"In one of its more head-turning posts, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (http://www.latimes.com/topic/weather/science/weather-science/national-oceanic-atmospheric-administration-ORGOV0000102.topic) has announced -- wait for it -- that there is no evidence that mermaids are real."
"The belief in mermaids may have arisen at the very dawn of our species," the post explains. "Magical female figures first appear in cave paintings in the late Paleolithic (Stone Age) period some 30,000 years ago, when modern humans gained dominion over the land and, presumably, began to sail the seas. Half-human creatures, called chimeras, also abound in mythology.... But are mermaids real? No evidence of aquatic humanoids has ever been found."
