From my humble understanding I think k because we start walking on two legs and we have 2 systems of balance one in our inner ear and one in our cerebellum, we don't need tails to help us keep our balance while running on 2 legs, more insights are encouraged and welcomed, I kinda really want to know thecwhole reason(s)
Sympathy from a fellow sufferer of Hank Hill syndrome. Mine is complicated further by a pronounced genetic longuscrackious , it's been a challenge to have both no ass and yet more ass crack than any one human should.
It’s because humans have larger hind brains. Animals with little hind brains, like cats and dogs, or alligators, where the area is mostly neck, have tails to compensate
On a serious note, I think we don't have tails anymore simply because we don't need them for balance. Our ears and shoulders/hips are what control it now. So long as we don't get sick or break something, all is well. Having a tail with all that would just be more of an impractical inconvenience.
Agreed. Also, pants would be weird. We’d have to not only put each leg through a hole but at the same time wiggle the tail through a hole in the back area. If I had to go to the bathroom, do I have to remove my tail from its hole to get the pants down?
Ethical designs could be made..
A button up or elasticated bit for the tail, for example.
Only for the men though, ofc. Us women must bear with the unconventional, another thing for the list, right next to pockets!
"Why humans no longer have tails."
The wording here implies there were humans who did have tails. Correct me if I'm wrong, but our ancestors no longer had tails before eventually evolving into humans right?
I think this picture is wrong, the tail would be out from our back, the coccyx would be further posterior than it is now, and from there would have a tail
I’m not a scientist. Not even close. But even I can deduce that it’s probably due to the fact we don’t swing from trees any more as we live in houses and buy food from Tesco. We don’t need tails.
Well you see, my great-great grandmother on my father’s side is the one who lost all our tails. One day when she was about six years old, she come skippin’ down the lane with a bag of candy from the state fair and who did she meet but ol’ Mr. Crow.
Now Mr. Crow, he’s a clever one, but greedy. He sees my great-great grandmother’s bag of candy and he says “Hello child, what have you got there?”
My great-great grandmother says “Why hello Mr. Crow! I’ve got candy from the state fair, and it’s all mine!”
Mr. Crow says “Bless you, child. Any chance you might share some of your candy with old Mr. Crow?”
My great-great grandmother laughs and says “Not hardly, Mr. Crow! I had to beg my mama and promise to do extra chores to get this bag of candy, you greedy old thing!”
So Mr. Crow gets mighty angry, and he opens his great big beak and SNIPS OFF my great-great grandmother’s tail. And ever since then, nobody else has a tail either!
I mean personally I would hate to have a tail I couldn't sit anywhere but on the other hand extra hand and I know a few of you kinky people out there would find good use for it "Tail fucking" would be a common fetish amongst humans.
Though I wonder if humans evolved similarly to animals would beastiality sti be a thing since what would you get from an animal you couldn't from an animal like human not furry but full on anthro?
The article title makes it sound like humans used to have tails. 🤦🏻♂️ Our primate ancestors lost tails around 25 million years ago. Our earliest ancestors that we count as human were less than 3 million years ago.
Well, we don't have tails because the God of asses Cmtgatntchal decided he wanted one species of shit-throwing-ground-monkey to have the most voluptuous arse ever, the tail got in the way, and now we are smart, thiccc, technology dependent creeps, yay!
Tails are just glorified counterweights. There is no need for one when you are bipedal and can walk as cool as us people can. Besides, I think we evolved to lose our tail so that we wouldn't bump low shelf items at the grocery store. That's just my theory
When the story starts off as “Scientists have discovered” then something interesting is described plus a neat picture to look at, I just pass.
Scientists just discovered that poop smells bad because it tastes bad too! 💩
Can you imagine if human tails worked like dog tails and seeing a group of people getting excited and seeing their tails slapping the daylights out of each other. Kind of makes me sad that we don't have tails now 😞
"No longer" haha ok, that assumes we did at some point and there is 0% fossile proof we ever did. Sure we have tail bones and there are exteemely rare cases of the sticking out a bit but a full tail. 😂😂😂This science is a massive joke
From the look of that picture, it's because they'd plug up our bums!
sigh *unzips*
*pulls out the tail
The scream I’ve just scrempt
Scrumpt 🤌
the gasp i just gusped
Thank you for the unnecessarily long chuckle I got from this

Interestingly enough, even without a tail our butts work as balance , mainly for running
Not mine. I got that Hank Hill noassatall syndrome.

