You can read about Ocean Ramsey's dive here.

She said that when she goes for a free dive, which means she swims with no oxygen tank, she must keep her heart rate low and not alarm the animal by breathing heavily which creates bubbles. 

SNIP

The longest she can stay underwater for without oxygen is 5 min and 45 seconds.

Her website is here.

Elaine Morgan and Aquatic Apes

I read Elaine Morgan's book, The Descent of Woman, over 20 years ago and I enjoyed it.  It made sense to me.  I'm not exactly sure why I starting digging around the internet yesterday looking for articles about her theory, but that's what happened.  I have not read any of her other books, but they are now on my list.

I watched the BBC program from 1998 about her and the theory - the quality was not a good one, so I went searching again and found this.  I also found a blog that is dedicated to this theory - I've only read a couple of entries and am looking forward to delving into it over the next few days.  I'm sure that the internet will yield even more treasures!

There are a lot of thoughts swirling around my little brain about this and how it relates to feminism, spirituality, evolution, the environment and Life - all subjects of vital interest to me.  As my thoughts coalesce and take a form which I can verbalize, you'll read about it here!
