Mermaid: Body Found

July 12, Discovery Channel released a documentary on the discovery of "mermaids" based on real events and scientific theories. Scientists believe this mystical creature is not so mystical after all. Journalist Jason Robey states, "Throughout history, people from nearly every culture have independently described the same half-man, half-fish anomaly. What if there’s a kernel of truth behind the legend of this mythic creature? Is the idea of mermaids really so far-fetched?" This documentary discusses the theory of the aquatic ape. This theory derives from evolution. Scientists believe that before apes evolved into humans, there were two groups due to a separation. This separation was caused by natural disasters and erosion. One group remained on land, while the other group adapted to water life. Eventually, the aquatic group evolved into mermaids. Robey's article does not describe the details of this theory. I attained this knowledge myself from watching the actual documentary, which was very interesting. However, Robey's article was pure lothos and did not do the documentary justice. He failed to mention details such as the actual evidence, description of the body found, where the body was found, and the names of the scientist's that came up with these theories. Do you believe the idea of mermaids is far fetched?
