• W313860469 abstract "Abstract: This article addresses the question, What are the waterside hypotheses of human evolution? The environments our Homo Sapiens ancestors adapted to through the evolutionary process remain to a certain extent unknown and open to theoretical investigation. When we do such investigation, it is revealed that there are obstetrical implications of the waterside hypotheses that also bear investigation. This article begins to make the important connections. Keywords: Pitocin, Syntocinon, Induction, Biochemical Communication, Prevention of Premature Birth, Traditional Cultures It is well accepted that our ancestors separated from the other members of the chimpanzee family about five or six millions years ago. The common chimpanzees remained adapted to the tropical rainforests of Central Africa, while the bonobos pygmy chimpanzees) remained adapted to the flooded forests south of the river Congo. Paradoxically, the environments Homo ancestors adapted to through the evolutionary process remain to a certain extent unknown. Any theory of the emergence of Homo sapiens must take into account what we may consider, in the scientific context of the 21st century, the most intriguing aspect of human nature. This humanfeature can be summarized in scientific language. It is the association of a huge highly developed brain with a weak delta 4 desaturation capacity. This can easily be translated in lay language: the human body is not very efficient at making a molecule that is essential to feed the brain. The suggested conclusion is that ideally this molecule should be included in the food consumed by human beings. This molecule, commonly called DHA, is a very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid of the omega 3 family (22 carbons and 6 double bonds). The point is that this molecule is preformed, abundant, and ready for use in the seafood chain only. This fact indicates that our ancestors became adapted to the coast at crucial phases of their evolutionary process. In general, the coastal food chain is the only one which can provide all the essential nutrients needed to develop a gigantic brain: not only very long chain, polyunsaturated fatty acids of the Omega-3 family, but also iodine, a good balance in other brain selective minerals such as iron, copper, zinc, magnesium and selenium, and also vitamins, particularly vitamin D. After all, it is difficult to believe that, after leaving the trees, our clever and curious ancestors did not discover the richness of the coastal food chain, bearing in mind that the bones of the famous Lucy were found among turtle and crocodile eggs, and crab claws. Furthermore we have evidence to suggest that during a recent phase in the evolution of our species, about 164,000 years ago, our ancestors included in their diet sources of marine life, particularly shellfish. This is the conclusion of studies conducted at Pinnacle Point, on the south coast of South Africa (Marean, Bar-Matthews, & Bernatchez, 2007). Apart from brain size there are dozens of other features which make us different from our very close relatives in the chimpanzee family; nakedness, a layer of fat attached to the skin, a comparatively low basal body temperature, depleting our body in salt and water for thermo-regulation, bipedality, streamlined body shape, face to face copulation, prominent nose, large empty sinuses on each side of the nasal cavities, low larynx, reduced number of red blood cells, anatomical particularities of hands and feet, multi-pyramidal kidney medullas, and specific colour vision being among the main differences. All these features are suggestive of adaptation to a semi-aquatic environment. Today, all chapters of human anatomy, physiology, behavior, pathology, and evolutionary medicine must be rewritten in the light of the waterside hypotheses. This new vision of homo sapiens was first proposed independently by Max Westenhofer in Berlin (1942) and by Alister Hardy in Oxford (1960), but it is the British science writer Elaine Morgan who has championed the cause in her books (1982; 1990; 2008) and in the seminars she has organized in order to constantly update and strengthen the theory. …" @default.
