Biology and Country Music


Good Evening, Everyone!! Yesterday, I learned some thing really cool! In biology, we watched this video. It was called "Why Sex?". It basically covers why it is important to have a man and a woman to conceive children. You need to share chromosomes with someone else to create a child because it is better for their health. Basically, if everyone has a different  composition of genes then it is less likely for disease and sicknesses to travel. Lets take H1N1 for example, some people caught H1N1 and got terribly sick while others caught it and didn't end up being very sick. This is because our immune systems are different due to the difference in genes in each individual. That is also the reason that if your children come home from school and become sick you are very likely to catch the sickness as well because your immune systems are alike.  The video also talked about the nature of men and women and how they look compared to the kind of relationship that is sought. The  scientists in the video took 7 different women and showed them pictures of men's faces. The studies came up that when the women were asked to find a man they would be most likely to have a short term relationship with, they picked a very masculine looking man. When asked to find someone they think would be suitable for a long-term relationship they most often picked men who had "softer" eyes and less defined jaw bones. So basically a gentler looking man as apposed to a more aggressive looking man. I thought that was pretty neat!


Lately I have become a little obsessed with a song called "Fishin' in the Dark" by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. I really like their music because it is the kind of country that almost anyone who likes country will like.  It also  makes a great line dance! ***A TIP FOR THE MAN**** Most women love a man who can dance very well :) To me, it just makes them that much more attractive. ;) haha Another song I have been listening to a lot lately is "Stay" by Sugarland. It is a song that I instantly fell in love with when it first came out 5 years ago last month. It is about a woman who is tired of being with a man who is married. Many people did not like this song because the lead singer in Sugarland has a somewhat nasal voice.
