This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

For some reason, only one ape species ever has non-small breasts. You never get large breasted gorillas, chimpanzees or bonobos even though they share 98% of their DNA with us. What is it about humans that means that that trait was evolutionarily advantageous? It's obviously a feature with significant disadvantages, so what is the advantage that offsets that for humans in a way that it doesn't for other great apes?

Do gorillas, chimpanzees, or Bonobos mate face-to-face, or doggy style?

For bonobos, a whole variety of ways and very frequently.

This might be 100% bullshit but an interesting theory nonetheless.

Gorliias, chimpanzees and bonobos walk around at butt height and see how strong a potential partner is by their butts. Since we started walking upright boobs are closer to eye level and have eveloved to resemble butts.
