why women usually live more than men

by

Rare is the country or society where the life expectancy of men is greater than that of women. To explain this phenomenon we can pull intuition that perhaps tells us that men have a greater affinity for the activities that put them at risk, from tobacco consumption to recklessness at the wheel. Although there is something really in this explanation, this is only part of the story. Genetics. Now, a team of researchers He has discovered A genetic mechanism that could be protecting women from cognitive deterioration associated with age. A mechanism that could also partly explain the greatest longevity of these in front of men. Chromosomes turned off. The human being (As a general rule) It has 23 pairs of chromosomes, of which one is linked to our sex. In cases where a person inherits an X chromosome and a chromosome and, the second predominates and the first is latent, the sex that develops is the masculine. In cases where two X chromosomes are inherited, one of them remains active and the other “sleep”, sex would be in this case the female. This is still a model and nature is capricious, sometimes it surprises us. The last surprise has been starred in some genes on this sleeping X chromosome: it turns out that the “dream” of these genes was not so deep. In the hippocampus. In EK new study, the responsible team detected that about twenty genes on the silent X chromosome were reactivated In hippocampus cells of the mice in which the study was conducted. This activation was given in the subsequent stages of life and, to occur in the hippocampus and by the genes involved, it could imply a greater capacity to maintain cognitive abilities in old age. “In typical aging, women have a brain that seems younger, with less cognitive deficits compared to men,” pointed in a press release Dena Dubal, co -author of the study. “These results show that the silent x females are later reactivated later in life, probably helping to slow down cognitive deterioration.” The team indicates that, among the 22 genes that “escaped” silence, one stood out: PLP1 (Proteolipid Protein 1). This gene contributes to the creation of Myelina protective substance that surrounds neuronal connections and whose deterioration is linked to the appearance of diseases such as sclerosis. Animal models. The team conducted its study in laboratory mice, combining two differentiated lineages from these to clearly differentiate the two X chromosomes and the two genes in each animal. By measuring gene expression in the animals hippocampus, they observed a reactivation that occurred in females at 20 months of life, something that would be equivalent to the 65 years of life in humans. The details of the study were published In an article In the magazine Science Advances. And in humans? Now, the team investigates whether this late activation is also given in older women. As explainedThere are reasons to think that it is the case. In some brain samples studied, it has been found that women had high levels of the PLP1 protein in the same regions as the study mice.

22 years later, ‘Master and Commander’ is still obsessed with men. And it has little to do with ships or sea

