There's also the fact that people who like to read tended to learn at a young age, and would therefore know what age they learned to read off the top of their heads. People who learned later would not consider it noteworthy, and also wouldn't jump at the chance to say they learned at an average age or later.

Typically, those of african/african-american descent would regard ample buttocks, and often, ample breasts, as being something attractive an desirable. The latter is often true of causasians, and a pleasant behind is also something we're a fan of, in many cases. An e-waist is perhaps more debatable, because it means many things to different people. Someone who aspires to the kate moss look would probably think a very skinny waist was attractive

Whereas many people would see a larger waist as more desirable.

The conclusion comes from an analysis of British, Indian and Chinese texts dating as far back as the first century AD. According to the researchers, the finding supports the idea that we are hardwired to prefer slender waists, which are linked to good health and fertility.
