The more you look, the more butt stuff you see.
As a matter of fact, it wouldn’t be wrong to start calling him Hieronymus “Butt Stuff” Bosch.
As I understand it, there are actual brain regions measured by science, specifically designed to detect imagery of faces and phalluses… part of why we can see both things almost anywhere we look.
But… I strongly suspect there’s a buttocks / boobies analogue. Why? Well, for one thing, a leading theory as to why womens’ breasts in sapiens ballooned so dramatically to resemble something like buttocks was because yeah, that was a major source of male attraction to women. And of course, not to be outdone, women evidently selected men with larger and larger phalluses over the generations, a swift departure from the other ‘great apes,’ whose units are tinier, by comparison.
Now where did I first learn all this? College biology and genetics, of course. 😅
The flowers got me.
I want to know what the butt music sounds like.
It was the birth of acid house
(1490-1510)
Just to confirm, it really did take him 20yrs to complete this one? oO
That’s the best estimate we have, my understanding is they are not 100% sure when he started.
