Science just dropped a truth bomb that’s gonna make you clench your cheeks. Some eggheads in lab coats decided to get down and dirty with the, ahem, nether regions of ancient critters. Turns out, your precious posterior might have had a very different job description back in the day.

These brainiacs were particularly fascinated by a marine worm called Xenoturbella bocki – bless you if you can pronounce that – which, in a truly disgusting display of efficiency, only has ONE hole for both eating and, well, you get the picture. Yes, this means it poops out of its mouth. Let that sink in.
The, uh, groundbreaking theory is that the anus, that glorious gateway to your internal waste management system, might have evolved from a hole that was originally designed to, shall we say, eject sperm.
