I dunno, I'll give them a break on this. The tone had a fiction vibe to it, sounded more like actors than actual scientists. And it does make you wonder. I was under the impression that our sort of perspiration is different from other land mammals. And I'm not sure if the layer of fat thing they went with is for real. I had to ask myself if a baby dropped in water wouldn't drown and that has to be false. A baby is ill equipped to get out of any kind of scrape.

But the hairless thing is intriguing. And some huge portion of humanity live close to ocean's edge. At least Animal Planet got us talking about the 'aquatic ape' notion.
