The Scientific End of Men - Y-Chromosome is Shrinking to Disappear

Believe it or not, it's true and it's scary. Recent genetic research were conducted to prove that the Y-chromosome, the male chromosome, is in fact shrinking and with time it is about to disappear. Thus, resulting in the end of the entire male gender, and then the end of the sexual reproduction of the human species.

In every cell in our bodies, there is a set of 23 chromosome pairs that determine our characteristics and determine everything about how our body looks and works. 22 of them represent everything similar in our species between men and women, except for the last pair, they're either two X's or an X and a Y. The 23rd pair represent the sex of the person, either XX for females, or XY for males.

Now that you know what exactly we're talking about. The first complete human cell consisted of two identical XX chromosome and each has about 1,000 genes, the Y-chromosome is an evolution, or a mutation of one of the X's. Throughout the years, the Y-chromosome has shrunk to have less than 80 genes out of the 1,000 the X still has. The picture says it all, look at the X and the Y.

Everyone Agrees: Women are Hard to Read

A new study backs up what men have said all along: Women are difficult to read. And the women agree.

Researchers at Indiana University showed video clips from 24 different speed dates and asked male and female participants two simple questions: “Do you think the man was interested in this woman?” and “Do you think the woman was interested in this man?” Their answers were then compared with the responses of the speed daters themselves.

The results, published in the January issue of the journal Psychological Science, show that both men and women are able to gauge a man's interest in a woman, but are equally baffled when it comes to figuring out if a woman is interested in a man.
