is it true we first started as an aquatic creature?

Question

Accepted Answer

∻Answer∻ ⚹ The theory that humans or our ancestors started as aquatic creatures is not widely accepted in the scientific community. The prevailing theory is that human ancestors evolved on the African savanna. ⚹ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹Aquatic Ape Hypothesis⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹The Aquatic Ape Hypothesis is a fringe theory suggesting that some of the ancestors of modern humans spent a period adapting to a semi-aquatic environment. This hypothesis is not supported by the majority of research in anthropology and paleontology, which indicates that human evolution occurred primarily on land, with our ancestors adapting to diverse environments including forests and grasslands.⚹◊How did early human ancestors adapt to living on land after evolving from aquatic creatures?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
