I really don’t understand how putting a sensitive internal organ on the outside of the body to better control temperature was the easier path than sperm that can tolerate being like 2 degrees warmer
Oh yeah once it happened I understand why it stayed. But sperm producing organs started inside, so I would’ve expected slight preferences for temperature by sperm would be easier to change than moving an organ outside.

It was just the first solution to be good enough

They probably moved outside when we evolved from cold-blooded to warm-blooded, and body heat was too much for the current design.
