The reason men nose is bigger than women

Strong men have bigger noses than the weaker sex, due to their different sexual structure and energy needs, according to experts at the University of Iowa in the US.

In general, men have more muscle mass than women, so more oxygen is needed for muscle growth and maintenance.

Therefore, the big nose means the fact that they inhale more oxygen to supply the muscle.

'We found that when the body size increased in men and women during the growth process, men showed an asymmetric increase in the nose', according to Medical Daily website quoted Nathan Holton of the University. Iowa.

Differences in nasal size in men and women begin to show up at age 11, particularly when puberty is activated.

In physiological terms, boys begin to develop more lean muscle mass at that time, while girls' bodies create more fat mass.

This also explains why our noses are smaller than the ancestors of the past, such as the Neanderthals, due to the large and burly relatives of humans, who need oxygen to breathe.
