They have, this is a common misconception.

Perhaps "dropped" would have been a better word, pedant.

That's still wrong, too. They are there at birth.

They are there at birth but that doesn't make me wrong. Baby balls don't hang the way they do after puberty.

Testicles descend between 3 to 6 months old commonly and sometimes not at all and they have to go in and pull them down. I know because they had to do it to a cousin of mine.

Actually you're wrong. What you say is true for the 3% of full term males that didn't have them fully descended at birth. You googled info about undescended testicles, not what's the normal occurrence.

https://www.health.harvard.edu/a_to_z/undescended-testicle-a-to-z

"In 30% of premature and approximately 3% of full-term male infants, one or both of the testicles have not completed their descent at the time of birth. Most of these will then descend spontaneously during the first three to six months of life."

So, for 70% of premature and 97% of full term males they are there at birth like I stated.
