He may have come down from the trees, but prehistoric man did not stop swinging. New research into Stone Age humans has argued that, far from having intercourse simply to reproduce, they had sex for fun.

Practices ranging from bondage to group sex, transvestism and the use of sex toys were widespread in primitive societies as a way of building up cultural ties.

Just think! This is a perfect example of humans engaged in monkey business.

LOL! I remember seeing that at a theater when I was very young. I think I was 5 or so.

[Slings and Arrows]

Amazing what causes childhood traumas to resurface.

[RunningWolf]

Now thats a scary concept. And like you I wonder at times if Mans archetypal memories/symbols are rather precursors of what may lie in mans future, should he in total turn away from his creator.

[RunningWolf]

Direct evidence?

Oh its even more direct than that, they build up a ape-man ancestor from not more than a handful of bone fragments which are supposedly 1.7 million years old.

[Pinkbell]

“Experts believe research such as Taylor’s may help overturn false assumptions that sex for the purposes of reproduction is the form closest to nature.”

You know what else is closest to nature, eating raw meat, drinking water from scum filled ponds, doing your business in the wilderness, and even resorting to canabalism? Why would we want to be like nature or uncivilized men?

[john6]

That is about the most irrational bunch of conclusions a person could reach for.

[Torpedogirl]

I lose more respect for Fox as each day goes by.

Typical.

Seems evolution discussion has hit baseball boards also with some alcoholic gambler who calls himself "The Doc" an ET believer, "ktjc" who considers the Bible's book Revelation, "Revelations" and some even more dire characters that actually believe they've got a handle on the Bible, and evolution is a fact.

Hopefully this link will take you there. If not I must be the missing link. http://www.forums.mlb.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?tsn=1&nav=messages&webtag=ml-mlb&tid=65659

Drat, I can't do a link properly, guess I haven't evolved. (major league amoebas)

Proof?  Where's the proof?

Humans, by contrast, are far less easy to distinguish by size. Taylor says that prominent male genitals and female breasts developed to aid recognition of the opposite sex in creatures of similar size and shape. The similarity in size, combined with the ease of face-to-face sex, allowed intercourse to become a vital part of social interaction, communication and inventiveness.

HMmmm.... I don't know....

Kinda hard to tell...

[Elsie]

Sex toys leaves evidence but the group sex, transvestism, etc left what evidence?

Evidence?

HARD evidence!

Remember it's all in how you read the stone fossils.

Even today we are reminded: "If you remain hard for more than 4 hours..."

Where's the proof?

Taylor says that prominent male genitals and female breasts developed to aid recognition of the opposite sex in creatures of similar size and shape.

Silly me. I thought breasts were for making milk to feed the baby. I wonder how many other species made it without such obvious differences?

It's no wonder scientists lose more and more credibility each day.

[Elsie]

By comparison with modern humans, who appeared about 300,000-100,000 years ago, apes have tiny male genitals, no female breasts and are hairy.
