I don't really remember stripping off my pants and underwear. I do vaguely recall helping her out of her pants and thermal underwear because I took a very deep breath when her clean-shaven pussy was revealed. I remember thinking that it was the most magnificent thing I had ever seen.

Unfortunately for me and for you, dear readers, the back of an antique vehicle crammed full of research equipment and other supplies, is not the place where lengthy foreplay can be enjoyed. Not to mention the fact that it was close to minus thirty degrees outside the Cat and barely above freezing inside the machine.

April played with my erection for several seconds before my groans of pleasure told her that I was more than ready. We spread our parkas on the steel floor and I lay down on my back. She straddled me with a knowing smile and slid my cock into her very warm hole. There is no way to accurately describe the feeling of sliding your rock hard cock into a hot, tight pussy for the very first time.

I am certain the groan I released when she slid all the way down and our groins met could have been heard over the winds and through the steel walls of the dome and Cat. It must have felt very good for her too because she let out an almost animal growl and started riding me as hard as she could. Her humping increased in speed when I reached up and grabbed one of her wonderful breasts in each hand and began massaging her nipples.

Now I wish I could say that she rode me for hours before I released what seemed like years of sperm into her body, but I can't. I doubt I lasted more than ten minutes before I felt my balls tightening up and before I could even blurt out a warning, I was spewing what felt like gallons of cum inside of her. (Of course, the average male only ejaculates about a tenth of a teaspoon of sperm during orgasm, but I am sure that you can understand that my scientific objectivity had gone even further south than we currently were.)

Even with my limited experience with sex, I could tell that she had not cum yet and was about to apologize when she dismounted and crawled between my legs. The next thing I knew, I was getting my very first blowjob. She slowly began to lick up and down my shaft, cleaning it of all of our combined fluids. Next, she moved even further down and cleaned off my balls, lovingly taking each one into her mouth and cleaning it slowly. This whole time, she is looking up at me with those blue eyes to see my reactions.

I am sure that she saw a lot because I was twisting and groaning while trying to watch everything that she did. She reached up and took one of my hands to place on her head. I understood what she wanted and began gently moving her head up and down as she swallowed my entire shaft. From the grunts and happy moans that she was making, I was certain that she was enjoying this almost as much as I was.

Just when I seemed like I was going to explode, she stopped what she was doing and straddled me once again. God, if I had thought that she was hot and wet before, the heat I experienced when I reentered her was indescribable. I had felt certain that I was about to explode when she was sucking me, but the moment I entered her again, the impending need to come seemed to fade. I was still rock hard and my balls were definitely full, but I felt much more in control. I am happy to say that we fucked for at least a half hour with her achieving multiple screaming orgasms before I finally felt my balls tighten up again. This time, I didn't even think about warning her.

My hands came up to grab her hips, pulling down as hard as I could while I shoved up with all my might. We both groaned loud enough to drown out the howling winds outside as I spewed inside her. When we both had finally recovered from the amazing experience, she kissed me fiercely and whispered, "Maybe next time we can do it in my bunk. It's a lot more comfortable." With that, she got up and got dressed. She smiled at me, and then left me lying on the floor of the Cat with a contented grin on my face. I was convinced that nothing would ever top what I had just experienced. Well, it turned out I was wrong.

Chapter Two: Curiouser and Curiouser ------------------------------------

After two weeks, Asburg was comfortable enough with our findings to reveal them to the research team that was serving as our host. We all gathered in the communal dining room where I had set up the A/V equipment. The air of excitement was almost palatable. Our hosts were excited because they were about to find out what we had discovered and we were excited to finally have a chance to reveal the anthropological discovery of any millennia.

"When Galileo first observed the heavens, his discoveries changed the world forever. When the Manhattan Project first successfully split the atom, our boundaries of understanding were expanded a thousand fold. What we have discovered, with your help, is on par with those discoveries."

He paused and used the remote for the DVD player to call up an image of the humanoids encased in ice. "When we first began our observations, we believed that the creatures were either Homo Neanderthal or perhaps an early version of Cro-Magnon since both of these species of early man were very well traveled."

