Courtship Displays and Attraction Signals2.The Breasts
Most of the world has developed an obsession with breasts in
recent years and cleavage and cosmetic breast enhancement is
now a multi-billion dollar business. This is remarkable consid-
ering that human breasts are little more than enlarged sweat
glands.
Most of the breast consists of fat tissue. This gives them
their rounded shape and most of this tissue is not involved in
milk production.
Overall, breasts serve one clear purpose — sexual signalling.
Breasts mimic a woman's rear view — a relic from the days
when humans walked on all fours. If a monkey or chimp
walked towards you on two
legs you'd be unable to tell
whether it was male or female.
Humans walk upright on two
legs and enlarged female
breasts evolved as a mimic of
the female rear. Tests con-
ducted with pictures of bum
cracks and breast cleavage
convincingly show that most
men are unable to differentiate
one crack from the other.Tests show that most men can't tell the
difference between a bum crack and
cleavage
