Aside from the few that found a very still pond and figured it was worth looking at.

    Very curious that you thought about the fact that early humans had never seen their own assholes, as opposed to their faces.

          It would be common to see still water and your own reflection

          Less common that someone would position themselves in such a way they can see their asshole clearly in it without disturbing the surface.

          What do I know? Maybe they made little foot jetties just so they could stand above the water and gaze wistfully in into their own rectums on still days?