The image was replaced with a series of x-rays and ultra-sound images. "We have since discovered that neither of these assumptions was true. By cross referencing these images with known fossil remains, we have discovered that these creatures are actually Australopithecus."

The excited murmurs from some of our hosts indicated that at least a few of them had some grounding in the history of early man. Asburg nodded and continued. "As you may know, Australopithecus is one of the earliest species of true humanoids ever discovered. They evolved somewhere between three to four million years ago in Africa and thrived for over a million years."

April, my lover of the past two weeks, raised her hand. "Doctor Asburg, what would a species that evolved so long ago be doing in this region? I mean, even given the fact that the climate may have been much warmer, why would they leave Africa and make such a long trek? How would they have done it?"

"Probably over some sort of land bridge that existed at the time, just as early man is believed to have come to the United States via a land bridge. As for why, we are not sure at this point. Our best guess is some sort of natural disaster forced them from their natural home. Perhaps some sort of drought, disease, or even confrontation with later species of man could have caused it. We may know more once I get the specimens that we unearthed back to the university. For the next part of the discussion, I will turn the floor over to my colleague, Doctor Silverstein." (Oh, in case I hadn't mentioned it earlier, that's me, Aaron Silverstein.)

I got up and smiled at everyone just like we were at one of my lectures at the university. "Biologically speaking, these humanoids are astounding. Of course, we have no records of what Australopithecus was actually like except for very fragmented skeletons. It had always been assumed, because of their very small skulls that they were simple creatures. Evolutionary speaking, they were believed to be only a couple of rungs up from animals."

I called up an image of an ultra sound of the largest specimen's skull. "As you can see, the brains of these people were drastically different from anything we could have ever imagined. Even though it is smaller than a modern man's brain, it is much more convoluted and complex. We had believed that these early men had no pre-frontal lobes and thus would have been unable to process complex and abstract thoughts. It was the development of pre-frontal lobes in later species that would ultimately give Homo sapiens the edge they needed to essentially conquer the world. It is my belief that these structures located on the four 'corners' of the brain may well have served the same purpose as pre-frontal lobes do for us."

Charles Langdon, the leader of the expedition spoke up. "Are you trying to tell us that these creatures may have been as intelligent as we are?"

I shook my head. "No, no where near it. Their brains were still very small compared to ours, but they would have been much more intelligent than originally believed and much more complicated then we have ever dreamed. If Australopithecus had not died out, it may have well become the dominant life form on the planet instead of us." I let this sink in before continuing. "Even more amazing is their bodies. We were amazed to discover that all of the individuals were male. The three we unearthed were all closely related indicating probably that they were a father and sons. The ones remaining in the ice seem to be male as well, but we won't be absolutely sure until they are uncovered. We were also able to determine that the largest was only thirteen years old."

Langdon nodded. "But isn't it pretty certain that early man aged much quicker than modern man?"

I shook my head. "More recent research indicates that early man, at least the more modern forms such as Neanderthal actually lived much longer than originally thought and probably aged at a rate comparable to modern man. This was one of their downfalls because of their low birthrates. The creatures had to have aged, at least to adulthood, at an incredibly rapid rate. This would have given them a major advantage over later life forms if they had survived."

April grinned at me. "Well, I guess it's lucky for us that they got caught in a flash freeze. I kind of like being the dominant species."

Everyone laughed and I let it go on for a second before switching to an image of the smaller specimen. "The last significant discovery that we have for now is this. The youngest specimen is approximately seven years old." I let the image zoom in on the creature's genital area making everyone gasp. I understood that reaction. It wasn't every day you saw a seven year old with a thirteen-inch penis and balls that looked like they belonged on a bull.

"As near as I can determine, the boys mature sexually at an amazing rate. It is entirely possible that they can successfully impregnate a female almost from birth. This combined with their accelerated growth rate make this life form an incredible evolutionary attempt."

A few days later, Asburg announced that he was going to fly back to the university with the three specimens we had been working on. We had already made arrangements for more detailed tests to be done and some experts that Asburg felt he could trust to help with the studies. I was to remain behind with the assistants to finish removing the other specimens from the ice and preparing them for transportation. So Asburg packed him and the specimens onto the old airplane and flew off.