by

2003 was the year of ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King’that of the first movie of ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’, ‘Terminator 3’ and The double of ‘Matrix’ on the billboards with the launch of ‘Reloaded’ in May and ‘Revolutions’ months later. In the middle of that Thaquillazos drizzle With millionaire collections, movie theaters welcomed another great success of success much more discreet (although success after all): ‘Master and Commander’the tape of Peter Weir in which a russel crowe freshly raised by ‘Gladiator’ Encarna Captain Jack Aubrey. His box office box touched the 212 million of dollars, enough to cover the budget (150) and leave a good mattress, but not to encourage producers to bet on a second part or (Still, at least) a prequel. With the time ‘Master and Commander’, however, something much more complicated has achieved: becoming a classic with a good community of followers (many of them men) fascinated by their plot and character. And it makes all the meaning. When time helps. There are films that the passage of time feels like a bathroom with bleach. It dazzles and corrode. And then there are others that win the varnish of the classics. ‘Master and Commander’ is one of the last. Not for a simple matter of subjective criteria. No. It comes quickly for Google, X or Reddit To verify that almost 22 years after its premiere (they will be fulfilled in November) it continues to generate conversation, with a large legion of fans who continue to review the film to get new readings. Click on the image to go to Tweet. It’s cinema … and it’s philosophy. It is not just that his level of approval in Rotten Tomatoes for example exceed 80% or occasionally News arise On the plans to roll a prequel. Throughout the last years Peter Weir’s film has starred in broad analysis in media such as GQ, The conversation, The Guardian, Den of Geek either Literally Hub (the latter with a February piece) that go beyond the technical aspects, the actions or the plot of the film to focus on its background, especially in its representation of masculinity, friendship and leadership. The key was given by Gabriella Paiella in A broad article Posted in 2023 in GQ With the title “Why are there so many boys obsessed with ‘Master and Commander’?” The answer was recently given in X (confirming his premise) David French, columnist of New York Times: “Because it is perfect and amazing and everyone should see it 100 times.” French is not alone in that opinion. Even today, 22 years after the premiere of the film in theaters, they are Recent references and comments praiseful In X. Why’s that? For several reasons. The main one is probably the readings and messages that advance in parallel to the plot. Recall: ‘Master and Commander’ is an epic movie that adapts the novels of Patric O’Brian And he tells us how, with the Napoleonic wars as a backdrop, the British frigate HMS Surprise looks for the French ship Acheron in the Pacific Ocean. Crowe embodies Jack Aubrey, captain of the frigate of the British Royal Navy. The other key character is his friend, the naturalist and doctor Sthepen Maturin, played by Pablo Bettany. But above all the real attraction of the film, beyond its action or landscape scenes, is the environment that recreates and the relationships between its protagonists. Moreover, there is who says That at times the tape becomes “a pure study of characters”, in which the persecution of the Acheron ship is in the background in favor of what is really important: friendship between Aubrey and Maturin. A ship movie … and friendship. In 2023 Matilda Hatcher, of the Australian National University (ANU) summarized it clearly in An essay About the movie. What attracts so many spectators more than 20 years later is the link of Aubrey and Maturin and the representation of masculinity. “They are not necessarily nautical adventures that attract men, but healthy and affectionate male relationships,” Comment. That message connects With people who saw the movie in his day, being a teenager, and now he faces a new vital stage, advanced thirty or fulfilled 40, in which the film brings him new valuesand readings. “The interpretation that Crowe and Bettany make of the friendship between two men is up to this art (…). Much of the lasting attractiveness of the film lies in that representation of the male closeness,” agrees Martin Pengely in The Guardian. “In my opinion, a middle -aged man whose most intimate friends live more than 5,000 km, ‘Master and Commander’ presents an inspiring vision of vital relations for health and happiness.” A concept: “positive masculinity”. That is probably the other great key to the popularity of ‘Master and Commande’, a film in which otherwise there are no more relevant female characters, with the perhaps exception of the bow mask and a female face seen fleetingly against the coasts of America. In a tape of this type, life in Altamar, sailor rough and with a classic male hero, the representation of masculinity stands out. “At 20 years, Weir’s work remains a captivating historical drama and an emblem of healthy masculinity,” Defend Hatcher. At the time of Handsfsera And between messages that advocate hard masculinity and the “shark mentality”, ‘Master and Commander’ transmits a different message: it clings to positive masculinity, the classic archetype marked by duty, sacrifice, the search for justice and especially companionship, without egolatries or arrivals. A comfortable, soft, universal reading that goes beyond generations and is defined by values ​​that are not conflicting. Or like summarize it Paiella: “A sign of positive masculinity.” In Xataka | It is not your thing, your friends are probably more popular than you: it is the paradox of friendship

