If the genes of a tiny, bumless invertebrate are anything to go by, our anuses might be repurposed sperm chutes.
A new study suggests instead of releasing waste, the first anal orifice was an exit hatch for male sex cells which was given a new task.
Researchers from the University of Bergen in Norway investigated the genetics of xenacoelomorphs; distant relatives of flatworms that have a cul-de-sac for a gut. Despite this lack of a dedicated poop-hole, xenacoelomorphs use some of the same genes we use to turn our digestive system into a tube, only to create a genital opening known as a gonadopore instead.
"Once a hole is there, you can use it for other things," zoologist Andreas Hejnol told Michael Le Page at New Scientist.
Animal anuses exist in an unexpected variety of forms, from myriad waste-releasing pores on flatworm backs to jellyfish that don't bother with a dedicated channel for rubbish at all.

Help get the word out! Oops, Big Pharma continues to destroy lives!! If the truth were told, what man would take this crap? Same for statins that cause ED.
Prostate Drugs Finasteride and Dutasteride May Shrink Prostate AND Penis
Finasteride and dutasteride shrink prostate glands but can have sexual side effects: lower libido and less pleasure. What about penis size?
A review of adverse events reported to the FDA noted several side effects of these drugs. These included reduced libido, erectile dysfunction, orgasmic disorders, breast enlargement, fatigue, muscle weakness, fuzzy thinking and hearing loss (Urology, Oct. 2018).
"See? It's perfectly natural!"
Who paid for this? lol
One of the characteristics of a true scientific study is falsifiability. So this is not science. The secular-humanist scientists of today say they have no presuppositions. This “study” exhibits a big presupposition — that life in its various forms was not created by God. Some traits of the various life forms are repeated because they are good design. One good presupposition deserves another.
“Science” will go to any lengths to justify and celebrate homosexuality.
I thought this was from The Bee...
I wonder who paid for this?
In the beginning it was all about sex. And then eventually the need to eliminate waste was felt.
A dog cooling the Belly ,LOL
This groundbreaking research was done in Norway. So the US taxpayers were not ripped off.
