Introduction / Summary (2018): Hello and welcome to our Sexuality pages. While this is not a pornographic site, it is provocative - founded upon what people search on the Internet (which is very interesting!). We then relate this to our biological and cultural evolution.
Sex is obviously important to people - and if you want to improve your sexual relationships then knowing the truth about our human evolution is the best foundation. By opening our minds to a greater diversity of behaviors, this knowledge will help you creatively cultivate healthy pleasurable moral attitudes and sexy smutty relationships (free from religious guilt & cultural myths).
Support an open honest discussion on the truth of our sexual evolution and behaviour. If you support sex positive, moral, informed sexual behaviour please share this knowledge. (These pages have a diverse collection of fascinating information relating to our human sexual evolution so people will appreciate it - see our 'nice letters' page!).
Sincerely, Karene.
"It is not enough to conquer; one must learn to seduce." (Voltaire) - "Desire is the essence of a man." (Spinoza)

Evolution & Puberty: Recent Trends of Early Menstruation & our Evolutionary Past
From the essay: 'Professors Mark Hanson and Peter Gluckman published their review of the evolution of puberty in Trends in Endocrinology and Metabolism (Jan. 2006). The authors discuss the various adaptive mechanisms that may influence the early or late onset of puberty and menstruation in human beings, and argue that modern life has allowed a return to the developmental pattern evolved for hunter-gatherer societies.
Over the past 100 years there has been a marked trend for a reduction in the age of menarche. In populations of Northern European origin, the age of menarche is now approximately three years earlier than it was 100 years ago. The trend, write Hanson and Gluckman, “is generally interpreted as being a reflection of improved nutrition and reduced infection in childhood over the past two centuries”. Significantly, the influence of such environmental factors is delimited – puberty will not continue to arrive ever earlier in childhood. The age at which it will ‘naturally’ occur is evolutionarily hard-wired.
The authors write: “We propose that human females evolved to enter puberty at a relatively young age and progressed to reproductive competence at 11-13 years of age. This would have matched the degree of psychosocial maturation necessary to function as an adult in Paleolithic society based on small groups of hunter-gatherers.
.. For the first time in our evolutionary history, biological puberty in females significantly precedes, rather than being matched to, the age of successful functioning as an adult. This mismatch between the age of biological and psychosocial maturation constitutes a fundamental issue for modern society. Our social structures have been developed in the expectation of longer childhood, prolonged education and training, and later reproductive competence. This emerging mismatch creates fundamental pressures on contemporary adolescents and on how they live in society.”

Analyse
any human emotion, no matter how far it may be removed from the sphere of
sex, and you are sure to discover somewhere the primal impulse, to which
life owes its perpetuation. ... The primitive stages can always be re-established;
the primitive mind is, in the fullest meaning of the word, imperishable.
... Mans most disagreeable habits and idiosyncrasies, his deceit, his cowardice,
his lack of reverence, are engendered by his incomplete adjustment to a
complicated civilisation. It is the result of the conflict between our instincts
and our culture. (Sigmund Freud)

The free, unhampered exchange of ideas and scientific conclusions is necessary for the sound development of science, as it is in all spheres of cultural life. ... Only the individual can think, and thereby create new values for society, nay, even set up new moral standards to which the life of the community conforms.
(Albert Einstein)
