Science proves: Prehistoric women are stronger than most modern men
Chuck Norris, if you have a hand test, may have to commit to lowering your style.
Whoever you are, office workers, lawyers, doctors, professional athletes; No matter whether your daily job is a manual or a brainstorm, whether you spend your free time in the gym or typing in the galaxy - there is a certain fact that you cannot be as strong as a person.
Women in ancient times.
A study published in November 2017 in Science Advances compares the bone structure of modern women with stone, bronze and medieval women. The results showed that there were very few people, even female athletes, with arm strength reaching the . average of women who lived 5,000 years ago.
Previous comparative studies mainly focused on men, because the male bone structure is easier to analyze. For women, when pregnant, the amount of minerals from the bone will be transferred to the fetus as well as breast milk, so it is difficult to use bone scans to predict the amount of work they have to go through. .
Arm strength of women in Bronze and Stone Age is 9 to 16% healthier when compared to rowing athletes.
The workload will create a certain amount of load on the bone, and thereby gradually change the factors but the shape, structure, thickness and bone density. When comparing bones in modern women's legs with prehistoric women, the difference is individual. Some prehistoric individuals have tibia with the same structure as marathon motivators, while some other prehistoric forms have no difference.
Meanwhile, the researchers found that the difference was obvious when conducting a comparison of the bone structure. Only the arm bones of a female athlete rowing at the age of 20 - a subject that requires tremendous upper limb strength, can nearly reach the average threshold of prehistoric women.
The researchers also hypothesized that the arm strength of the Bronze and Stone Age women was 9 to 16% stronger when compared to the most powerful rowing athlete of the women's rowing team. Cambridge University.
Female rowing athlete.
' Shelling seeds into puree is a common activity in early agriculture. This is a job normally undertaken by women . Alison Macintosh is part of the Cambridge University Archeology Department and is the lead author of this study.
'For millennia, people often use stone tools to crush grains into powder, and women have to do this work for 4 to 5 hours a day. This repetitive task places a huge load on the woman's arm bones, similar to how an athlete flips his paddle. "
Not only that, when plows, harvesters, sewing machines . were not born, a woman who lived thousands of years ago was also responsible for sowing, harvesting, milking, weaving ., along with Hundreds of other unnamed things. How many modern men can afford it, even half of that work?
