Mermaids: Science Meets Legend

View show details

Brittany Barbieri explores the possibility that mermaids and aquatic humanoids may have roots in reality rather than existing purely in mythology. She references Cold War–era military diver encounters, cross-cultural legends, and evolutionary biology—including the controversial aquatic ape theory—to argue that the topic deserves serious consideration. Brittany also critiques how the word “mermaid” can shut down scientific discussion and reminds listeners that history has repeatedly proven skeptics wrong. Encouraging open-mindedness over rigid thinking, she invites listeners to question established narratives about the ocean’s unexplored depths and humanity’s evolutionary past.
