We like big butts and I know why: because it helps babies develop their brains properly. Researchers have found that especially during breastfeeding, the development of babies’ brains relies on fat supplies stripped directly from the mother’s thighs and bottom.

Compared to men and other primates in the wild, females have much more total body fat. The distribution of body fat is also very different – with women having more fat and less abdominal and visceral fat than men, resulting in lower waist-hip ratios. Researchers wanted to see why this happens, and why women with high hip to waist ratios are generally considered more attractive.
