"The loss of penile spines may have allowed our ancient ancestors to copulate for longer, a development thought to have nurtured monogamous couples and paved the way for more complex social structures"
Damn! I thought it was the other way around.

The jokes will write themselves since they studied the penis spines.
The jokes will write themselves too, regarding “gay” men, I’m sure. We’ve all heard the joke about how homo-erectus moved to San Francisco.

What the...! Am I the only one whose spines are still intact...!?

It never ceases to amaze me at how much detail these scientists can infer from evidence that isnt there.

Yup, they’re still trying to figure out/convince the gullible how you can throw a ton of TNT into a junk yard and come out with a Lexis dealership and showroom floor.

Useless fact for the day: the penis spine in most mammals is more properly called the “oosik”.
Don’t ask me how I know that, because it involves a crazy redhead from Bavaria and a guy who fears people touching his guitar.

Penile spines which make the penis more sensitive and speed ejaculation are more common in animals that face intense competition for mates, and where females are likely to mate with many males in rapid succession. The loss of penile spines may have allowed our ancient ancestors to copulate for longer, a development thought to have nurtured monogamous couples and paved the way for more complex social structures.So, those who have premature-ejaculation issue are more likely to live in promiscuity?

Aha, that's why Barack is superhuman. He's shed both his wiener and his spine.

our ancient ancestors lost facial whiskers and short, tactile spines on their penises. Lost 'em?
They should have paid more attention to where they leave things.
If I've told my kids that once I've told them a thousand times.

Spiny Norman resents the implication that shedding spines makes you more evolved.

Either that or:
Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
Genesis 1:26-27
I will rest on the Word of God, not the word of man.

Cats still have the spines. They are barbs, going the “wrong way” as it were, and only after the painful contact with these barbs will the female cat ovulate.
And not only these painful spines must be endured by the female cat, but the male will bite and hold her by the neck as well, often leaving “fang marks.”
Not only that, but she might be in heat for days, and many male cats might find her, so she has to go through this for Charlie-Sheen-like weekends!!
So I am personally glad we evolved...
