A review of cross-species and cross-cultural research suggests that, throughout most of human behavioral evolution, children may have been enlightened as to the facts of life by observing parental intercourse and then imitating it in sexual rehearsal play in the context of a continuously rising curve of sexual desire and sexual knowledge throughout childhood. Concealment of the primal scene and prohibition of cross-generational, bisexual, and 'polymorphously perverse' childhood sex play may be of relatively recent origin in human cultural evolution, buttressed by the instillation of culturally acquired sexual disgust in sexually conservative cultures. Looking at the primal scene in cross-species and cross-cultural perspectives utilizing the adaptationist framework of contemporary evolutionary biology can challenge normative assumptions that may still be embedded in psychoanalytic theories of species-wide psychosexual development.
一项跨物种和跨文化研究综述表明，在人类行为进化的大部分时间里，儿童可能通过观察父母的性交行为，然后在整个童年时期性欲和性知识不断上升的背景下，在性预演游戏中模仿这种行为，从而了解生命的事实。对原初场景的隐瞒以及对跨代、双性恋和“多形态性变态”的童年性游戏的禁止，在人类文化进化中可能是相对较新的起源，在性保守文化中通过灌输文化习得的性厌恶而得到强化。利用当代进化生物学的适应主义框架，从跨物种和跨文化的角度审视原初场景，可能会挑战那些仍可能嵌入全物种性心理发展精神分析理论中的规范性假设。
