The Distribution of Penis Length

How long is the average penis?  This is a question that has plagued mankind since time immemorial.  In this blog entry, I will tackle the question head on.  To begin, it is useful to know a little history about the penis of the modern man.

In proportion to body size, Homo sapiens have one of the largest penises in the animal kingdom.  Anthropologists contend that the penises of our ancestors were proportionally smaller.  The most common theories suggest that penis length began to increase when our ancestors began walking upright, on two legs.  Animals must exert force on the ground to propel themselves forward.  Since the center of mass for quadrupeds is in front of their hind limbs, their hips are positioned to allow backward movement of the limbs, which produces an equal and opposite, and largely horizontal, force.
