9 Differences Between Men and Women That Have an Unexpected Explanation
Today, we would like to talk about the differences between men and women. You might say that youโve known about these differences for your entire life, but itโs not that simple. We are sure that weโll be able to highlight a few facts youโve never heard of before. And in the bonus section, youโll find out where the fashion for high heels came from.
The length of fingers
Letโs conduct a short experiment. Place your hand on a flat surface and compare the length of your index and ring fingers. In general, in women, the index finger is longer. In men, the ring finger is longer. How can this be explained?
According to scientists, the length of these fingers depends on the level of male and female hormones that affect the fetus in the womb. So, the reason why the ring finger is longer than the index finger in men is testosterone.
The skin on the heels
Scientists have found out that womenโs skin is more hydrated in the dรฉcolletรฉ area and on the hands. Only the skin on their heels is dryer than that of men. So, in equal conditions, menโs heels will be smoother.
Breast
You might think, โWhy would a man need nipples?โ It might sound strange but every person was initially female. When an embryo begins to develop in the womb, the male Y chromosome doesnโt immediately start working.
During the first 5-6 weeks, development occurs only under the influence of the X chromosome, so the nipples have enough time to form. If the embryo is male, the Y chromosome โturns onโ after this period of time, and a boy is formed.
Men can even produce milk. Lactation is activated under special conditions, for example, it may appear during treatment with the hormone prolactin.
Vision
Women are better at seeing colors, but men are good at tracking fast-moving objects. This is probably linked to our hunter-gatherer past when men were hunters and women were gatherers.
For example, an orange may appear redder to a man than to a woman. The grass is almost always greener for women because green objects appear more yellow to men.
Gaining muscle mass
Many women have to go to the gym regularly to have a toned body, while a man can just lift a barbell a couple of times to get a 6 pack. So, what is the โingredientโ responsible for muscle development? If you guessed testosterone, youโre right.
In women, it is also produced, but in much smaller quantities. So, it is easier and faster for men to gain muscle mass.
Hair loss
Going bald after the age of 50 is typical for around half of men (and for a quarter of women too). The reason for this is a widespread hereditary disease, androgenetic alopecia, which is also called โmale pattern baldness.โ Due to this condition, hair follicles shrink, and hair becomes thinner and shorter, and eventually disappears.
Follicle shrinkage can beย caused byย sensitivity toย dihydrotestosterone, aย by-product ofย testosterone. This means that the more muscle-building hormone aย man has, the more likely itย isย that heย will become bald.
Adamโs apple
Both men and women have an Adamโs apple, but itโs more prominent in men. Why? The Adamโs apple is the cartilage that protects our vocal cords. It is formed during puberty. Since adult men have larger vocal cords, their Adamโs apple is also more prominent.
By the way, the larger the Adamโs apple, the deeper the voice. There is a theory that our ancestors needed a low voice in order to scare away predators.
Brain size
A manโs brain is larger than that of a woman, but this doesnโt mean that men are intellectually superior to women. Also, some parts of the brain in both sexes are different in size and work differently. For example, the hippocampus, which is involved in learning and creating memories, is larger in women. And the amygdala, which is associated with experiencing emotions and remembering them, is larger in men.
Scientists conducted an experiment: they showed the subjects a video so that they could recall some personal experiences. It turned out that in men, activity was observed only in the right amygdala, and in women, only in the left one.
Beard
At first glance, it might seem that a beard doesnโt provide any benefits. So, why does it grow? There is a theory that the jawline looks more massive thanks to a beard, so its wearer looks stronger and more masculine. Perhaps, our female ancestors tended to choose men with a thick beard as their partners because they thought they would produce healthy offspring with them.
Bonus: Heels
Nowadays, high heels are one of the symbols of femininity, arenโt they? However, in the 17th century, Persian riders used to wear one-inch heels. And since owning horses was a symbol of wealth, heeled shoes also came to signify money and power. The Persians then brought their fashion to Europe.
The French king Louis XIV became a big fan of heels. He even issued a decree according to which only nobles were allowed to wear heels. The higher and redder the heel was, the more powerful the wearer was.
The Sun King only allowed those who he favored the most to wear red heels. But since the 18th century, heels have become a purely feminine attribute, although this didnโt stop rock stars like David Bowie and The Beatles from wearing them.
