It’s not like large breasts are more common than not large (unless you mean anything larger than nothing at all). I suspect there was a random mutation, and it didn’t hurt their reproduction chances but it didn’t help either. So you end up with a variety of breast sizes.

For some reason, only one ape species ever has non-small breasts. You never get large breasted gorillas, chimpanzees or bonobos even though they share 98% of their DNA with us. What is it about humans that means that that trait was evolutionarily advantageous? It’s obviously a feature with significant disadvantages, so what is the advantage that offsets that for humans in a way that it doesn’t for other great apes?

Do gorillas, chimpanzees, or Bonobos mate face-to-face, or doggy style?

If I had to guess, yes

For bonobos, a whole variety of ways and very frequently.

This might be 100% bullshit but an interesting theory nonetheless.
Gorliias, chimpanzees and bonobos walk around at butt height and see how strong a potential partner is by their butts. Since we started walking upright boobs are closer to eye level and have eveloved to resemble butts.
