    Ah?? Why do you believe that,
    No answer, only this:
    Aha, so, you're aquatic ape realiy isn't very aquatic, is it?

    Elephants sometimes wade in water and even swim across channels and rivers.

    Do you consider elephants aquatic?

    Why do you think it is we can't carry on conversations with elephants?

    Shouldn't human evolution be about the emergence of human social capabilities rather than our species wading capabilities, amazing as they may be.

    Please answer this question.

    Very large, rel.large-brained, furless, trunk etc.etc.
    Think a *little* bit.

    ...

    Very large size, rel.large brain, no fur, long trunk etc.etc.
    Closely related to Sirenia (together: Tethytheria):
    elephants still like to bathe, even dive with trunk as snorkel:
    elephants are ex-aquatic,
    semi-aquatic very likely still Pleistocene, possibly even late-Pleistocene: which aquatic foods (herbivory) exactly/mostly? esp. during Pluvials??
