<\/a><\/p>\nThe researchers believe that such an angle would have given a woman an advantage while pregnant in early hunter-gatherer societies and so has evolved as being seen as attractive around the world.<\/p>\n
According to the study, while extra mass around the buttocks could often enhance the curvature of a woman’s spine, men see the physical curvature of the spine known as vertebral wedging as more attractive than extra buttock mass.<\/p>\n
Dr David Lewis, a psychologist at Bilkent University in Turkey explains that the curve was beneficial to ancestral women because without this women would experience a dramatic increase in hip torque (pressure) subjecting them to risk of muscular fatigue and injury.<\/p>\n
So ancestral women who possessed this curve would have been able to forage longer into pregnancy and would have been able to carry out multiple pregnancies with a reduced risk of spinal injury.<\/p>\n
This trait would have become sexually attractive to men due to the evolutionary advantage it gave.<\/p>\n
So next time you wonder why men get obsessed over the likes of Kim Kardashian and J.Lo, remember this study.<\/p>\n
