This Theory is about extant scientific consensus of humans first evolved during period of rapid climate fluctuation between wet and dry and the adaptations that distinguish humans from the great apes but the proposal itself has been criticized by experts.

Is that a branch of this primitive ape-stock hominoids was forced by competition from life in the trees to feed on the sea-shores and to hunt for food and get shell fish from the sea shores. I suppose that they were forced into the water just as we seen happen in so many other groups of terrestrial animals.

In other words, the Aquatic Ape Theory explains all of these features but it explains them all twice. Every one of the features encompassed by the theory still requires a reason for it to be maintained after hominids left the aquatic environment. Every one of these reasons probably would be sufficient to explain the evolution of the traits in the absence if the aquatic environment.
