Panel 1
Man: Did you know that animal genitalia morphology is directly tied to social structure?
Woman: Gorillas have a harem-style structure. They're big and strong, but they have liiiittle tiny weiners.
Panel 2
Woman: More social and sexual primates, like chimps, humans and bonobos, have larger penises and smaller overall bodies. This is because competition over mating success happens via sex itself, instead of controlling access to sex.
Panel 3
Woman: The result is that over evolutionary time, a species that evolves to think love is better as a possible will develop gentle bodies and enormous dongs.
Man: That's weird. But why are we talking about it?
Woman: I've decided I believe in gentle evolution.

A two-character SMBC comic. A man and a woman talk in three panels. The man notes that animal genitalia morphology is directly tied to social structure. The woman explains that gorillas have a harem-style structure, being big and strong but having tiny penises, while more socially and sexually active primates like chimps, humans, and bonobos have larger penises and smaller bodies, because they compete for mating success through sex itself rather than by controlling access to sex. She concludes that over evolutionary time, a species that evolves toward gentleness and love develops gentle bodies and enormous genitalia. The man asks why they're talking about this, and she says she's decided she believes in 'gentle evolution.' The votey shows an oval shape next to ornate medieval illuminated-manuscript lettering reading 'Let the sexiest apes have huge dongs,' framing the idea as a grand decree.
