We know how the evil scientists are always trying to fill up our children's heads with horrible nonsensical ideas such as EVIL-loution.
Well, now the scientists themselves are all but admitting that evolution is a truly SATANIC process:
Those spots help this fish get oral sex.
As is the case in many fish species, the sight of a brightly coloured male somehow triggers females with ripe eggs to start releasing them. But in cichlids, there is a twist. Females hold their eggs in their mouths and incubate them there after fertilisation - a behaviour that is thought to have evolved to protect the eggs from predators.
As soon as a female has spawned her eggs, she collects them up in her mouth. Normally, sperm released into the water by a male nearby will then fertilise the eggs.
But males of certain cichlid species in east Africa have evolved a way to increase the odds that females take up their sperm. Oval yellow markings resembling the eggs are found on the anal or pelvic fins. When a female approaches the male, she thinks she sees an egg on its fin, so tries to vacuum it up in her mouth - and get a mouthful of sperm from the canny male in the process.
Oh please Lord, save us from such sin! There are those of us who are weak and struggling and they certainly don't need to be exposed to such sinful concepts as the one talked about above!
Poor June Gordon ,who I think is shown below:

Clearly she is nearing sin in this state! We must remind her and others like her that she is a Child of the Living God and not no relative of some urine bathing monkey:
(PhysOrg.com) -- Male capuchin monkeys have been observed to urinate on their hands and then rub the urine vigorously into their fur, and now a new study by scientists in Texas suggests the behavior signals their availability to females, and the females find the smell of the urine-soaked fur attractive.
