...But We Digress - Mermaids

Sunday Jul 22, 2018
We just talked last episode about Speculative Evolution, so now is a great time to tackle another request we received: to talk about mermaids!
In this digression, we discuss these famous mythical marine creatures and do some speculating of our own. Could aquatic humans evolve? And if so, what might they really look like?
