Toumai (a Saga); Atalant (book 1)

Anthropology, like so many other expert fields, are so riddled with confirmation bias that prevents otherwise great hypothesis to see the light of day. Such is the case with the Aquatic Ape Hypothesis (also known as the "Waterside Hypothesis) that dared to step up to the plate to steal lime light from the trendy "Savannah Hypothesis" that's taught in schools and universities the world over. Things have changed drastically since the days when Aquatic Ape proponent Elaine Morgan stood steadfast against vicious backlashing from many within the circles of Anthropology. Elaine stood her ground to systematically present evidence in support of the new hypothesis, so that even now after her death, many have picked up the torch, myself included.
