How would things be if all humans grew a tail

Post Reply New Topic

A prehensile tail would be great for making certain no-one sits next to you. If you were to move your tail like it was a snake you could scare people!

Girls with prehensile tails and hands for feet are pretty hot

I dont know about tails on human bodies, but I like an idea I heard on the radio one time. The idea of equipping automobiles with mechanical tails as social semaphores in order to prevent road rage. The tail equipped cars could mimic the use of tails in animals to communicate to the other drivers. Like you could make your car drop its tail between its "legs" (wheels) to show "submission", and apologize for cutting off the other person. or like that.

There are rare cases where some humans are born with vestigial tails.

Now, if humans began growing tails en masse due to some nuclear fallout or something, it would lead to panic, fear, and ostracization of the tailed.

If humans developed tails naturally, it would be seen as normal. The tail-less would be the freaks.

We abandoned tails even before we left the trees.

Even our closest relatives, the apes, lack tails. So we musta given them up for some good reason.

Do you mean gibbons?

Gibbons and great apes (excluding humans).

Of the great apes only gibbons live predominately in trees

Gibbons aren't great apes. Great apes scientifically includes orangutans, gorillas, chimpanzees, and humans, and colloquially includes just the first three.

Sorry I mean't gibbons are apes so from an evolutionary perspective the ancestor of the gibbon and chimp was living in trees and may have lost their tail while living in an arboreal environment.

A human with antlers just went to jail for the January 6 fiasco. Some of his associates and followers should have horns and a pointy tail.

Technically they were horns. It was also a rather shabby outfit insulting decent shamans everywhere.

You've got one. It's just not long enough to extend outside your body. On rare occasions people are born with one that does but most have it surgically removed.

Exactly my point.

BTW: orangutans also "live predominantly in trees".

Yes. They were buffalo "horns", and not deer/antelop/elk/moose type branching type horns called "antlers".

But if he had thought of it he prolly woulda worn antlers!

Another reason to wear the kilt
