1O Unusual Facts About Females That Are Totally True.

S.O.A.S looked far and wide to find some pretty awesome and controversial facts about ladyies — and here is what we got. Which one is the biggest surprise for you?

1. Women see more colors.

Ever argued with your female friend over those white curtains that she claimed to be either eggshell or cream? Well, that’s due to women seeing on average 20% more differences in colors and shapes.

2. The female body has a lower resistance to alcohol.

Believe it or not, but alcohol is even more dangerous for women as they are more prone to liver disease like hepatitis (an inflammation of the liver) and are more likely to die from liver cirrhosis (a chronic disease). It is also more likely that women will suffer brain damage from alcohol like loss of mental functions and reduced brain size.

3. Maturity is attractive.

And not only because of the Oedipus complex. Various studies have shown that a woman is more attractive the more fertile she looks, so women who have given birth, grown into a very feminine body, or do not use birth control are way more attractive to men

4. The average woman will eat 4 lb of lipstick in her lifetime.

When you take the average number of lipsticks bought throughout a lifetime and their average wearability, it comes down to women licking off or eating with food about 4 lb of lipstick in their life. That translates to 533.76 lipsticks. Of course, for some women, this number is way too big (or not big enough), so that’s why it’s an average — it varies with country and culture.

5. They hate taking risks.


You might have noticed that women areworse risk-takers than men, and there is actually a scientific reason for that. The anterior cingulate cortex, the part of the brain that weighs options when making a decision, is larger in women than in men. Some argue that this was evolution’s way of making women better caretakers and saving the “tribe” when gathering food and structuring social life.

6. They might make their men fat.

Surprisingly, a lot of men in long-term relationships are getting bigger, and that might be the doing of their women. They go into a “taking care” mode that results in feeding their partner excessively (with the intention of having a strong “warrior” by their side). There is also the unconscious intention of making a man less attractive to other females.

7. A heightened sense of smell

Just like the point before, the heightened sense of smell helped our ancestors to survive and, as women were mainly gatherers, helped them to pick the right foods for the family. So to appeal to that heightened sense — maybe some flowers?

8. The brain cells are packed more densely in the female brain.

On average, the female brain is 9% smaller than its male counterpart. But this has no effect on cognitive abilities since the cell count is the same and they are just packed densely.

9. They are the unsung heroes of inventions.

Mary Anderson invented the windshield wiper in 1903. In addition, women over the years have patented: disposable diapers, paper bags, nonreflective glass, the foot-pedal trash can, the dishwasher, and many other innovations.

10. Heels were for men.

In the 1600s, heels were brought into women’s fashion to mimic the men who wore heels as a sign of their masculinity and status.

11. Reading faces

From the very beginning of their lives, women are better at reading faces, gestures, and voice tones, which makes them superior conversationalists and social leaders. Even in a group of people, all the social interactions would probably be led by an alpha-type female than an alpha male.

12. Long live women!

Sometimes the life duration differences between men and women can be up to a decade, but on average it is at least 2–3 years all over the world. And this is not only true for human females. Female orangutans and chimpanzees also outlive their male counterparts.
Even with all that we know about fair ladies, there’s still a ton of mysteries to be unraveled. Which ones are your favorite?

"CLOACAL KISS"

This month,  Smithsonian  published a fascinating article about the history of chickens and how they basically took over the world.  Obviously, chickens couldn't have established their empire without reproduction, so I thought I'd take a behind-the-scenes look at how chickens became so prominent. As it turns out, chicken procreation is a lot weirder than I thought. Here are just a few of the finer points. 1) Asymmetrical gonads Here's how gonads are usually arranged: males have two testes, and females have two ovaries. Both genders usually have one gonad on the right side of their body and one on the left. It's pretty simple. In contrast, hens only have one functional ovary. In fact, most birds have this lopsided  anatomy  probably because it's more practical for flight. Birds need to be light and compact in order to fly, so they only develop one of their gonads. For most male birds, the right testes is also smaller than the left. This trend do

The 10 greatest discoveries of zoology

A panel of judges at BBC Wildlife Magazine has named the greatest zoological discoveries of all time. Do you agree with their choices? Ian Sample , science correspondent   @iansample Fri 19 Nov 2010  09.23 GMT First published on Fri 19 Nov 2010 Mid-way through the 4th century BC   the Greek philosopher Aristotle   turned his great mind to the wildlife around him and documented the behaviour and characteristics of hundreds of species in nine books that together became   The History of Animals . The work is impressive for its sheer scope and ambition. In 130,000 words, the author divides and categorises animal life every which way: by basic physiology and anatomy; by habitat and mode of movement; by how and what these creatures ate. Humans are not excluded from examination, but are woven throughout the text, giving Aristotle the opportunity to compare and contrast the essence of other species with that of our own. There are some gems. He observes that eleph

BREECH BIRTH

A Breech Birth is when a baby is born bottom first instead of head first. Around 3-5% of pregnant women at term (37–40 weeks pregnant) have a breech baby. Most babies in the breech position are born by a  caesarean section  because it is seen as safer than being born vaginally. [1]  Doctors and midwives in the developing world have thus lost many of the skills required to safely assist women giving birth to a breech baby vaginally. Delivering all breech babies by caesarean section in developing countries is difficult to implement as there are not always resources available to provide this service. Cause Edit With regard to the fetal presentation during pregnancy, three periods have been distinguished. During the first period, which lasts until the 24th gestational week, the incidence of a  longitudinal lie  increases, with equal proportions of breech or cephalic presentations from this lie. This period is characterized by frequent changes of presentations. The fetuses in
