| QUOTE (Rasec Wizzlbang @ Apr 30 2012, 02:08 AM) | Humans are the only apes with no penis bone.
Which means something happened in the six million years that separates us from chimps that made penis bones so detrimental to survival that they vanished completely. |
I think I may be able to explain this a bit. The bone is to prolong mating and to keep the primate in question from succumbing to fatigue, correct? One theory for why we walk upright is that we evolved in lush grassy plains and needed height to see over the grasses and watch for predators. Our bipedal stance also gives us some relative speed, making running the hell away from a tiger easier. I'm thinking that maybe longer sessions of mating proved less beneficial for our developing athletic lifestyle, so the bone went away.
Does that sound plausible?

Wikipedia says:
| QUOTE | | It has been speculated that the loss of the bone in humans, when it is present in our nearest related species the chimpanzee, is because humans evolved a mating system in which the male tended to accompany a particular female all the time to attempt to ensure paternity of her children which allows for frequent matings of short duration. Observation suggests that primates with a baculum only infrequently encounter females, but engage in longer periods of copulation which the baculum makes possible, thereby maximizing their chances of fathering the female's offspring. For humans, it is almost impossible to tell when the female is fertile so frequent matings would be necessary to ensure paternity. |

Velvet worms have social systems that are oddly mammalian. They hunt in packs, and live together within rotting logs. These groups are territorial, and will be aggressive towards other groups of velvet worms.

Tuataras lack external ears, but have a third eye that they may use to "see" heat to determine the time of year.
