Women with curvy figures are likely to be brighter than waif-like counterparts and may well produce more intelligent offspring, a US study suggests.Researchers studied 16,000 women and girls and found the more voluptuous performed better on cognitive tests - as did their children.
The bigger the difference between a woman's waist and hips the better.
Researchers writing in Evolution and Human Behaviour speculated this was to do with fatty acids found on the hips.

What an odd and interesting survey. Of course, it always seems like each survey that comes out is debunked by another one a month later, but still fascination nonetheless.
Also: "Researchers writing in Evolution and Human Behaviour speculated this was to do with fatty acids found on the hips."
Mmm, fatty acids found on the hips, sexy!
