Lassek co-wrote a recent paper indicating that women who store more fat on their hips and thighs than on their waist give birth to smarter babies, since fat in those areas contains fatty acids key to infant brain development.
Evolutionarily speaking, he said, "We believe that the most likely reason men prefer women with more pronounced hips has to do with the lower body fat storing those omega 3 fatty acids."
Wow, research to that level of minutiae is getting pretty uh, what's the word I'm looking for... "hardcore"?
