A lot of cultures understood that semen in vagina produces baby. I've heard the Aborigine people of Australia didn't see insemination as the cause of pregnancy but rather a way to get pregnant faster. And before racists come in and shit on Abos, the Greeks believed you could get pregnant from eating bean seeds.
hunter gatherers think it is a magical substance, agrarian peoples equivalated it with seeds

You know, in german the word Samen means seed. Cum is the seed you plant in a fertile ground (the lady), then something grows out of it. I'm pretty sure that relation has been obvious to every more or less advanced civilization.

Abos are a racial sub group, Greeks are an ethnic subgroup
Nice attempt at virtue signalling though, so brave.
