Guys can we stop squabbling over nonsense and talk about cute fluffy dead animals for a second?

Semi related to how whales and dolphins developed: do you put any weight behind the semi-aquatic human developmental origin hypothesis? I always thought the nakedness and subcutaneous fat arguments were somewhat compelling. How about you?

This is a shit subject to be honest bro. I'd definitely contribute if it was about actually cool prehistoric monsters like ancient giant snakes or the megalodon and shit but I really don't wanna talk about some loser extinct cousin of ant eaters or whatever trash mammal you got in op image.

Just like the famous Naked Zebra and Naked Savannah Lion. Actually the only naked savannah animal I can think of off hand is the hippo and they're semi aquatic.

>just like pretty much every other mammal
Nah, we have subcutaneous blubber which is very much unlike most mammals' (and apes' in particular) tendency toward intramuscular fatty storage.

You ignored the point about sweating mate

And yes, subcutaneous fat is a very common faeture and not brings advantages not only to aquatic mammals. Keep in mind we are also bald
