article_snippet.sent: Human males may be preoccupied by the size of Human males penis, but it is one of the largest in the primate kingdom.
article_snippet.sent: An evolutionary biologist has compared the sizes of genitals of humans to gorillas and apes to look at why there is such a discrepancy between the species.
article_snippet.sent: The relative size of the male reproductive organs across the species was discussed by evolutionary biologist Darren Curnoe in Darren Curnoe latest 'How Did We Get Here?' video series for the University of New South Wales, Australia.
article_snippet.sent: Gorillas have small penises and small testicles, while chimps have medium-sized penises and large testicles.
article_snippet.sent: By comparison, human males have the longest penis and medium-sized testicles. '
article_snippet.sent: Amazingly the size of the reproductive organs, especially the testicles, are a reflection of how the apes are organised socially,' explained evolutionary biologist Darren Curnoe. '
article_snippet.sent: It all comes down to the amount of competition the chimps, and the amount of competition the chimps sperm, have when the amount of competition the chimps mate with females.'
article_snippet.sent: But evolutionary biologist Darren Curnoe said there wasn't a discernible reason why there is so much variation in penis size between humans and great apes.
