Were any of the food enviroments fermented?

That usually helps.

"Tiny organisms" like to tingle as much as we do. If a change of scene livens things up for them that's just icing on the cake.

I think that should be a biology tag.

How can you tell if a rotifer has a woodie?

As a multi-cellular organism, I would like to volunteer my organism for use in doing necessarily exhausting studies into the depths of this science, but of course not for more than 4 hours per experiment.

Don't have time to leave a detailed comment right now. It's Friday afternoon. I need to pick up a supply of steaks and gruel for the weekend. More when I get back on Monday.

Does this explain homosexual behavior? I mean, in an aggressive sexual environment some men will feel a need for more masculinity in their sons, and women, more femininity in their daughters (the asexual urge to reproduce being geared towards identity, and in post-sexualized animals as more masculine and more feminine). Combine this with the social fears regarding childbirth, and one's mind naturally turns towards non-reproductive sexuality.

All of this reproduction can wear a man out. Did I ever tell you that Genghis Khan has 15,000,000 living descendants. Now Ginghis was an organism that we can call the world's record reproducer.

I do know that strange beds prompt more sex.

perhaps it's that territorial marking instinct.

On the flip side day after day of hot days over 110 makes one pretty asexual.

Where do they sell "Environmental Variation", and does it require a Dr.'s presciption"?
