Elaine Morgan was a Welsh author who was born in 1937, she authored books that focused on the role of women in society. Elaine Morgan is best known for her book “The Descent of Woman”, which traces the evolution of humans from their origins to modern times.

Morgan argues that female primates are less aggressive than males and therefore they are better suited to caring for infants. According to her theory, this led to females becoming dominant because they could provide milk for children while males were away hunting.

Morgan, a white woman in her 70s, was a part-time nurse and a mother of two. She was not an anthropologist by trade, but she had been reading about the debates over modern human origins. In 1972, she read “The Descent of Woman” by British anthropologist Lewis Henry Morgan and the book convinced her that Neanderthals were the ancestors of Homo sapiens.

In her research, she found that many fossils from Neanderthal man were being uncovered at the time. Morgan wrote to Charles Darwin’s son George to consult him on this matter and he replied to her with a letter detailing his thoughts on this issue.

In 1975, a friend showed Morgan a program about how scientists pieced together a Neanderthal skeleton from bones found in France

Elaine Morgan is a Welsh-born author, who has written about the theories of evolution, especially about how humans evolved from aquatic apes. She lives in London.

Elaine Morgan is a Welsh biochemist and author who published the theory of aquatic ape hypothesis in 1972. The aquatic ape hypothesis proposes that full-time immersion in water led to many of the physical and mental traits we see among humans and other great apes.

The idea behind Elaine Morgan’s theory is that humanity may have originated from an ancient population of apes living on the shores of a large prehistoric lake, so she has been arguing for decades since her book was published without any evidence for this other than speculation.

Elaine Morgan was a Welsh author and anthropologist who authored the book “The Descent of Woman.” In this book, she proposed that the human female descended from an apes rather than from man as is traditionally believed.

Morgan’s theory suggests that it would have been possible for a small band of ape-like creatures to exist together with the Australopithecines in Africa. These small primates could have been isolated from other males and females of their species, and as a result they could have evolved into a new species.
