Here’s my theory:
Humans had tails.
The longer the tail, the easier it was for a predator to catch.
So having a shorter tail was good for survival.
The females began to see short tails as preferable to long tails, so they chose to mate with shorter and shorter tails.
Heads you win, Tails you lose.
Eventually all the long tails died out or were eaten by predators.
That’s my tale of tails.......................

“...They tell us that
We lost our tails
Evolving up
From little snails
I say it’s all
Just wind in sails
Are we not men?
We are Devo...”

“going to accuweather for biology is like going to KJB and asking what a woman is biologically.”
It is from the Institute for Systems Genetics and Biochemistry and Molecular Pharmacology at the New York University Grossman School of Medicine.

Because we did not “evolve” from apes and we were not so designed.

whale of a tail or two
'Bout the flappin' fish and the girls I've loved
On nights like this with the moon above
A whale of a tail and its all true
