Looking at about half the comments here I think there is good evidence that evolution is running backwards.

This figurine represents an incredible part of the common heritage of all people. There is no way to understand the context in which it was made but given that “porn” is a modern concept it is not “porn”. It reflects sexuality for sure but sexuality as it has been throughout most of the history of humanity. Mystic and spiritual, tied to pleasure and procreation, natural and supernatural. Interwoven with life.

Over sexed nerds getting each other off with crude comments while drooling over internet images of digitally enhanced fantasy women are a new phenomenon. I doubt they will last as long as this and the other “Venus” figures.

Some things deserve respect simply because of what they are.
