Men evolving faster than women

Ha!

Blokes are the best!

Yah boo sux to women.

Women may think of men as primitive, but new research indicates that the Y chromosome -- the thing that makes a man male -- is evolving far faster than the rest of the human genetic code.

A new study comparing the Y chromosomes from humans and chimpanzees, our nearest living relatives, show that they are about 30 percent different. That is far greater than the 2 percent difference between the rest of the human genetic code and that of the chimp's, according to a study appearing online Wednesday in the journal Nature.

These changes occurred in the last 6 million years or so, relatively recently when it comes to evolution.

"The Y chromosome appears to be the most rapidly evolving of the human chromosomes," said study co-author Dr. David Page, director of the prestigious Whitehead Institute in Cambridge and a professor of biology at MIT. "It's an almost ongoing churning of gene reconstruction. It's like a house that's constantly being rebuilt."

[where]

you guys would have to catch up at some point.

 

[philosophygirl]

x is always ahead of y.

 

[Sonny Limatina]

To be fair, we had a lot farther to go.

 

[Mobri]

If women didn't constantly change their minds we wouldn't have to evolve so damn rapidly.

 

[torchthebitch]

you guys would have to catch up at some point.

Since X evolves at 2% and Y evolves at 30%, women are holding us back, just like we have always said

What is the point of continuing to evolve when you have attained perfection already?

Well, there is flight, although I'll settle for leaping tall buildings in a single bound. In fact I'll settle for leaping an average garden wall in a single bound.

Get back to me when you guys have mitochondrial DNA.

Oh, and I don't think men are primitive. Just whoever wrote this article.

I blame my mother.

yeah, but we are like thousands of times ahead of you. at this rate a few more centuries and you will be... equal

The mitochriarchy has too much power.

You guys can't do that already?!?!?

 

[torchthebitch]

Speaking for myself, I must admit I can't ... anymore.

 

[Recidiva]

Ummm!

I'm supposed to think women can't be pandering idiots?

 

[bronzeage]

The mitochriarchy has too much power.

She used to say, "I wish I had mutated you when I had the chance."

I'll be honest. The article of which she is the lead author is much more nuanced than my editorialising might suggest.

I just hate info-tainment science.

When it presents itself like a questionnaire in "Cosmo" they'll have to try again.

It's also kinda...scientifically null as a concept, the idea that something that can't be quantified is...changing faster than something else that can't be quantified.

Good change, bad change? We don't know! Here, check out our list of what's hot for fall! He'll love it!

That's because we are already so much more highly evolved.

I prefer to view it this way: men are like the first stage booster of a moon rocket. Our crude aggression and need for dominance of everything around us-from nature, to culture, to other people-has launched humanity into orbit. Now it's time for us to fall back into the atmosphere and burn up while women take things from here.

pop science.

and 'hard' scientists call themselves objective...
