: What is the reason that we are the only animals who wipe our asses after taking a dump ?

587 viewsBiologyOther

So how come that our asses evolved to the point that in case somebody does not wipe properly they are gonna wake up with smelly fingers? All this extra effort while most animals are just going on with their lives after taking a dump without any rashes or ichyness. What are the evolutionairy benefits for this behaviour if there is any ?

our natural diet from thousands of years ago resulted in much less sloppy poo.  There was no need to wipe each time.  Just like wild horses in their natural habitat don’t need horseshoes.
