Solution

Life underwater:

  1. Evolving to live underwater would be de-evolution.
  2. It means species are reverting to supposedly more primitive forms.
  3. We, as humans, have evolved from living underwater(fish or aquatic species) to living on land.
  4. This took more than 350 million years.
  5. There are humans (Bajau Laut- sea nomads) who can hold their breath for longer durations (up to some minutes) underwater.
  6. However, it is biologically impossible to evolve (or devolve) to live underwater in a short period.
