Why can’t we breathe underwater?

On this week’s episode, Eoin Murphy and Dr Jessamyn Fairfield take us through the latest stories in our Newsround.

Not only that, but we get to hear from a lung and evolutionary expert on why humans can’t breath underwater and what the likelihood is of us ever developing that ability again.
