+116 The fact that testicles are located externally, where they are extremely sensitive and vulnerable, is either an evolutionary misstep or divine oversight, amirite?

That's evolution/God's problem to solve

True. Some animals have evolved internal ones, but the fact that most still have external ones shows that evolution doesn't make consummate structures, just good-enough ones. Pun intended

Pun appreciated. It could also show that macro-evolution is just too slow of process to observe in a life span.

It's also possible that external testicles lead to increased sensitivity in the scrotum region, which lead to more enjoyable sexual intercourse, which lead to increased sex and reproduction among people with external testicles. A hypothesis I'd love to test with you my good friend

Great, we have a study!

Ignoring the testicles, which are displaced internal organs, the number of touch-sensitive nerves in the genital region is identical between the sexes, just arranged differently.

True, human sperm thrive at a temperature slightly lower than the human core body temperature. Of course, this leaves me wondering why we didn't evolve sperm that are more agreeable.

They were put there so humans could make cups.

It's so that your sperm doesn't get roasted

Not sure whether to thank evolution or God but, on behalf of all women & girls I would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for the fact that the testicles are located externally & are extremely sensitive & vulnerable.