It turns out that the myth that marriage fattens is true. But only for men

by

There is a preconceived and quite widespread idea that relates marriage to accumulating kilos. Well now a group of researchers has contrasted that this prejudice with respect to the marriage union is correct. Or at least correct. An unequal effect. A new study has observed that the risk of obesity increases significantly in men after marriage. It triples, in fact. The same study, however, did not find a significant change in this probability in the case of women. Of course, the risk of developing overweight did increase in both groups. The results must still be interpreted with some caution because the details of the study have not yet passed the scrutiny of peer review and publication in a scientific journal. Those responsible for the work will be presented by this spring in the 32nd European Congress on Obesity that will be held in Malaga in May. Why do we get fat? The question of why we get fat can have many answers. The simplest is that our body absorbs more calories than it burns, so stores energy in the form of fat. However, this is only part of the story: there are many genetic, environmental or socioeconomic factors that we know are, the less, correlated with our risk of developing overweight or obesity throughout our lives. Little by little we verify that marriage is one of them. 3.2 times higher risk. The study indicated that marriage multiplied by 3.2 the risk of men to develop obesity, while the effect of this union was not significant in the case of women. The risk analysis to develop overweight showed a less marked difference. The team responsible for the study observed A 62% increase in the risk of overweight in the case of men. A risk that in the case of women stayed at 39%. Multiple factors. The study analyzed other factors linked to this relationship, which showed other connections of interest. It was thus observed that some factors affected the risk of obesity in the case of women. For example, depression caused the risk to be folded, while lack of health in terms of health also increased risk in women by 43%. This type of factors and interconnections helps us understand what is happening behind the data. Even so, the hypotheses are diverse (and complementary). For example, Less physical activity by men And social pressure in the case of women can help us understand the unequal phenomenon. “Research also suggests that men may have greater propensity to gain weight after marriage due to factors such as an increase in portions, social meals, and a decrease in physical activity; while women may remain more aware of weight due to social pressures ” He pointed to the British newspaper The Guardian Katharine Jenner, director of Obesity Health Alliance. Also age of age. Another important factor to take into account was that of age, as it could foresee. The study showed that age affected the probability of developing overweight and obesity, and that in this case the effect was greater in women than in men. Thus, for example, the risk of obesity increased by 3% per year in the case of men and 4% per year in the case of women. Understanding the context. Understanding the effect of factors such as marriage can help us develop more effective policies to address obesity and overweight, with the ultimate goal of addressing public health problems such as the increase in some non -transmissible diseases for which obesity and overweight are risk factors.

Spanish men are developing a peculiar obsession with swamps

by

There is nothing written about tastes. Nor about obsessions. There are people aware of the LaLiga classificationfans of cars who do not escape any presentation, in love with literature or cinema to the removal of any novelty … and people, increasingly And that is also seen more clearly In networksthat shares a peculiar fascination: follow the evolution of the swamps. They are the ‘reservoir boys’. How are the reservoirs? The question may seem bland, especially in winter, with a good part of the country passed through water and without any specific reason to be aware of the Spanish reservoir network or some special swamp. However, more and more people (men above all) seem to ask that question every week. How are the reservoirs? Do they go up? Do they go down? His obsession is measured in a very precise unit: cubic hectometers. Click on the image to go to Tweet. Click on the image to go to the message. Click on the image to go to Tweet. “Spain in vilo”. A quick search arrives in X either Bluesky To confirm the interest aroused by reservoirs. In fact it is so clear that something else is found: who jokes on the subject Or comment, no longer the data of the swamps themselves, but the obsession around the data of the swamps, pulling humor. “Going to look at reservoirs.net is the greatest male urgency there are,” He wrote yesterday A user in X. and is not the only one. “Spain in vilo before the imminent update this Tuesday”, Add another. In Bluesky They can also be read A good handful of messages About swamps, including those who use The sneer. A name: reservoirs.net. All obsession has its axis. And that of the reservoirs has its own name: Reservoirs.neta website with updated information on embalmed water nationwide, weekly and annual variation and a data rosary by hydrographic basin. All well seasoned with graphics (infinity of graphics) and an arsenal of figures capable of delighting people who when the window appears on the days of Borrasca does not see rain but HM3 and double axis graphics.

However, a search in X or Bluesky arrives to confirm that when obsession with the reservoirs, the looks are usually directed to Emblasses.net. To find data … and (too) to pull irony. “You do not know the desire that I have to take out the updated data of reservoirs of the week @reservoirs.net. It is being my drug,” He published yesterday In bluesky Fran Lamadrid.

