    First place, there isn't just one single flavor of Aquatic
    Ape. In a different thread, elsewhere, I was just
    reminded that there isn't a single "Multiverse" hypothesis
    either. In fact, until something is raised to the level of
    "Scientific Theory" it would be unusual for everyone to
    be agreeing on one single model.

    I've never envisioned a Homo population mermaids, and
    I never met anyone who did. But I've still found plenty to
    argue about WITH other Aquatic Ape accepters.

    Where there is room for argument, you will find argument.

    Period.

    And this video cherry picks what amongst the various takes
    on Aquatic Ape it will react to.

    So right there it's not too good.

    BUT MORE THAN THAT it "Over states" it's own case, and by
    that it EXCEEDS it's own case by a very wide margin. Take
    Omega-3s for example. It offers no explanation what so ever,
    pointing towards cooked meat -- as if that's a great source --
    and our lengthy childhood/developmental period... no explanation
    there!

    Break it down for us: How much DHA were they getting for all
    this cooked meat?

    Oo! Almost forgot...

    They claim the loss of a sagittal crest caused our big brains. Or
    tried to make that claim... along with cooked meat, a lengthy
    developmental stage of because apparently Intelligent Design
    was a thing, and bigger brains would be useful so the designers
    made them that way...

    Does anyone really believe that ANY species couldn't do better
    if they had our intelligence? Because it was never about benefit,
    everything would benefit from being smarter, that's Intelligent
    Design and not evolution.

    So it's a very bad video.

    It's desperate. It sets up straw man arguments to knock down,
    but doesn't even knock them down.
