Re: The stunning fossil that proves animals had 'sex for fun' 380 million years ago

this story makes no sense. How on earth do they know they had sex for fun. They found a vertabrate that was killed just before it was due to give birth to live babies. How does that translate to them having sex for fun ? Something I guess to do with that they spawned in water and the eggs were fertilised externally and in this case the eggs were fertilised internally - but still doesnt say its fun does it?

I shouldnt think so much.
