Maybe it's a point in favour of intelligent design that God put the cliteris on the outside of the woman. (Else we'd all be sporting dongs dragging along the ground by now).

would also question how much input the female would have had regarding her sexual partners 500k yrs ago. I would think that it would have been much less than it is today.
I'm not so sure about that - I've never really gone with the caveman dragging the woman by the hair to his cave thing. If we accept that H. sapiens developed as social animals, rape isn't really a great tactic.
But another thing is the fact that the clitoris is the most innovated area of a woman's entire body, it has almost twice as many nerve ending as the penis but is a tiny fraction of the size. It's entire purpose appears to be to provide pleasure to the woman during sex. This indicates to me that it's there because the woman needs to consent - otherwise why have it?

I am not sure that rape is the right word. Does a dog rape a bitch that is in heat?
Does the bitch object?
I have a feeling that we have a fairly naive view of how sex works in the wild.
I know a while back, the deer rut was seen as a battle between dominant male stags with the one with the biggest er, antlers, winning the hareem. The female was seen as passive, accepting the winning stag as a mate.
We had a 'just so' explanation for it - the most successful stag was the fittest, so his genes got passed on. Now it seems that the females are rather more canny than that, often nipping out of the rut to mate with the loser or a pssing young buck while the dominant stag's back is turned.
Complicated stuff, sex.
