Author of "The Prehistory of the Pedestrian," she explains in this book our difference from the australopithecine lineage and why they cannot be our ancestors. Yvette Deloison describes the proto-hominoid at the origin of our lineage as a biped living in a semi-aquatic environment. The discovery of fossil footprints in Crete dating back more than 5 million years corroborates her thesis on our origins, and this opinion, supported by eminent specialists, has never been refuted to this day.
Dr. Jacques Vallotton explores the role of genetics in human evolution through the example of the spleen in the Bajo, a population of natural freedivers. He also discusses rapid adaptive mutations and the potential aquatic origin of humans.
