Some scientists have even claimed that a significant transformation is occurring in our bodies, following the release of their studies.
Recent data suggests that penis size is indeed increasing, potentially reaching an average of 8.5 inches by the century’s end.
However, there’s more to this narrative, which veers into the unexpected.
Specialists anticipate the advent of built-in contraception and automated implants, presenting possibilities akin to a cinematic storyline.
Simon Underdown, a professor of biological anthropology at Oxford Brookes University, shared with the Daily Mail: “If there is enough demand, driven by fashion or societal trends, for tweaking bits of the body then we’re probably not that far away from being able to genetically do that.
“That’s what makes humans really interesting — we’re close to the point at which we can mess about with biological processes because we want to rather than there being a strong biological selective pressure.”
Studies have shown a 25 percent increase in the average erect penis length from 1992 to 2021.
In the early 1990s, the average erect penis measured 4.8 inches.
Dr. Michael Eisenberg, the lead author of the recent study, remarked: “If we’re seeing this fast of a change, it means that something powerful is happening to our bodies.”
While this research focuses on male anatomy, experts suggest that larger penis sizes could also impact the female anatomy.
Kris Kovarovic, from Durham University’s anthropology department, noted to the Daily Mail: “That would definitely have a negative impact on reproductive success – and smaller penises would likely be selected for.”
Dr. Emily Willingham, who authored ‘Phallacy: Life Lessons from the Animal Penis’, has also discussed these fascinating results.
“We went our separate evolutionary, genetic and behavioral ways from our closest living relatives at least six million years ago.
“We are on our own and are our own lonely species, but what’s clear is that in shaping us, nature favored our brains over … well, a lot of other things.”
