In a 1942 book, the German pathologist Max Westenhöfer published the idea of humans evolving in proximity to water with the statement “The postulation of an aquatic mode of life during an early stage of human evolution is a tenable hypothesis, for which further inquiry may produce additional supporting evidence.

Wikipedia entry for The Aquatic Ape Hypothesis, which postulates that some human characteristics may have evolved due to quality time spent living in partially-aquatic environments.

Not the most scientifically sound hypothesis, but far and away one of the most fun to say out loud. “Aquatic Ape Hypothesis.” See?
