However the very first forms of life did live in the oceans and evolved into a wide variety of forms in the Cambrian Explosion approximately 530 million years ago which resulted in the appearance of most of the major complex animals. I've watched an interesting documentary about the Burgess Shale in Canada which probably has provided the most abundant amount of fossil evidence from that time period but there's nothing even remotely resembling human beings in any aquatic environment.
Ah-ha! That's what I was trying to say! Thanks Montana!!!
