How do people turn into mermaids?

To complete the transformation, shout 'yag gnikcuf ma I!

There are no such things as merfolk, and there is no such thing as a mergene. Proof of their non-existence is obvious for anyone with the intelligence to employ critical thinking skills. 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, so they are definitely not “hiding”. 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 human body, with its specialized developments, has designed itself for land living in a gravitational environment. A merfolk would not need the body to be so bipedally designed and the buoyancy of the water itself offsetting the pull of gravity allows for a more symmetrical alignment of the organs from front to back instead of from side to side.

You cannot “evolve” backwards. By the time Homo Sapiens had evolved from our primate ancestor, there was a millions of years interval between us and the time our mammalian ancestors differentiated from amphibian life. No such “regressive mutation” is possible – therefore human/fish “merfolk” are impossible.

Aquatic creatures, as stated above, evolved along far different lines than land-based animals. Even if a branch of fish could have developed human level intelligence (which is not possible – our brain development is a direct result of our environment and cannot be duplicated in the ocean) the closest possibility is the dolphin, which is the only sea creature that shows evidence of cognitive function anywhere near our level. There is absolutely no environmental reason for a cognitively developing sea creature to physically develop into a half human.

It doesn’t work like that. As to “magic” – if “spells” actually worked to transform humans into their wishes, the world would be full of vampires, werewolves, unicorns, merfolk, elves, dwarves, etc. etc. ad nauseum, and all of these “emerging races” would be hunted by humans as oddities, captured for display, or studied for scientific purposes. If humans could transform into any creature, don’t you think they’d “become” the property of the U.S. government so fast it’d make your head swim?

(a little like the Monsters vs. Aliens movie). There are no spells or potions to do this, and anyone telling you that mermaids exist is either lying, or delusional. No, humankind is the only sentient race on earth, and all these fantasy creatures are nothing more than wishful thinking.

There are no mermaids, vampires, werewolves, faerie queens, lake monsters, or bigfoot/yetis. No dead mermaid has ever been found. The Youtube video is a hoax, and a rather obvious one at that – the “mermaid” is on the beach in a “frozen” crawling position.

Sorry, dead bodies don’t do that. A mermaid crawling back to the water would have collapsed, face down. Also, the cameraman is eerily silent.

No emotion whatsoever. Looks like a college art video to me. The special, “Mermaids: The Body Found” was a “mockumentary”, and wasn’t real.

All the people and experts featured were actors playing fictional characters invented for the show. I am a Nurse, real education, real experience.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
