The Bajau People of Southeast Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines). Real life “Aquamen”.
The Bajau are able to hold their breath much longer than the average people, up to 13 minutes and dive deep down to 60 meters underwater. They are semi-nomadic people that lived and relied on the seas, with mostly fishes and seafood for their diet.
No, they don’t have gills…
But they have adapted/evolved much larger spleen compared to other people.
Even as toddlers they were able to swim naturally. The nomadic Bajau babies were born next by the sea, and get introduced to it right after birth.
