I would regard the central premise as the existence of an aquatic hominid species, interfertile with humans, and both the alternate history and the human-but-alien perspectives as being consequences arising from that premise. And I'd have liked to see a little more evidence that Whitfield had thought long and hard about the biology (especially the evolutionary biology).

I think on that level it is definitely a fantasy.
