Science: Women holding up the evolution train

Are you glad you don’t have a tail to sit on right now? Thank your male ancestors. That’s right, the dudes–the original ones.

Science has found, startlingly, that the Y chromosome that makes guys guys may in fact evolve faster than the X chromosome, which is what makes guys cry for sports-related tragedies. The Y chromosome is actually continually renewing itself. This means that guys are evolving faster.

In fact, you know how humans and chimpanzees have less than one percent difference in DNA? (We don’t like it any more than you do.) Well our Y chromosomes are 30 percent different from theirs. So guys are more different from chimps than women.

Men: Proudly working to grow wings for mankind since about six million years ago.
