12/20 Of the 200 some primate species living today, we are the only one
that are bi-pedal (walk exclusively on two hind legs). What happened?
\_ God made it that way
\_ Excepting, of course, yer mom. -John
\_ God fucked up
\_ Geez, take an anthro course, why doncha? There's only one
species of anything with a 12 foot neck anymore, either.
\_ humans and dolphins are the only two species that has sex
It's called "adaptation"+"competition"
\_ humans are the only ones that use symbolic language,
so what's your point?
\_ humans and dolphins are the only two species that have sex
for pleasure.
\_ How did you conclude this about Dolphins? They practise
contraception too?
\_ Perhaps from personal experience?
\_ Incorrect. All mammals have sex for pleasure. Humans
(and probably dolphins and possibly chimps...) are the
only animals that have sex with the intent to procreate.
So where do all those other baby animals _/
come from? Accidents?
\_ Richard Gere's butt.
\_ They have sex, they procreate, but they have
no "intent" to procreate. People will have
sex to make babies. Animals do sex for sex.
\_ Good point.
Also, Bonobos are an example of another animal that has
sex purely for recreation, as well as for conflict
resolution and a myriad of other reasons. (Bonobos have a
LOT of sex) -crebbs
\_ Add male-male/female-female genital rubbing to the list,
as proof of non-procreative purpose
\_ PRINCETON RUB!
