Humans are semi-aquatic and there is good reason to believe we were originally aquatic altogether as per Elaine Morgan's thesis. Humans live near water when it is possible. As long as Iowa ships were in service, 80% of all potential military targets in the world were within range of their guns.

Morgan's "Aquatic Ape" theory is nonsense. Just check out the scientific literature and you'll see how well regarded that idea is.

All antediluvian shorelines and almost certainly 99% of antediluvian human habitat are now beneath the waves, along with 99.9% of all mixed human/dinosaur bone-yards. It's a safe bet tht what we call continental shelves are merely antediluvian ocean boundaries.

Nonsense. Sea level rise since the purported date for the global flood (ca. 4350 years ago) has been just a few meters. There are tens of thousands of older habitation and use sites which have been tested and which lack dinosaur bones. Dinosaur bones are big--some much larger than mammoth and mastodon, yet bones from mammoth and mastodon and other megafauna are routinely found. Where are the dinosaur bones? (Down in the rock where they belong!)

Face it, the global flood is a myth and the idea that humans cavorted with dinosaurs is on somewhat less solid footing than the Easter Bunny.

They’ve been finding cities beneath the waves; off Japan, off India, and even off of Cuba, 2000’ beneath the waves. Do your own google searches on ‘cuba’, ‘under water’, ‘city’, and ‘Zelitsky’.

I don't really care what idiots think; Morgan's theory is entirely logical and supported by the facts. Her theory is more or less outside of the theory of evolution and I don't see it being necessary to believe in evolution to grasp the fact that she is correct in thinking that humans originally lived in water. The biggest visual difference between us and apes is our legs being the major limbs and that is an adaptation for swimming and wading. A land animal trying to evolve into bipedalism wouldn't make it.
