{until the next adaptation comes along and makes big balls irrelvant, and 
chimps are pushed aside the evolutionary path for what comes next.}

My point about the big balls growing bigger was that at some temporal 
stage, there exists an equilibrium between having a particularly 
well-suited size balls for optimal reproduction and being able to drag 
those balls around.  The bell curve peak shows where peak ball size 
occurs, with bigger ball size detracting from the chimps ability to 
perform other life-duties, like food-gathering, tool-making, etc. and 
smaller ball size detracting from the chimps ability to spit out the most 
sperm, therefore reproducing to a lesser extent.  

This equilibrium, and its corresponding bell curve, provides insight to 
what we define as a 'species'.
