What about testicles outside the body? Every man has a painful story why it’s not a good idea..
- xg15 6mo agoI read this does have a functional reason: Sperm cells have to be kept at slightly lower temperature than the body temperature, so if the testicles were inside the body, the sperm wouldn't survive. Of course you could ask why sperm is so temperature sensitive in the first place...
- volemo 6mo agoIf elephants did it, I’m sure we can too.
- beAbU 6mo agoWe did do it! It's called testicles!
- volemo 6mo agoBut ours are outside. :(
- melagonster 6mo agoThey have a complex system to mantain the specific temperature. Huaman and other smaller animal do not have enough space to it inside.
- polotics 5mo agoIf we were as large as elephants, then yes.
- fastjack42 6mo agoNow that sounds like a design flaw in sperm cells
- amelius 6mo agoYeah, it makes more sense to put all the fragile body parts in one place. For instance, the face.
- hermitcrab 6mo agoI think I prefer the solution evolution came up with!
- amelius 6mo agoYou are biased ;)