The reservoirs are not the first obsession that flies free on the old Twitter. Before they have already been such disparate issues as The Roman Empire either The menu of the University dining room of Almería, between a long, very long etcetera. Obviously it is not the only obsession that is extending on the social network. Another topic supported by data that also gives rise to a good number of messages is demography and, specifically, birth. That there are so many people pending the reservoirs, however, with some issues that have been under the media focus in recent months. The main one, drought. The Rain scarcity has led several regions of Spain to look With concern Your swamps and water reserves. Another is the tragic Dana that hit Valencia and focused the focus, among other points, on The Foraata Reservoir.

The only space launch of history without men occurred in 1963 in the USSR. Katy Perry will be in the second

by

Singer Katy Perry will be one of the next six people to cross the space border aboard a Blue Origin rocket. He will do it in spring with five other women. Among them, Lauren Sánchez, the fiance of Jeff Bezos. A crew composed of women. The Blue Origin NS-31 mission It will be the first with an exclusively feminine crew. Organized by Lauren Sánchez to “inspire the coming generations,” he will take six notable women above the Kármán line, the border of the space to 100 kilometers above sea level. Katy Perry: Pop star with 143 million albums sold and more than 115,000 million views Lauren Sánchez: journalist, helicopter pilot and promised of Jeff Bezos, the owner of Blue Origin Gayle King: journalist, co -presenter of “CBS Mornings”, editor of Oprah Daily and presenter of Gayle King in The House Aisha Bowe: former NASA rocket scientist, Executive Director of Stempoard and founder of Lingo Amanda Nguyen: Research scientist in Bioastronautics, and future first Vietnamese woman to go to space Kerianne Flynn: produced the movie ‘Lilly’, which portrays the trajectory of Lilly Ledbetter, the activist who achieved the right salary law in the United States The second space flight without men. Only the Soviet Union had made a space launch without male crew. It was on June 16, 1963 aboard the Vostok 6 capsule. We refer to the historical flight of Valentina Tereshkova, the first woman who traveled to space. While Blue Origin’s NS-31 mission will be a 10-minute suborbital flight with six crew, Valentina Tereshkova flew alone and orbit the earth for almost three days, completing 48 laps around the planet. The United States did not send a woman to space, astronaut Sally Ride, until 1983. NS-31. The mission will take place in spring. Little New Shepard rocket of liquid hydrogen will take off from the Blue Origin facilities to the west of Texas. Then he will separate from the ship in which the six crew members will go, who will make a parabolic flight of a few minutes experiencing the ingatherness. This mission will be the eleventh manned flight of the New Shepard program. To date, the program has led 52 people above the Kármán line. On the last flight the Spanish television presenter Jesús Callejaas part of a mediaset and Amazon Prime Video documentary. And what Katy Perry says. The singer has shared the news On Instagram With the following message: “If you had told me that it would be part of the first female crew in space, I would have believed you. Nothing was above my imagination when I was a girl. Although we did not grow much, I never stopped looking at the wonderful and hopeful world.” “Hard work to live my life in that way yet, and I am more motivated than ever to be an example for my daughter that women should occupy space (intentional words game). That is why this opportunity is so incredible, so that I can teach the youngest and most vulnerable among us to reach the stars, literally and figuratively.

