What does science say about us being mermaids?

This has been debunked because we are descended from africa and blacks cant swim

Humans have literally no vestigial aquatic-adapted traits

I'm working on proving the theory that our eyes were developed to see underwater conditions.

its less about "mermaids" and more that we are literally the only ape species that has any adaptations that even coincidentally are useful for swimming. Subcutaneous fat, ability to sweat, lower body hair, hair on our head flows down instead of up to let the water drip away faster, and human infants are born INSTANTLY knowing to hold their breath under water.

now look at the migratory patterns of early hominid life and see how our ancestors loved to follow the edge of water wherever we found it. Lakes, oceans, rivers, streams; we found any and every excuse to stay near these things.... almost like there's some sorta innate advantage to it.


finally consider of all the other apes, humans have the greatest need for fresh water regularly. Sure we're "supposed' to be getting a lot of water from the fruit/veggies we eat, but not every season is harvest season. why the hell, as the deserts expanded in africa, did humans manage to not only not adapt to need less water but instead adapted to need MORE water? Because we're the only apes to adapt to being around water all the time.

Japanese macaques are mainly found near water. Do they have any of these adaptations?

>ability to sweat
What does that have to do with being aquatic?
