Put aside your notions of beings half-human and half-fish, for there are no such things.
Put aside for the time being your fears of things wet and strange, said to be reptilian in nature, which emerge from swamps and rivers and oceans to walk among us.
The answers to these mysteries you find in this book will surprise you. They have an ancient ancestry and a story of survival that we are only now beginning to uncover.
Join us as we reveal this journey of discovery in these pages.
