Please note: during the cave art story, we often refer to ‘female genitalia’ as ‘vagina’. Technically the external female genitalia – which the story concerns – is the ‘vulva’, and ‘vagina’ refers to internal genitalia. We were using common language to make the story accessible and avoid confusion. And to avoid Volvo jokes.
Kate Naughton is a geneticist and marine biologist.
