 100% of students to swim down
and across.
C. Why? All human races came from a single source population of Swimming and Running apes which Radiated across the Old World starting 2.4mya.
D. All Archaics (HN, HE, HH), were one powerful and capable species which swam well as evidenced by widespread shell middens, ear exostoses and crossing of most aquatic barriers.
Review of 100+ Aquatic Adaptations as created by members of
AAT@Groups.io, which has been actively posting since 1999. Group Google Doc and shared Excel sheet.
Why are our obvious AAs completely unrecognized by Science?!?
A. Most adults swim poorly and have many misconceptions about who can swim and the process of swimming itself.
B. Up until 2004 the American Pediatric Society recommended against child instruction before age 7, after the window of opportunity to learn to swim well which begins to close at age 6.
C. Accessibility, Swimming pools are not attached to Elementary schools, rather High Schools and Middle schools.
D. All evolutionary Biologists drastically underestimate our divergence from Chimps. They see similarities due to the OOAfrica theory. D. Science has never considered swimming as a PRIMARY selector for our many differences from Gorilla, Orang and
Pan (which cannot swim.). This despite Swimming being the #1 leisure activity and #1 Olympic sport.
