Study: Prehistoric Man Had Sex for Fun

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.

Genetic evidence. Democrats.
I always thought a Democrat was the result of sexual relations with a close relative.

[ahayes]

Speaking of which, before being banned from CreationWiki, I helped write some objections to the evolutionary tale of human sexuality that might be useful to look over.

Urgh? What's the story behind that? Were they trying to keep it contained to their clique of editors or was it something else?

So, one might ask, what survival advantage is the production of sperm without the production of an egg? None, obviously. Sperm are totally useless without an egg, just as an egg is totally useless without a sperm. So neither sperm nor egg could have developed alone.

And until the capacity to produce both sperm and egg was fully developed, both were totally useless, thus having no survival advantage, and thus not being aided by the evolutionary mechanism of "millions of generations."

OMGoodness. You need to hit the library and do some research on anisogamy. So many of your objections have been addressed. It's like you assume scientists are all total idiots not to notice this irredeemable flaw, when in actuality the flaw does not exist! You do zero research on the proposed evolutionary path and then leap in at the very end of it and say that it would be impossible for the path to have begun there. Perhaps, but it didn't begin there!

I recognize some of that “dialogue” from the old “Convention ‘72” record we always had. A parody using snippets of songs and other recordings.

Was this a recording in itself?

[F.J. Mitchell]

I suppose these geniuses found some video tapes in deep dark, recently discovered caves, exposing the sex lives of these stone age swingers.

So it wasn’t an ice age that wiped out the dinosaurs, but their participation in the kinky sex lives of the lizzardality practicing humanoids of those days?

It grows more and more difficult these days to separate science from fiction.

[Tribune7]

It sort of sounds (cough cough) like what the Bible was saying things were like before the Flood.

Now, all we need is evidence that the prehistoric Earth was filled with violence.

[the OlLine Rebel]

Actually, there are desirable things from nature, and not-so-desirable.

It’s kind of like children are.

There are good things to retain from childhood, and many bad things to discard.

It’s good to be child-like, but not childish. ;-)

[the OlLine Rebel]

Actually, there must be more to it here. Other animals do not retain ponderous breasts beyond breast-feeding. I think some Chimps and Gorillas do, but basically no other animal has constant distended breasts. ONLY during lactation time for babies.

"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."

DD up, DD down.

And they try to call this science...

[editor-surveyor]

"Suppose, instead of being predecessors, they are successors -- that is, they are what humans become, over a long enough course of generations, if unredeemed, if left to their own predilection to turn away from their Creator."

Sounds more likely than the nonsense that the evos want to believe. The true seed of Cain?

[MEGoody]

According to the study, a 30,000-year-old statue of a naked woman -- the Venus of Willendorf -- and an equally ancient stone phallus found in a German cave, provide the earliest direct evidence that sex was about far more than babies.

Oh hogwash. I don't doubt that ancient humans had sex for fun, but the claims that these statues/carvings prove that is just balogna. These statues are more likely to be 'fertility gods' or something.

And the article certainly mentions not one shred of proof that these ancient people practiced transexuality, homosexuality or group sex.

And people wonder why Americans have so little faith in scientific theories such as evolution.

[Smokin' Joe]

the group sex, transvestism, etc left what evidence?

Maybe they ran DNA tests on the condoms they found in the cave...

OK...let's see if common sense will help here...

Caveman day....
Get up before sunrise; eat leftover raw stuff; take dump after "meal"; grab hunting implements; go for a quick 15 mile "tracking" run over sticks, stones, gravel, cactus, pine cones, sharp rocks, up and down hills....eating bugs and berries along the way.
Only to "corner" a very upset sabre tooth tiger fully intent on having YOU for his meal. You throw, chop at, hack at, shoot at, or otherwise cause your hunting implement to violently move in the direction of said tiger.
Said tiger is hit and dies, but not until he has removed, in a most gruesome manner, three of the hunting party.
Now...you have a liesurely walk back (15 miles- remember)to your cave after having shared in the consumption of the brain, heart, and liver of said (and now deceased) tiger. You were elected by the remaining members of the hunting party to wear the skin of said deceased tiger while on the trip back while they carried the carcass for later butchering (such as it was).
Arriving home about nitfall, you ate some of the kill, drank some water from a nearby stream/pool/lake/river/swamp, went into the cave and promptly dropped over from sheer exhaustion!
Then...you feel "her" tugging at you, her being ready for some "fun" sex.
You...knowing that when you wake up before the sunrise that you will repeat today's activities, roll quietly over to her and in your best bedroom voice say, "SEX!!! I DON'T THINK SO!"

[Elsie]

So many of your objections have been addressed.

Addressed, but not proven.

Merely talking about how something MIGHT have happened proves exactly nothing.

[Elsie]

Bought the nuke for good with that baby; the admin removed the whole thing too.
