Interesting radio programme on the BBC (narrated by Sir David Attenborough) discussing the Aquatic Ape Theory:

> **[BBC - Radio 4 - Scars of Evolution](https://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/science/scarsofevolution.shtml)**
>
> Presented by Sir David Attenborough, Scars of Evolution is a two part series looking at the history and current status of the aquatic ape hypothesis

Includes some enlightening comments from Elaine Morgan herself on the development of Hardy’s ideas.
