Radio Curious discusses the evolution of women's bodies and why they have curves with Dr. David Bainbridge, author of âCurvology:Â The Origins and Power of Female Body Shape."
Barry Vogel, Attorney and Counselor, is the Host and Producer of Radio Curious. Christina Aanestad is the Assistant Producer.
I presume that all of you have, at one time or another, noticed that within the greater animal kingdom, the female of our species has a curvaceous body shape visibly different from the shape of the male homo sapiens. Why women have curves and how these curves reflect on other aspects of our lives, is the topic of this edition of Radio Curious. Our guest is Dr. David Bainbridge, Professor of Veterinary Anatomy at the University of Cambridge, in Cambridge, England and the author of âCurvology: The Origins and Power of Female Body Shape.â  When Dr. David Bainbridge and I visited by phone from his home in England on March 6, 2015, I asked him why is it that female humans are curvy?  The book Dr. David Bainbridge recommends is âIntelligent Life in the Universe,â by I.S. Shklovskii and Carl Sagan, published in 1966. It is a product of a unique international collaboration between a world famous Russian astronomer and a leading American space scientist, presenting a modern discussion of the entire panorama of natural evolution.
