What were the first animals to have sex?


Grim Reaper 6

Recommended Posts

Animals have been sexually reproducing since they evolved, so the first animals to have sex were the first animals to exist. Researchers are still searching for direct evidence of the first animals, but they likely emerged within the last 800 million years, lived in the ocean and looked like sponges. 

The sponges in our oceans today reproduce sexually by ejecting sperm and egg cells into the water, which combine to form new sponge larvae, according to the Exploring Our Fluid Earth website hosted by the University of Hawaii..

But while ancient sponges may have been among the first animals to reproduce sexually, the act itself long predates them. That's because life forms were having sex before animals came onto the scene. .
