Did CAVEMEN learn to swim

Answer 1

While there is limited direct evidence of cavemen specifically learning to swim, prehistoric humans likely engaged with water bodies for various reasons, including fishing and gathering resources. They would have had to navigate rivers, lakes, and coastal areas, which suggests they may have developed some swimming abilities. Additionally, similar to modern humans, it's plausible that they instinctively learned to swim as a survival skill when necessary. However, the extent and methods of their swimming are not well-documented in archaeological findings.
