Very interesting reading!
For instance, in regards to why men like a woman's rear:
We do, however, focus on that area as a center for sexual attraction. Reference to the buttocks is equivalent to copulation in our slang. And it is not surprising that special organs have evolved to complement that signal. The swollen buttocks of the European paleolithic carvings and the presence of steatopygia (excessive development of fat on the buttocks) among the Bushmen, Hottentots and South Andamanese suggest that greatly enlarged rears may have been the original human condition. In general we have shifted to a teardrop ideal, away from gigantic bulges toward a more sideways "broad" outline. The thread of this ancestry keeps returning in such forms as bustles.
