... that The Descent of Woman by Welsh author Elaine Morgan states that human sexual intercourse evolved from apes that lived in a semi-aquatic environment?

A very interesting article; I was not aware of the amount of pseudoscience in the aquatic ape hypothesis ^^. No copyvio, QPQ is done, everything is properly referenced. However, I would suggest tweaking the hook to better fit the references: "... that The Descent of Woman by Welsh author Elaine Morgan states that front-to-front sexual intercourse evolved from apes that lived in a semi-aquatic environment?"(Note that I replaced the generic "Human" with "front-to-front" - after all, a lot of position exist for human sexual intercourse). What do you think? Applodion (talk) 11:41, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
- @Applodion: The tweak works. I didn’t realize until now how I worded the hook, but I have been reading the human article that treats it like a guide for aliens. SL93 (talk) 14:45, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
- ALT1: ... that The Descent of Woman by Welsh author Elaine Morgan states that front-to-front sexual intercourse evolved from apes that lived in a semi-aquatic environment?
Great! I have listed the new hook as "ALT1". Good to go now. Applodion (talk) 22:02, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
