Abstract [en]

The Aquatic Ape Theory (AAT) is an more or less ignored theory which try to explain why our ancestors changed in the way they did, so unlike all other apes. Features like walking erect, underlying fat and sweating is not common in apes or land mammals. If we were considered an aquatic mammal, then we would not be the odd man out. This review is an attempt to introduce the AAT. Its main purpose is to offer an alternative evoulution theory and both to exhort and encourage to further investigation. This review is restricted and will not treat the whole theory. Evolution of speach and the size of human brain is not treated in this review.
