    My favorite thing is when archaeologists dig up female statues with big breasts and wide hips and call them evidence for a “cult of fertility”. I guess that sounds more sciencey than “porn”.

      I actually heard a very interesting hypothesis about those statues, which I find compelling- pregnant women carved them as self-portraits, done by looking downward at their bodies, hence the odd proportions.

      But sure, maybe porn. I can accept that too. We will probably never know.
