Saying "A woman's love of shopping is a throwback to her days in the caves" is another idiotic evolution "just-so" story.

“... “In our evolutionary past, we gathered in caves with fires at the entrance. “We repeat this in warm shopping centres where we can flit from store to store without braving the icy winds.” The study was commissioned by Manchester Arndale shopping centre in response to a rise in January visitors, according to the Daily Express. Visitors to the centre in January this year increased by 350,000...”

LOL They’re leaving the house with the expense of the heating off, and traveling to the malls to “shop”. “Window shop” keeping warm at the expense of the mall.

It’s danged cold over there.

My God! We’ve discovered the reason for the disappearance of the Neanderthal and Cro-Magnon. It was staring us in the face all the time.

Those species failed as husbands and were gradually phased out by being thrown out of the marital bed when they failed to answer the fatal shopping question properly:

Do you like the auroch skin or the cave bear fur better on me?
