Are there real mermaids?
I’m not mocking you – I’m telling you the absolute truth. There are no such things as merfolk, and there is no such thing as a mergene. We have already completely sequenced the human genome. No such thing exists. A sentient species always leaves behind artifacts of its existence. Merfolk could not exist at depth and be even vaguely similiar in appearance to humans, so they would have to live in fairly shallow depths. Artifacts would include architecture, articles of day to day life, such as tools, jewelry, and possibly written records, carved onto stone slabs. Merfolk items would be so different from anything a land-based lifeform could produce that it would be instantly identifiable. No such evidence has ever came to light – and in our time of submarines, underwater sonar imaging, remote camera robots, bathyspheres, privately funded treasure hunts, scuba divers, underwater nuclear tests, etc. it is impossible for a shallow-depth culture of “mermaids” to exist and not be found. The hum
No, but my dad said that once upon a time when sailors would be lost at sea and dehydrated and delirious they’d imagine they were seeing them. Most time they were dolphins or porpoises, but there were never any real mermaids……..or at least no remains have EVER been found and there’s no proof of them or unicorns or aliens, etc. BUT, my dad DID believe in aliens and thought for sure he was a spacecraft hover over the water not too far from our town. I guess anything is possible, but nobody has EVER found a mermaid.
