Research from North Carolina State University shows that they really don’t make women like they used to, at least in Spain. The study, which examined hundreds of Spanish and Portuguese skulls spanning four centuries, shows that differences in the craniofacial features of men and women have become less pronounced.
“Improving our understanding of the craniofacial features of regional groups can help us learn more from skeletal remains, or even help us identify an individual based on his or her remains,” says Dr. Ann Ross, an associate professor of anthropology at NC State and principal investigator of the study. The researchers looked at more than 200 skulls dating to 20th and 16th century Spain, as well as approximately 50 skulls from 20th century Portugal.
Researchers found that craniofacial differences between contemporary men and women are less pronounced than they were in the 16th century. The researchers also found that, while craniofacial features for both sexes in Spain have changed over time, the changes have been particularly significant in females. For example, the facial structure of modern Spanish females is much larger than the structure of 16th century females. This difference may stem from improved nutrition or other environmental factors.

How come you show just the woman without makeup? ;-)
Heh, heh. Be more specific.
Well, you could say she has a leg up on most.
You pooled that off!
If you read the article, the “problem” is women becoming more like MEN.
But I was waiting for the “women are ruining us” comments to come forward, no matter what.
I am sure there will be plenty of these kinds of comments because everyone knows women have been ruining men since the beginning of time. (sarcasm off)

What are you talking about?
Shep’s wearing makeup.
And with the development of firearms, there is less need for men to be crude, club wielding brutes.
some female specimens remind me of my butt...though my butt is prettier.
