If human culture seems obsessed with sex lately, it's
nothing new. Archaeologists have discovered the oldest known artistic
representation of a woman — a carved ivory statue of a naked female, dating from
35,000 years ago.

"If there's one conclusion you want to draw from this,
it's that an <A href="http://www.livescience.com/health/090409-top10-sex-statistics.html">obsession
with sex</A> goes back at least 35,000 years," University of Cambridge
anthropologist Paul Mellars told <EM>LiveScience</EM>.
He was not involved in the new finding. "But if humans hadn’t been largely
obsessed with sex they wouldn’t have survived for the first 2 million years.
None of this is at all surprising."
