Yeah it feels like a weird way to say that humans still have vestigial signs of a cloaca. It’s understood that evolutionary ancestors did, so humans’ ancestors would need to have separated the functions during their evolution… I guess the news is that there is still genetic evidence even today.
Alternatively, creationists can take this as a sign a creator considers butt stuff to be natural sex also 👍

So very early in our development we’re just an asshole. Some people apparently never make it past this stage.
