I don't know why you would assume 3-4 inches is a good length.
Of course, in relation to the size of the average australopithecine,
one might argue that an apith with 3-4 inches was proportionately
quite well endowed -- certainly endowed beyond the anatomical
requirements for fertilization; however, I question your assertion,
"long enough...female". It has been well documented that in humans
(and I believe this can be applied to apiths) length is a relatively
insignificant factor, in terms of mechanics. Psychologically, of course,
the situation may be quite different. Are you asserting that apiths
had the same preoccupation with length that many humans do?
