The Origins of Shagging
Discussion
It started in Scotland, something else the world has to thank Scotland for
BIRDS do it, bees do it... and so did an early ancestor of humans that lived in Scotland 385 million years ago
Scientists have traced the history of vertebrate sexual intercourse to an ancient armoured fish named Microbrachius dicki.
Microbrachius means "little arms" and refers to the genital limbs that locked male and female fish together when mating. And dicki, well...
The three inch long placoderm - a primitive armoured fish - frolicked in Scottish lakes millions of years before fins evolved into legs.

Don't want to wee on your haggis but, thanks to tectonic shift, Scotland 385 million years ago wasn't anywhere near Scotland TwigtheWonderkid said:
I didn't think fish had intercourse, even today. Don't they go in for external fertilisation. Female lays eggs and male swims over them and releases sperm.
If it's the article I read a while ago they reckon it didn't work very well and died out as external fertilisation just worked better.glazbagun said:

Sharks use internal fertilisation, they have lasted a while.
They evolved it independently of the Scottish fish. The Scottish shagging technique died out. It was an evolutionary dead end. I have no intention of making any cheap jokes at the expense of the good folk of Scotland.ATG said:

Must be a Scottish thing, most of my attempts end in failure these days too glazbagun said:
