Why do women have fat lower bodies? Evolutionary relationship!

(Text/Yang Qilin)

Q: Why do women tend to be fat in the lower body?

Everyone must have heard the elders say that when choosing a wife, you should choose one with a big butt, as this will allow her to be more fertile. If you understand the evolution of nature, you will know that this is definitely not the ignorant remarks of a country person, but the wisdom passed down by nature.

The purpose of nature's evolution is almost all related to reproduction and survival, and humans are also controlled by nature, just like our biological mothers who always keep a close eye on us, fearing that we might go astray if we are not careful.

When girls reach puberty, the large amount of estrogen flowing in their bodies will cause their pelvis and hips to widen. These hormones will also significantly change the proportion and distribution of body fat in girls, storing fat in the hips, buttocks, thighs and mons pubis. The reason why fat is mostly stored in these areas is that their functions are similar to chest fat, both of which are related to fertility.

Adipose tissue is a portable form of energy storage, and reproductive women usually need to consume large amounts of energy during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Especially in ancient times, when people had to migrate long distances from time to time, this function was extremely important.

Some studies have also pointed out that although women pursue a paper-thin figure, most men still prefer women with plump buttocks.

Why? This is another trick played by evolution - women with plump buttocks have better reproductive abilities, and evolution prefers this kind of body shape in order to attract male pursuit and allow us to continue to reproduce the next generation.

So, if you have a full butt, don't keep trying to make it smaller. It's a sign of your attractiveness.
