Medical Forum / General / General / April 2005Why Women Live Longer than Men ? -- New Book
Greetings, Here is a new book on Female Longevity: Grandmotherhood The Evolutionary Significance of the Second Half of Female Life Edited By Eckart Voland, Athanasios Chasiotis, Wulf Schiefenhoevel Rutgers University Press By the year 2030, the average life expectancy of women in industrialized countries could reach ninety-exceeding that of men by about ten years. At the present time, postmenopausal women represent more than fifteen percent of the world's population and this figure is likely to grow. From an evolutionary perspective, these demographic numbers pose some intriguing questions. Darwinian theory holds that a successful life is measured in terms of reproduction. How is it, then, that a woman's lifespan can greatly exceed her childbearing and childrearing years? Is this phenomenon simply a byproduct of improved standards of living, or do older women-grandmothers in particular-play a measurable role in increasing their family members' biological success? Until now, these questions have not been examined in a thorough and comprehensive manner. Bringing together theoretical and empirical work by internationally recognized scholars in anthropology, psychology, ethnography, and the social sciences, Grandmotherhood explores the evolutionary purpose and possibilities of female post-generative life. Students and scholars of human evolution, anthropology, and even gerontology will look to this volume as a major contribution to the current literature in evolutionary studies.

Nothing could be further from the truh. Chicks do less work, but receive more medical care, more communist-mandate tit and ovary inspections, more pre-natal, post-natal, pre-menopausal, and post-menopausal public, socialist, healthcare.

Mr. May, here is a time I wish you didn't have me killfiled because I'd sure like to see some proof of the above comment. >Nothing could be further from the truh.

Who is "they"? Doctors? I assume if you have a health problem you go to the doctor and are treated. If you don't have any health problems or don't go to the doctor why should "they" do anything for you? >I say the sick females ought to be sent up the chimneys as smoke. I'm surprised you limited that to only "sick" females.

How many masons are we going to have to employ to build the chimneys? Who is going to build the fire brick for the chimneys? Who is going pay for the land that the chimneys sit on?

The effect of this is so obvious that it skewed Russia's male/female ratio for decades after WWII. 2) Men are the vast majority of those dying of homicide - especially in developed nations. 3) Men are the vast majority of those working in very-hazardous careers (mining, fishing boats, etc.) See all our stuff at the http://stores.ebay.com/INTERNET-GUN-SHOW > Women live longer than men because: > 1) Men do most war fighting.

They are _suffering_ as they sit at home, watching Phil and all, wondering. This is _worse_, they say, than dying in wars and for their drugs and for their bling bling. Or so they think. 'Course, the other theory is that bitches need killing. --Tim May >> Women live longer than men because: >> 1) Men do most war fighting.
