Of course, I am not a scientist...Kristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04589107941801563478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4535845931584340826.post-60472462937838268892008-12-03T15:16:00.000-08:002008-12-03T15:16:00.000-08:00Good question.

That is the hormone balance that explains the curviness is pretty straight forwardly the result of genetic inheritance. But hormone balance does more than determine the amount and placement of body fat in all the right places; they also influence the brain and behavior. <BR/><BR/>Of course, nuture does influence hormone excretion, just as nature does, but in the case of female fertility, the hormonal balance must be reasonably stable in order for the human race to continue in good times as well as bad times. <BR/>However, epigenetics (the influence of the environment on gene expression) could explain the anthropologist's hypothesis. However, it sounds speculative. I am going to have to look up the paper and see what genetic data she has.Elisheva Hannah Levinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16061377724926154037noreply@blogger.com