60 and 70 year old men

In wars, the number of casualties is usually greater than the officially recognized, but what is the gap of figures? A few days ago, BBC and average They led an extensive analysis of the number of Russian soldiers who died in The Ukraine conflict. In parallel, Another pioneering studybased on artificial intelligence tools, it made the same analysis by throwing very sylurious figures. Both macro studies revealed the obvious: that three years of war suppose thousands of deaths, but also how the forces change over time. A profile change. The Financial Times counted A reality that looked like a dystopy only three years ago. As the war in Ukraine has advanced entering its third year, Russia has modified the composition of its army, increasingly resorting to men over 50, and most of them In its 60s and 70s. This change responds to the need of Kremlin to replenish troops without resorting to a new mass mobilization, unpopular measure among the population. Instead, the government has chosen to recruit “volunteers” mediaand substantial financial incentives and one Intense television propaganda that exalts patriotism and the need to defend the nation. The medium exposed examples, such as Yuri Bushkovsky’s casewho would have turned 70 in 2024 and died in the Battle Front in Ukraine in November. Its history is only one among thousands of veterans and elderly citizens who have been persuaded to enlist with promises of economic stability for their families. The impact of the casualties. As we said at the beginning, the Midazone Analysisin collaboration with the BBC and other media, it has compiled information about almost 100,000 deceased Russian soldiers In the conflict. And next to this, another study, of istoriesbased on AI tools. Both suggest a similar figure, with More than 104,000 identified names. A very high figure, although experts estimate that the real of casualties could be significantly higher. The transformation of the army. The data in the two works show that in the first phase of the invasion, most troops They belonged to the regular armyincluding soldiers of elite units sent to take Kyiv in a matter of days. However, after the mobilization of 300,000 reservists in 2022, the dead began to include a growing number of soldiers without formal training. For the beginning of 2023, the fighters of private groups such as Wagner and prisoners recruited in prisons They dominated the casualties. Now, in the third year of war, the strategy has changed again: the Kremlin It depends on military contractswith a growing participation of these older men, who see a Solution to financial problems or legal. Motivations and the “prize.” The recruitment of older men responds to multiple factors. Some of them have Previous military experience in previous conflicts, while others They face economic difficulties that lead them to be enlisted in exchange for bonuses of up to 4 million rubles ($ 45,500) and annual salaries that can exceed 7 million rubles ($ 79,000). For many, this sum represents an opportunity for Transform the lives of their familiesallowing the purchase of a home or the education of their children. We have it a while ago, there are soldiers that “They are worth” more dead than alive In its regions. In this regard, the sociologist Kirill Rogov described this phenomenon as A “social jump” For the families of the recruits: in many cases, it is a decision made in conjunction with their loved ones, who see in the money a unique opportunity in a context of economic crisis. However, the human cost of this strategy is evident. According to Mediazona datamore than 4,000 contracted Russian soldiers have died with more than 50 years, a figure much greater than 500 reservists and 869 prisoners who died in the same strip. And in Ukraine? In contrast, both studies show that the average age of Ukrainian soldiers is 43 years. Despite the reduction of the minimum age for military service 27 to 25 years in 2023the Ukraine government has avoided more drastic measures not to compromise the future of its population. In Russia, however, the aging of the army seems to be an increasing trend, which raises doubts about the sustainability of the long -term war effort. As for the economic incentive, varies according to the region. In places like Samara, the payment to be enlist is one of the highest, reaching 4 million rubles, while the average monthly salary in the area barely exceeds 66,000 rubles. This contrast reinforces the attractiveness of recruitment for those who face financial difficulties. In some regions, the initial bonus is sufficient to cover the cost of an apartment of a room, which makes the offer seem even more tempting for low -income families. An invisible war. They counted in both reports that, although the losses have been catastrophic in the front, the Russian society continues greatly disconnected from the real cost of war. Only 30% of the Russians They have had direct contact with the conflict, either fighting or with relatives in combat. In Ukraine, however, almost 80% of the population Meet someone who has died or has been injured in the war. Not just that. The absence of official information and censorship reinforce this ignorance. In Russia, data on military casualties are classified as state secretwhile in Ukraine, the lists of fallen soldiers remain accessible to the public. This makes the emotional impact of the conflict very different in both societies. A Proppa studyin collaboration with the University of Helsinki, he found that 43% of Russians They still support the invasion. However, experts as the sociologist Viktor Vakhshtayn They believe that feeling would change dramatically if more citizens were personally affected by losses. The problem of recovering bodies. It is the last of the legs to be treated in this “war” of figures. A key factor in the underestimation of the Russian casualties is the Difficulty recovering corpses. Many bodies are still on the battlefield, since the troops avoid exposing themselves to drone attacks to rescue their fallen companions. Since … Read more

