Another myth shattered... I thought sex was not invented until quite recently.

LOL

Actually, in some long ago cultures, sex wasn't thought of, automatically, as pornography.

In some cultures sex was revered for it's life giving properties...

It's all in the interpretation, I guess

Shatter what belief? According to whom? I have read many archelogy, anthropology and history books in my life, but can't recall such a silly assertion.

This just confirms my observation about "science reporting for the public" -- the reporters can never seem to resist trying to "jazz up" the story by playing up (or just inventing, if necessary) one of (or both) of the following angles:

1. "This challenges/revolutionizes/overturns/shatters previous scientific views."

2. "Huge Controversy takes place over this issue."

It's never enough to just report a discovery, they have to report it as High Drama in the belief that the reader won't find it interesting otherwise.

Evil has always been with us.

I've heard it has something to do with where babies come from.

For erections lasting more than 4000 years, seek medical assistance promptly.

Their diet for the most part consists of whole rotten cabbages and animal intestines stuffed with blood and gore.
