Highkey Obsessed

In this episode Thomas discusses one of the most seemingly compelling and controversial theories in paleoanthropology. The Aquatic Ape Theory (AAT) or Aquatic Ape Hypothesis (AAH), which suggests that a number of humanities features which differ drastically from our ape cousins, may have been developed as adaptations for a more water based existence in our ancestral past.

These adaptations include our upright gait, large brains, breath control, and more!

On this episode of Highkey Obsessed, Thomas improvises an episode and talks about jaguars being reintroduced to the U.S., the NBA Playoffs, the future of the show and his 2020 reading list. 100% better than it sounds because if it wasn't any good he was going to not release the episode and claim technical issues.