“Butsukari Otoko”, men who attack women

by

One of the most fascinating things that Japanese language has is the ability to Define with an expression a concept that outside its territories can go through authentic Marcianada. They have a word to explain almost all these complex situations from the prism of the West, where we would surely need an extensive phrase to try to explain it. The same thing now happens with Butsukari OtokoLiterally, men who ram women. Now it’s time to explain it. Aggressions in crowded spaces. Japan Times counted on a trend that has gone more in the nation. In Japan, trains and crowded stations have generated a worrying problem: the aggressive behavior of certain men who, under the name of ぶつかり男, o Butsukari Otoko, (“Men who ram”), deliberately attack women in stations and stairs. These individuals, mostly called Chūnen Dansei (“Men of Medium Age”), have been captured on multiple occasions impacting with their bodies, elbows or even with more violent blows such as punching and kicking. In fact, Since 2018, there are videos of these attacks frequently circulating on social networksevidencing the magnitude of the problem and revealing that most victims are women, pregnant women and/or people with baby strollers. The reasons. Experts argue that these aggressors They act as a form of SunToresu Kaishō (“Stress release”)choosing smaller or considered vulnerable victims. Some simply ram in silence, while others They verbalize their aggression with phrases like Jama Nanda Yo (“You’re on my way”, or Doke Yo (“Move”). In addition, along with these physical attacks, there is another common problem (this is extendable to all nations): The presence of the dokanai ojisan (“Men who do not move”)who block spaces and resist giving way, even in priority areas. Lack of terminology for women. Although there are specific terms for aggressive men in public transport, there are no equivalent for women with similar behaviors. In this sense, The term neutral butsukari kata has been suggested, but its use is not extended. In these situations, The most common answer is to say Summimen(“Excuse me”)although phrases like Tōrimasu, (“I’m going to pass”) or Tōshite Kudasai, (“Please let me pass”) they can be more effective. That said, in the case of the Butsukari Otoko it may be necessary something more energetic as a Kudasai doite, (“please, move”). What to do before an aggressive act. Japan Times counted that if the clash is intentional, A natural reaction can be exclaimed Itai, (“It has hurt me!”) Or simply Abunai, (“care!”). However, experts seem to recommend Avoid aggressive responses like Fuzakeruna(“Leave nonsense!”) O Nan’nano, (“What is your problem?”), Since they could trigger a greater confrontation. In severe cases, common sense is advised: ask for help with a Kudasai Tasukete, (“Help, please!”) And, if necessary, submit a complaint for damage. Legal consequences to butsukari. Railway companies have warned that These aggressions constitute what is called in the nation as Meiwaku Kōi (“annoying behaviors”)together with the use of the mobile while walking and other actions that can lead to crimes such as aggressions. In fact, some victims of these cases have reported that It is essential to make a complaint to the police immediatelygiven that Some butsukari are repeat offenders. Plus: It is also recommended to take photos of the aggressor if possible. Finally, The Times report remembered that in stations and trains or meters there are other vulnerable groups that also face difficulties. People in wheelchairs are usually victims of people who sneak in line, especially in elevators. Recommendation? Phrases like Norimasu, (“I’m going to go up”) or Orimasu, (“I’m going to go down”) can help in these cases. Also, if someone is observed having problems, phrases such as Tōshite AGETE KUDASAI (“Please let him pass”) or doite AGETE KUDASAI, (“Please do aside”) can be very useful.

Half of all the frozen semen produced by Spanish men comes out in a single city: Granada

