I pondered this a few moments ago while taking a piss in the bathroom with another person peeing loudly in the stall next to me.

Is there a scientific explanation on why animal psychology and instincts make it so animals feel they mark their territory with urine?

After answering that my other thought was, If most mammals behave like this then why don't humans, in the slightest bit think this way instinctively?

Our piss comes in the form of nukes.

I think we still have vestigial remnants to some extent.

We turn our nose away from foul smelling feces. It works much like an indicator for us to stay back.

That aside, we have other methods we have developed to mark our territory. Most notably, language.

we do mark our territory, just not with urine. take gang graffiti for example.

Isn't it interesting that we developed so far that we have evolved from it? So interesting.

We're just good at it.

Mowing our lawn and that whole Register of Deeds thing. We mark our territory through expression and legal recourse.

I just mark my territory with my cum.

I wonder if uring marking territory is why some men feel uncomfortable peeing in urinals... it's not their territory.
