Today I learned there is a theory of human evolution that, if mentioned, will get you kicked out of an anthropology class.

Today I learned there is a varaint of the savanna theory of human evolution, and if mentioned, will probably get you thrown out of an Anthropology class. You will certainly fail the class.

Today I learned there is a theory human evolution that purports that early humans were aquatic apes.

Also, if you mention the theory in an Anthropology class, you will get kicked out of class! Or you will fail, or both!

This is insane. The fact that a journal editor (Nature) would have such an opinionated view about a theory is unprofessional at the least. He should call for a special publication to discuss the theory, that is science - science is not opinions.
