Ultimately both configurations allowed mammals to scamper their way across the globe and into the modern day.
And in placentals, the testicles went to the back with the vas deferens looping around the ureter:
A hypothesis for why these sacks evolved in the first place has to do with the way mammals run around. Mammals tend to run in a way that causes the spine to arch and curl forwards, and it’s possible this motion may have caused trauma to the testes, reducing their fitness.
Mammals, like other vertebrates started out with internal testes located near their kidneys, kinda like this:
