Aquatic ape hypothesis - Wikipedia
​
I read a book years ago in my freshman year in college, it was a physical anthro course, the author was Elaine Morgan.
​
She posited that modern humans have they're beginnings in a beach and water environment.
​
Did some other primate inhabit the water? Good question, except the fossil record as of yet does not seem to support it.
​
The Savannah grassland theory still seems to be the accepted theory of where primates began the journey to humanity.

Yeah, I do not adhere to that theory. I also think that if there was some ancient mermaid race extant or extinct there would be some evidence of it.
