And for that matter, you have failed to show how your statement about the what the purpose of sex is,
FALSE. I provided links to supporting Facts. Your Denial of those Facts does not change their Factuality to the slightest degree.
and you forget to state how you knew that what you claim is true.
FACTS ARE FACTS. They are independent of any beliefs (or disbeliefs) in their validity; they can be Objectively Verified if they are true. YOU apparently don't seem to understand that there is often more than just one way to Objectively Verify a Fact.
You have not spoken to any pre-historic individuals, nor have you interviewed any witnesses.
NOT NECESSARY. Humans have been "anatomically modern" for about 200,000 years. That means the basic physical capabilities/characteristics of humans today are pretty much the same as in cave-man times (if anything we are probably wimpier and fatter now than back then). Human infants are just as helpless now as back then. Human females have "
concealed ovulation" now, just like back then --and that means, while most species
only have sex
when it is practically certain that reproduction can happen, for humans the situation is different.
Human females don't innately know when reproduction is possible (it is a learned thing).
If the primary purpose of human sex is reproduction, then why does that huge difference exist, from other animal species???
Also, I cannot claim anything I state is true or false.
THAT INCLUDES YOUR ARBITRARY DECLARATIONS ABOUT THE WRONGNESS OF WHAT OTHERS POST HERE, RIGHT? Do note that there are at least two significantly different types of "wrong". One is the opposite of "right" (per ethics), and the second is the opposite of "correct" (factuality). Nature cares nothing about the first type of "wrong" --remember the Law of the Jungle, "might makes right"? Are you aware that when praying mantises mate, the female
bites off the head of the male during the sex act, and eats it? You probably would consider that to be ethically wrong, but Nature doesn't care; it works to cause the male body to inject even more sperm into the female --and Nature only cares about what works.
ANY POSITIVE CLAIMS YOU POST AT A DEBATE SITE CAN BE EXPECTED BY OTHERS TO BE SUPPORTED WITH EVIDENCE. After all, it works both ways:
You are wrong. Your lifestyle is wrong. Your clothing choices are wrong. Your diet is wrong.
SEE? If you don't support your claims with evidence, then no one else needs to do that, either! The result is a devolution from Debate into a shouting match between 4-year-olds: "Is so!" ... "Is not!" ... "Is so!" ... "Is not!" ... So if you want to show others that you are more intellectual than a 4-year-old, you need to support your positive claims with evidence!
My intent is to cast doubt on the multitude of questionable untruths you have posted. I believe that I have done that.
YOU BELIEVE WRONG. As explained above. The mere claim that something is wrong is not-at-all proof, or even evidence, that that thing is wrong.
