Thanks a lot. FYI, some recent info.
Better terms than ‘aquatic ape’ are Littoral Theory or Coastal Dispersal Model: rather than running over savannas, Homo populations during the Ice Ages followed coasts & rivers, collecting different waterside & shallow aquatic plant & animal foods.
Human Evolution publishes in 2 special editions the proceedings of the symposium with David Attenborough & Donald Johanson on human waterside evolution 'Human Evolution: Past, Present & Future' in London 8-10 May 2013:
