[Paleopsych] Der Spiegel: Sex in the Stone Age: Pornography in Clay

[W. Troy Tucker]

This may be the poorest popular science article I have
ever read!  Only the weak masterbated?!?  To the men
of that period, the fact that the female body would
periodically swell up until a screaming baby would
emerge from the woman's lap was nothing less than
astonishing?!?  Stone Age women were constantly
disappearing into the bushes with different
partners?!?  I'm speechless.  That the author managed
to make Helen Fisher sound so dumb gives me hope that
the rest of the loonies he quoted might have been
similarly misconstrued.  Or perhaps his
"Socio-biologists" and "Tabooists" are species of
hominids unknown to my rustic neanderthal science.

Troy.
