All this talk about nursing marine mammals seemed to relate to this aquatic ape
theory I stumbled across on the web.  According to the theory, our ancestors
lived in an aquatic or semi-watery environment and this is why we share some
charcteristics with other marine mammals, such as the subcutaneous fat layer
being attached to the skin, whereas it being attached to the underlying tissues
in apes.  Now, is this bunk?  Or is there something to this?  Maybe some of us
are more aquatic than others, MER shooting across the room, nursing in the
bathtub....hmmm
