On 12th and 19th April 2005, the BBC broadcast a two-part mini-series about the Aquatic Ape Hypothesis. It was produced by Richard Collins, narrated by David Attenborough and contained interviews with several prominent people in the field of human evolution generally and the AAH specifically.

Here you can find a full copy of the transcript of the program (Courtesy of Christine Bjorklund) a link to a critique of the program and a response to that critique.

1st Broadcast (12th April 2005):
Introduces the aquatic ape theory by noting the remarkable ability of long distance swimmers. It contains recorded statements by  Elaine Morgan, Phillip Tobias, Daniel Dennett and Leslie Aiello as well as some important texts from the literature by Alister Hardy, Raymond Dart and Desmond Morris outlining the historical background to this controversial, but essentially plausible, hypothesis about human evolution.

2nd Broadcast (19th April 2005):
This program looks at parts of the body of evidence which proponents of the hypothesis cite as evidence for it. For example Stephen Cunnane and Michael Crawford make the case for certain chemicals (e.g. EFAs) essential in brain development occurring more in the marine food chain and the peculiar human trait of waxy vernix caseosa shared, it seems, by very few mammals except the harbour seal.

Critique:
The AAH has a rather determined opposition and one of the most determined of all is Jim Moore who has written an entire web site against it. Jim was very quick in writing this critique in response to the program.

Response to the Critique:
Many thanks to Pauline Ross for contributing this very balanced critique of Jim's review.
