Graphic from my Human Origins textbook
from my rather entertaining Human Origins textbook…
and later, the book explains…
“Human females have relatively large breasts, whereas other primate females do not. One hypothesis is that large breasts developed to resemble buttocks. Given that face-to-face sex is desirable in reinforcing emotional bonds and that males prefer the buttocks (both questionable assumptions), large breasts would serve to attract human males to the female’s front.”

i didn’t get enough homework done today. damn. i did, however, play basketball for about 1.5 hours. part of that time, i played 5 on 5 with some members of the girls club team. it was three girls and two guys on each team. they weren’t spectacular, but their fundamentals were good (better than mine, for sure), and playing with girls is really fun. besides, i got to feel like Vince Carter every time i jumped over everyone and got a rebound. fabulous.
