> By comparison with modern humans, apes have tiny male genitals, no female breasts and are hairy. But they are easily able to distinguish the sexes because males can weigh up to three times as much as females. Humans, by contrast, are far less easy to distinguish by size. Taylor says that prominent male genitals and female breasts developed to aid recognition of the opposite sex in creatures of similar size and shape.

In addition to everything else, this in addition to the other quotes make it evident that Timothy Taylor has never taken a look at the bonobos. Not only do the females have small, but evident breasts, the males have truly spectacular testicles, and sexual activity of all types seems to be the glue holding their communities together.

And **CaerieD** I’d tend to agree with you about the Venus of Willendorf. She looks as much like a fertility figure as anything. With a very weird head.
