I think he understands that.

He probably doesn’t see a reason that they would move all the way down there over the course of time. Why wasn’t the original point sufficient? It must have worked at it’s original point?

If the new point outside the main part of the body didn’t happen all at once, how many millions of years would it take for this accident to happen, and what possible benefit could there be during the journey, to make the accidental slight movement an advantage, and worthwhile?

Thanks.

Well, at one point our ancestors were cold-blooded, some were aquatic, some had photoperiod-regulated gonads. I guess all these changes that led to a warm-blooded mammal didn't happen all at once nor by the same mechanism. Descended testicles could be just one mechanism for temperature regulation (there are other ways) of an organ, it worked and it stuck.

But when the statement says, "..for no good reason..." I take it to mean, "for no good reason."

I think the answer to your question is obvious. Monkey-Men realized the guys who worked making cups in the future would be unemployed. So, being the good Monkey-Men citizens they were, a concerted effort was made to get things out in the open, as it were. Thanks to the complexity and intellect(?) of time and random chance, and pulling, tugging, dedicated Monkey-Men, thousands of jobs were saved and we fellows can all be kicked in the nads. Surely you can see how this little bit of random selection has worked to our extreme advantage?
