GoHastings.com lists the book under the category "social evolution"
and further says this under "synopsis":
"In a discussion on the lack of coherent evolutionary explanation
of bipedalism the author proposes a possible semi-aquatic
environment for our ancestors as an alternative to the widely
held '"savannah hypothesis." He gives further consideration to
the evolutionary instruments used in creating bipedalism, as well
as the modern human skull and face and the special human traits
of curiosity and creativity.
The author accesses research by the world's leading scholars
of early hominid evolution and primate behavior to create a
landmark exploration of human origins."
Also by Graslund: The Birth of Prehistoric Chronology: Dating
Methods and Dating Systems in Nineteenth-Century Scandinavian
Archaeology.

I'll never understand this rush on the part of some folks
to say ridiculous things in public. Is he convinced by the
"evidence"? Where is this evidence? If it's the same
thing we've seen in this NG, it strikes me as singularly
*underwhelming* and certainly not grounds for coming
out in print and allying yourself with Elaine Morgan, Algis,
and Marco. I wonder if maybe a few links to Wet Ape
websites would set this fella straight....
