Neurognosis
Science in general will be the majority of my work here but much focus will be on neuroscience, psychology, neurobiology, evolutionary biology, and palaeoanthropology. There will also be ample dose of personal adventures and trials posted.

Men, have a deep voice? You might be more attractive to women.
An atricle in the journal Biology Letters* surveyed a group of hunter-gatherers in Tanzania (to control for items such as birth control). They found that voice pitch was a good determinant of number of offspring the individual would have - a higher reproductive success. The reason for this is hypothesized that men with deeper voices are seen as more attractive and a marker for being more masculine and possibly having "good genes". So, those of us who don't have a nice, deep voice may have another hurdle to jump in our quest for a mate. I guess I should only speak after I wake up in the morning then... * Source - Apicella, C., Feinberg, D. and Marlowe, F. (2007). Voice pitch predicts reproductive success in hunter gatherers.
