Long before anyone had considered the principle of evolution of species, people had been wondering how we came to exist. In early days, explanations were simply fabricated, because there was no way to gather evidence of what had happened. As the evidence began to trickle in, new explanations began to replace the old ones, but not without controversy. They often accounted for evidence that old theories hadn't, but no new theory accounted for everything. This process is ongoing today, and this book proposes a hypothesis covering information that previous scholars have missed.

The Starch Wader Hypothesis theorizes that our early ancestors, perhaps even before our split from apes, evolved due to their proximity to and reliance on shallow bodies of water where starch-rich foods would grow. It draws from not just traditional anthropological areas of research, but also diverse fields of study including mechanical physics, athletics, city planning, nutrition, survivalism, and a range of miscellaneous details so obscure that they don't get included with any broader fields of study.

About the Author

Born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Joshua Seewald has a deep thirst for knowledge. Curious about discrepancies between what his mind and body apparently need and what modern life seems to allow, Seewald embarked on his own research-laden journey that eventually became The Starch Wader Hypothesis. He currently resides in Madison Heights, Michigan.
