evolutionary time wading in the sea feeling for
clams with our feet,  then finding rocks to bash
open the clams.   The theory is supposed to
explain why human females have large fatty
breasts.....to keep milk warm for our infants
.....which other primates don't have to worry
about as they don't wade around in the sea.
The theory also goes into our body hair patterns
which seem to be designed to shed water quickly.

but I said I'd keep it short.....
