In 1960, Sir Alister Hardy, a marine biologist knighted for his contribution to the fisheries industry, gave a talk at the British Sub-Aqua Club (a scuba-diving club) and a month later published an article in New Scientist on that talk, called “Was Man More Aquatic in the Past?” Although the idea caught people's fancies and garnered some attention by the newspapers, it showed little sign of the long-lasting popular appeal it would eventually have. It didn't happen overnight. [Source: Encyclopedia of Anthropology; Aquatic Ape Hypothesis]
