Ancient Scottish fish 'first to have sex'
Scientists believe they have discovered the origin of copulation.
An international team of researchers says a fish called Microbrachius dicki is the first-known animal to stop reproducing by spawning and instead mate by having sex.
The primitive bony fish, which was about 8cm long, lived in ancient lakes about 385 million years ago in what is now Scotland.

"Microbrachius dicki" actually translates as "Small Arm Dick" - or, more colloquially, "A cock like a baby's arm holding an apple!"

Re: Ancient Scottish fish 'first to have sex'
I thought that worms had sex long before there were fish.
But I suppose that's modern earthworms. I don't know how marine worms did it.
