history
The history of the legendary mermaid dates back to over 7 million years ago in Africa.When humans had not yet evolved. Living on the small island of what is now Africa surviving on shellfish that contained many nutrients that is essential for life which was thought to be where our intelligence had started to grow. But this was when the earth had started changing, there was a volcanic eruption that cause terrer and fear of the apes. Some went to find safety, but some went to the sea. After many years the apes that had fled to the sea had evolved in what today are know thought to be mermaids.
In 2004 two boys were on a massed whale beach in Washington state. While they were recording with a cell phone they recorded what is believed to be a mermaid.
research
These creatures have been recorded, unscientifically, for years even by Columbus! But now due to our scientific advances we can now learn more about what is in our oceans. In 1997 NOAA recorded a sound that was thought to be organic and nature that was unidentified. It is called the bloop. In the early 2000's the navy was proved that they were responsible for the beached whales. While NOAA recorded near by they also recored again, the bloop. Other research is being done with marine biologists, and the navy.
Hoaxes
Many people see mermaids has a beautiful women with the tail of a fish. But in reality they are merrily intelligent fish the size of a human. Some people buy costumes and video tape them selfes, or make fake sculptures of what a mermaid skeleton would look like. Also some people could mistake dolphin or whales if they only see them for a spit second.
But how could you explain the sounds, and why would the government cover it up if it was all fake?
objects ?
In order to survive you need food. But how would a mermaid get its food? What they do is hunt just like us. But where would they learn? The way mermaid learned to hunt was by dolphins. And they way that they kill the fish is by making weapons out of rock and fish bones. Many of these weapons we found injected in fish caught by fishermen shown in the images
below.
