There's a theory humans or proto-humans were once like deer

Among deer, the males and the females only come together during the rutting season. The rest of the year, the bucks wander alone, the does and foals in small groups. There is nothing we could call a society even at the wolf-pack level.

I have read a theory -- can't find a reference right now -- that it was the same way with our very distant ancestors, but at some point the females evolved to be in season all the time, giving the males an incentive to hang around all the time and protect and provide for the females and young -- an obvious survival advantage, and incidentally a necessary precondition for human civilization.

So if you ever wondered why humans appear to be so horny all the time compared to most other vertebrates, there may be a very good evolutionary-biological reason.

So don't feel guilty about it.

As if you would. :D
 
Humans are omnivores, and for the prehistoric humans, food was obtained through hunting and gathering. The usual division of this labor was for men to hunt and fish, and women and children to gather the plants. As they discovered agriculture and animal husbandry, they tended to become more territorial and did less wandering.

As for the horniness, human testosterone levels grow in the autumn months, leading to higher pregnancy rates in November and December.

Naw! We're primates. All the primates are social. Even baboons and the lesser primates. Bonobo chimps are as high sexed as we are. Concealed ovulation may help make us sex mad. Never know when female human in heat. So just fuck them all the time. Bound to catch her fertile sooner or later.

Devious creatures those human females!
 
That esplains all the flinchy ass fuckin' vegan pacifist......bunch of overgrown rodents.
 
i prefer my rodents and ass fucking in separate sentences.

I believe it. Many times vestiges of inbreed actions from our distant ancestors pop up in the population. It all depends on what it is whether or not mother nature weeds it out again. Right now we have a whole section of the population that is exhibiting deer like traits. They don't have a clue that what holds them in thrall is about to run over them.

Habitat shapes behavior. Most primates don't wander the plains.

Yeah but we're talking some pretty basic, deeply ingrained behavior when it comes to male/female social interaction and such. Just doesn't fit with our species or any recent anscestors. Would have to go back to when when we were lizards or tree rats or something.

I should clarify that the testosterone-level thing isn't thoroughly researched, and in Australia the most popular birth months are October, March and May, which don't quite fit the range.

I didn't mean to be a latitudinist.

That is the human's niche. We wandered the savannas. Baboons too. Its why we lost our hair, adopted darker skin in most places and walked upright.

Not really that deeply ingrained. Human pack (?) behavior has changed notably just in the last couple of centuries due to new circumstances.

A clear example would be eurasian horses v african zebras. Genetically very similar, close common ancestor, completely different herd structures.
 
Oh cripes, now the deer are going to Wal-Mart.

Shoppers at the store in Wadena, 150 miles northwest of Minneapolis, speculated that the young animal was searching for a snack Tuesday when it entered the store through the garden center doors.

Tom Grasswick, who happens to live in Deer Creek, told WDAY-TV that he felt like someone had slugged him when the deer slammed into him.

Shopping at Walmart, chewing on ribs. Sounds like deer are turning human.
