Scientists in Scotland believe that they have found the world's oldest genitalia, the fossilized remains of a harvestman insect - commonly known as a Daddy-Long-Legs - with a penis nearly two-thirds of its entire body length. This new find will be over 300 million years older than the current oldest penis record holder, which dates back around 100 million years. It belongs to a crustacean known as an ostracod that measures just 1 mm across.