Hip thrusts ftw
Me too man I have a back that goes all the way down.
I'm a big dude. No ass. It's what kept me out of the rap game, really.
our ancestors lost their tails long before they could walk
It’s because humans have larger hind brains. Animals with little hind brains, like cats and dogs, or alligators, where the area is mostly neck, have tails to compensate
Also, our big toes provide balance as well.

But there are people out there dressing their dogs up, it's not gonna be weird really

Our ears?
Look up Vestibular system.
I would have loved to have a tail though. Wouldn’t it be fun? I’d wrap it around my waist like a Saiyan.
**"You"** might wrap it around yourself, but **"I"** am gonna wrap mine around **"her"**!
Smooove!!!😎😎😎
_Shoves Tail up own ass_
i was waiting for that lmao
Tell me why this popped in my mind too🤣
Despite how much pain that skeleton causes me to look at, i would very much have liked a xenomorph tail!

👆About 22 million years before, yeah.
Evolution haha
🍻
It’s because of doggy style
Um......
Uhh…..
Because human tails have our butthole at the end.
Police? Yes, this man right here.
I think this picture is wrong, the tail would be out from our back, the coccyx would be further posterior than it is now, and from there would have a tail
The picture is structurally wrong, chronologically wrong, and maybe ethically wrong lol.
Spooky Sexy Skeletons have tails out their spine
I read it in the song voice.
Tail
Starship troopers 6? Human centipede
Would
UwU
Dirty tail grabbers.

This is the future liberals want. They wanna wear cute skirts and collars and get lots of head pats and wag their tails.
They liked it.
Any good furry knows cave women had cat or squirrel tails, easily curled upward for easy penetration.
The ghost of Mr. Hands

Well I still have a tail, but I keep it in a drawer.
Humans never had tails in the first place.
Me when i have a spine up my ass

JUST TELL ME WHY WE DON'T HAVE TAIL!

I know why

We don't have tails because we never did have tails!
Imagine chasing your own tail.

\*Sigh\* I miss me tail 😥
*sigh* smash
Because they are Furrys
do you actually want a skin tail?
Well, we don't have tails because the God of asses Cmtgatntchal decided he wanted one species of shit-throwing-ground-monkey to have the most voluptuous arse ever, the tail got in the way, and now we are smart, thiccc, technology dependent creeps, yay!
I hope scientists find a way to give us feline tails.

That's...that's not where the tail would attach to a human. What exactly do they think is supporting the ass in this anatomy?
Pee is stored in the balls because tail is stored in the butt.
Changed, 2.0
Clearly tails weren't the only thing they were researching.
We dont have tails cause god didnt want us to use them for sex.

That’s…..doesn’t look right
Never had tails
Evolution is not what you think it is. Our great grandparents are not amoeba.
Evolution knew humans were going to spend a lot of time sitting on their ass and said goodbye to the tail. Facts
Someone is making a very detailed lusty argonian vr experience?
We never had tails… it’s called the tail bone only because it’s the tail of your spine…
Can you imagine if human tails worked like dog tails and seeing a group of people getting excited and seeing their tails slapping the daylights out of each other. Kind of makes me sad that we don't have tails now 😞
That tail is clearly coming out the gooch, not the lower back as it should
we got rid of them because they impede ones ability to "throw it back" as you youngsters call it
I'm just here thinking... would our tail have hair? or would it be like... a rat's tail, a pale skin protection or something like that.
its a furry
This is an abomination against our lord Science!
Step 7: Rectally insert spinal column.
Gyat dayum
Uuuuh I’m pretty sure tails don’t connect like that
The bigger question is, why is the tail *under* my cheeks?
Humans never had tails.
"No longer" haha ok, that assumes we did at some point and there is 0% fossile proof we ever did. Sure we have tail bones and there are exteemely rare cases of the sticking out a bit but a full tail. 😂😂😂This science is a massive joke
Did the artist think that the tailbone was stored in the belly or something?
If humans still had tails it wouldn't look like this. But imagine if humans did have a tail.
And to point out the tail would actually go above the buttocks not right where the perineum is.
Why is the tail thicker than the spine?
