what are the explainations fro why human sperm cells would need to be stored at
a temperature slightly lower than body temperature? that's what the scrotum is
for, correct? - to keep the sperm away from the heat of the body (unless it's
too cold). it doesn't seem to make sense why we would evolve that way, i mean,
all the female parts evolved internally. just got to thinking about it today...

                                            b.g.
