Female monkeys know, "Who's my main monkey man?"


Pass the sauce ! Forget the sides. Who needs roses and romance ? Female monkeys want meat-seriously ! "I'll have my coffee now, Jon"

Cristina Gomes and her colleagues, from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Germany, studied chimps in the Tai Forest reserve in Ivory Coast.She and her team observed the animals as they hunted, and monitored the number of times they copulated."By sharing, the males increase the number of times they mate, and the females increase their intake of calories," said Dr Gomes. "What's amazing is that if a male shares with a particular female, he doubles the number of times he copulates with her, which is likely to increase the probability of fertilizing that female."

Don't know about you but I wonder if those intellectual folks and their cousins in the jungle care for brisket !

I always did feel sorry for Ivy.......




Studies now show that women can smell body stink alot more readily than men. Hmmm, The Gonzo Biochemist thinks being a sycophantic coffee toad must generate lots of stink or could it be the possibility of inbreeding among people with poor dental hygiene. (Sorry, the prions got the sheep). Maybe we need another big study here funded by the Wellcome Trust.....

Perhaps the Body Odor Blog can help !
