Snip the facts & replace them by fairy tales. Disgusting.
Says the nut-case who claims mountain beavers are semi-aquatic:
Verhaegen et al. (2002:213-14):
"Tooth microwear studies indicate that
Australopithecus afarensis molar enamel had a
glossy polished surface that is typical of the molars
of capybaras Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris and
mountain-beavers Aplodontia rufa [24].
Both these semi-aquatic rodents feed mainly on riverside herbs,
grasses and the bark of young trees."
Marc Verhaegen, Pierre-François Puech and
Stephen Munro
Aquarboreal ancestors?

Facts:
Only illiterates think mountain beavers are semi-aquatic.

"Archaeologists contend that human ancestors lost their standard ape
body hair when they left the shade of the forests for the hot, open
savanna and needed bare skin for efficient sweating.
Yep, confirmed. The careful reader will notice the efficient sweating
of Mr. Karoha and the thick-fur coat of the inefficient
Mr. Kudu, who sweat himself to death in it.
