Do we know anything about when humans or Neanderthals started having sex in missionary (or other) positions rather than just the “doggy style” position that other animals (presumably including apes?) have sex in? Could the missionary sex have contributed to the evolutionary pressure for breast permanence? Or could the breast permanence have contributed to the origin of missionary-position sex?
Regarding weening, lactose-tolerance, and breast permanence: I suspect this is a red herring because A) the animal milk humans drink even after they’ve stopped drinking their mothers’ milk is equally available regardless of human breast size, B) there’s no lactose-tolerance issue for mothers concerning their own milk, and C) the presence of breasts doesn’t indicate the availability of milk in any case.
(Also: who the devil is Sydney Sweeney and since when was Dolly Parton deprecated as the ISO-approved figurehead for mammalogical research? This is nearly as disorienting as when Pluto stopped being a planet.)

Not sure about common chimps, but bonobos definitely have sex in missionary position (and other positions).
I think gorillas do as well. These ideas have never made sense to me.