It was only about twelve hours later that we were hit with one of the worst storm in Antarctica's history. The domes were buffeted by winds of over sixty miles an hour and the temperature dropped to -75 degrees. We were forced to bring everything in from the Cat because the vehicle was in the very real danger of being blown about and dashed into a million pieces.

After that, it was simply a matter of waiting out the storm. We weren't too worried because the domes had been designed for such weather and we had plenty of supplies. I set up our lab in one of the storerooms and kept working. The others were also working, but they could literally work anywhere there was a tabletop since they were simply studying the visual records that we had already made of the creatures.

About three days into the storm, I was studying cell samples and blood samples from the specimens and made an amazing discovery. Almost by accident, I ran a test to determine any hormonal imbalances in the blood. I was shocked to discover that every single sample from every single specimen had the exact same chemical make up as a pregnant female.

I ran the test again several times to make sure of my findings and every single one of them came back the same. Every one of the apparently male specimens had been pregnant! Once I made this seemingly impossible realization, I went back and studied all of the x-rays and ultra-sounds we had made. They had not been made with the intent of determining pregnancy, but the ones that had been made of the chest, stomach and groin area did show several anomalies that we had not noticed the first time around. What I had assumed were distortions caused by the ice and the relatively cheap machines we were forced to use could very well be fetuses. These males had indeed been pregnant.

This prompted me to study the images even more intently. I noticed even more anomalies now that I was actually looking for them. It wasn't clear, but there did appear to an additional structure in the specimen's anal passage. It looked like there was a secondary passage attached to the anal course. Added to this was there seemed to be a sort of flap or trapdoor directly in between the connecting area. I didn't see anything that might be analogous to ovaries, but the images might not have been able to pick something so small or delicate. All of my observations seemed to indicate that these early men were fully functional hermaphrodites.

I revealed my discovery to April during our next love making session. She had been particularly energetic and I had needed something to slow her down enough for me to catch my breath. She gave me a look that was, at best, skeptical. "Are you insane? What are the odds of such a mutation cropping up? Even more importantly, what are the odds of it breeding true?"

I reached out and toyed with one her nipples, making her shiver. "First of all, I am not comfortable calling it a mutation. There are far too many variables that came out just right in these people. If you were talking about random mutation, you would be talking about dozens or more random mutations occurring at once to create them."

She giggled and gave me a mock serious look. "So what are you saying? Are you implying some superior force at work?"

One of the few things I had against April was the fact that she was an atheist. Being very religious and the proud recipient of a classical rabbinical education, I firmly believed in the existence of God and could see his hands in pretty much everything that I studied, but to placate the woman that I was coming to care for a great deal I simply shrugged. "Even the hardest nosed scientist has to admit, even if only to himself, that the universe and everything in it is just a little to orderly to have just happened. Everything from cellular division to planetary formation happens with almost clockwork precision. Everything happens exactly the way it has for billions of years. Call it God or call it celestial mechanics, everything happens for a reason."

"So what do you think the reason was for these proto-humans to evolve this way?"

"That's easy. Survival is the most common trait shared by all creatures. These people evolved or were given these traits to give them a chance to survive. I mean, think about it. Early maturation combined with allowing every single member of the clan to produce offspring gave them an incredible edge over other forms of early man."

I had regained my energy and my erection so I moved a little closer and slid back inside of her. She moaned in response and wrapped her arms around me. "If these early men had survived, they could easily have conquered the world."

I rolled on top of her and pulled her legs up so that they were pressed against my chest and began thrusting into her harder and harder. During our many sessions, I had gained some degree of skill and a lot more stamina and I fucked her for nearly half an hour before I erupted inside of her. She came with me and we both collapsed onto the bed.

"Well, I'm just glad that they didn't because I really like being who and what I am." She paused and a very serious look appeared on her face. "Aaron, I know that we started this as something fun and never intended anything to come out of it, but I think that something special is happening here."

I nodded and beeped her nose. "So how do you feel about converting to Judaism? I am pretty sure that I can get my folks to overlook the fact that you are the wrong race if you join the right side."

She chuckled and then turned serious again. "Aaron, I'm late."
