The Revolutionary History of Doggy-Style
Of all mammals, humans are practically the only ones who don’t just get laid on all fours, doggy-style. Should this be seen as a sign of evolution?
Before becoming civilized, did Mrs. and Mr. Homo Sapiens begin their love affair one behind the other, on all fours in the marital cave? Like animals!
A sign of evolution?
Certain anthropologists have asserted that Homo Sapiens did not truly become human until the blessed day the male had the idea of turning his female counterpart over to make her adopt the missionary position.
Others have claimed that the woman took the first step, becoming bipedal before her draft husband and morphologically ready for head-on sex.
Mrs. Homo sapiens would thus have taken the initiative of the romantic face-to-face, suddenly making the species take a decisive evolutionary leap.
However, this idea popularized by Jean-Jacques Annaud in La Guerre du feu (The War of Fire) could be more plausible. The tilting of the pelvis and the female genitalia that makes the missionary position possible probably dates back to at least three million years, well before the appearance of our species!
