You can listen to it yourself.

But essentially its problem was the complete
absence of any theme. As with all who
vaguely like to entertain some possibility of
an AAH, the program-makers had almost no
idea what they think themselves.

That can be seen from the point I made in
my few brief words. They claim, on one level,
that the AAH is _merely_ about having more
to do with water than chimps, but then they
start drawing analogies with harbour seals.

So what _really_ is the AAH? No one knows.
There is, of course, no remotely agreed AAH
account of human evolution -- nor of any part
of it. But even apart from that, within the
AAH field there is not one sensible nor
coherent theory, nor set of theories.

Naturally, none of this was explained in
the program. The whole thing was a
disintegrated mess.
