This is really embarrassingly stupid, but when I was young (really old enough to know better though!) I noticed that many older women had breasts which had begun to... sag. Since I knew some animals had their teats closer to the belly than the chest (like cows) I seriously concluded I had found one more proof of evolution, i.e. that past generations were physically more akin to animals in this one area. I wonder why-- I wasn't usually nearly so dumb!
