Male Genital Morphology and Function: An Evolutionary Perspective

15 Apr 2007

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: The genitals are at the forefront of evolution. Advantageous features of genital form and function determine which individuals pass their genes to future generations. The male genitalia are primarily for sperm deposition but additional functions of the penis and its accessory structures are being identified. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The literature regarding genital evolution was reviewed. RESULTS: This...
