Gender Bias In Fossil Collections

[Scylla]

I once heard a paleontologist say that hominid fossils in caves were mostly adolescent males because adolescent males were more likely to get lost and die in caves. But this study extends to other mammals too.

No need for research, a vast store of phenomenological data strongly supports the concept that the female of the species far outstrips the loutish male in display of sound judgement.

Actually the snollywife has displayed at least one demonstrable, major lapse in judgement. She married snolly.

Everyone knows males are more likely to get lost because they won't ask for directions.

Even though I am sure the vast majority of Cartographers have traditionally been men, we still don't know where we are going.

That's why women were created, so we can get somewhere.

That's why my wife is always telling me where I can go?
