Aside from the few that found a very still pond and figured it was worth looking at.

    It’s funny you say that, because I was just watching a video of great apes looking at themselves in a mirror that scientists set up in the jungle. Once they got over the fear and realized they were seeing themselves, one of the things multiple apes did was look at their assholes.

      They tried to look at every part of their body. Yes, this includes the asshole.

        The video I was watching they were very specifically looking at their assholes. They were putting their leg up on the mirror to get a better view

          It would be common to see still water and your own reflection

          Less common that someone would position themselves in such a way they can see their asshole clearly in it without disturbing the surface.

          What do I know? Maybe they made little foot jetties just so they could stand above the water and gaze wistfully in into their own rectums on still days?

    Even after mirrors were invented, I still haven’t seen mine…

    I’ve seen my own asshole, it’s not a particularly interesting view. I much prefer seeing someone else’s.

    I wonder if a human back then used the reflection from water at a lake or pond to see what their asshole looked like.

      Remember that the first mirrors were made from metal and polished volcanic glass.

      Which means mirrors or mirror substitutes were always available to us even before we made metal tools as long as we could source obsidian. Granted you’d have to actually live near an active volcano for the latter.

      However you aren’t wrong! A cheap way to make “mirrors” in the old time is to just take a flat bowl with mud lining the bottom and have water on top. This was used when volcanic rock of polished stone/metal was not readily available!
