Ron, my bro...I love you all so much and so deeply.<br /><br />Ron, my brother's hypothesis was that cavemen did not have sex very often at all, because babies...attracted wolves. It is a conclusion that no previous anthropologist has ever reached, and therefore trailblazing.Patricia Lockwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05054871173880967520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34876486.post-56847806479635934302009-08-13T07:31:00.309-07:002009-08-13T07:31:00.309-07:00There's supposedly a correlation in primates b...There's supposedly a correlation in primates between male gonad size and frequency of copulation. Frinstance, the more promiscuous species (bonobos/chimps) evolved magnum-sized junk, and they boff like there's no tomorrow (lots of episodes, lots of sperm competition). Gorillas, on the other hand, have teeny-tiny juevos, and slap nasties much less often than their smaller/bigger cousins. Hominids probably had in-between sized nads, but tended towards more frequent copulations (as it reinforced the more cooperative social structure & relationships within hunting-gathering, language-toting hominid bands).<br /><br />Not-a-finger should've won, I feel certain.
