Legends of mermaids are spread all over the world. Legendary mermaids have human-like upper bodies and fish-like tails, and they are extremely beautiful and sing beautifully.

It is said that the image of the mermaid in Europe comes from the German legend of the mermaid Lorelei. She often appeared on the banks of the Rhine River in the darkness of the day, using her stunning appearance and seductive singing to confuse the passing boatmen and lead them to the point of no return.

So, mermaids aren't always as kind as they are in fairy tales, sometimes they appear in a more sinister image, often representing a curse and that something bad is about to happen.

Some scientists believe that mermaids documented around the world share the common trait that they have human-like upper bodies and fish-like tails, so mermaids may be another variant of hominids.