by

Neither Madrid, nor Barcelona; Neither Valencia, nor Seville: the place in Spain where more semen is donated the most It is Granada. And it is by far margin: of the 56,700 donations of male gametes between 2018 and 2023, 23,096 were made in this province. Practically half. Is something that was already knownbut Ana Requena It has just updated the data And it’s really surprising. Because if the question is “What is happening in that city?” The answer is not only curious … it is very interesting. Granada, national semen champion. It is true that obtaining reliable data is complicated. Above all, because (although clinics and hospitals are obliged to turn their data in assisted human reproduction information system) we have not managed to have a centralized record. However, in this case the reliability is the least: we talk about such a brutal difference that we can give it for good. Granada is the queen of the semen of Spain and is something completely recognized in the sector. But … why? The person responsible for this has names and surnames: Ceifer Biobanco, a private semen bank that was founded in the city almost 30 years ago and is a national reference. In fact, he works with about 500 reproductive centers in the country. That is key. Because, as explained at Eldiario.es Juan José Espinósthe president of the Spanish Fertility Society (SEF), having an authorized center to collect semen is not easy: “In the same way that most assisted reproduction centers collect ovules, there are few authorized for semen of donors.” “There are more donors where more promotion is made and concentrated in places where there are specialized banks,” Espinós explained. So it is not because the Grenadians are extremely fond of this? Yes and no. As Juan Pablo Ramírez explained a few years agomanaging director of the company, although Donor’s profile has been changing over the years (and older men, workers and parents have been incorporated), “students continue to assume 80% of the total donations.” That is one of Ceifer’s keys: that Granada is the student city per hintomasia. A city of about 250,000 inhabitants that has a university of 80,000 students (and that is only a part of its training offer). But, without a doubt, it is a management success. After all, Ceifer also has venues in Seville and Córdoba, others of the two leading cities in donations. And it is not easy either. As they explainedonly 10% of those who are interested end up being accepted. To the age requirements (less than 50 years), we must add a personalized interview with a psychologist and a whole battery of medical tests that discard hereditary diseases and ensure the quality of the semen. So yes, Granada is at the top. And it seems that it will continue to be a long time. After all, the two cities that follow it from afar are also feuded by Ceifer. Who was going to tell us that the geopolitics of the semen was going to talk about the importance of having long -standing institutions attached to the field?

How wealth and land passed from mothers to daughters (and not to men) in Britain 2,000 years ago

Item information Author, Georgina Rannard Author’s title, Science reporter, BBC 1 hour 2,000 years ago women in Britain passed land and wealth to their daughters, not their sons, as communities were built around the female bloodline, according to new research. Skeletons unearthed in Dorset contain DNA evidence that Celtic men moved to live with their wives’ families and communities. Scientists found evidence of an entire community built around a family’s female bloodline over generations, probably originating from a woman. “This points to an Iron Age society in Britain in which women had a lot of influence and could shape its trajectory in many ways,” explains Dr. Lara Cassidy of Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, lead author of the investigation. Image source, BOURNEMOUTH UNIVERSITY photo caption, Archaeologists found well-preserved skeletons in the clay soil of Dorset. It is the first time in the history of ancient Europe that this evidence has been documented. of communities built around women. Scientists believe that the communities also invested heavily in their daughters, as they would likely inherit their mother’s status. “It’s relatively rare in modern societies, but it might not always have been that way,” Cassidy says. The team found evidence that this occurred in numerous places in Britain, suggesting that the practice was widespread. The communities analyzed lived around the same time as Boudica, the warrior queen who led a rebellion against Roman invaders in eastern England around AD 61. Dr. Cassidy sequenced DNA taken from the bones of 57 individuals from a tribe called Durotriges. People lived in Winterborne Kingston, Dorset, around 100 BC to 100 AD The skeletons were unearthed from a cemetery by a team of archaeologists from Bournemouth University, England. By tracking mitochondrial DNA, which is only passed between women, Cassidy discovered that most of the women in the community were related by blood ties that went back to previous generations. Instead, there was a lot of diversity in the Y chromosomes, which are passed from father to son, indicating that men from many different families married into the community. Image source, BOURNEMOUTH UNIVERSITY photo caption, The skeletons of people from the Durotriges tribe were very well preserved. DNA analysis also indicates that most of the ancestral line can be traced back to a single woman. The work shows that this society was what is known as matrilocal, meaning that a married man moved to live in his wife’s community. “The most obvious benefit for a woman is that if you don’t leave home, you don’t abandon your support network. Your parents, siblings, family members are still around you,” says Dr. Cassidy. “It is your husband who arrives, he is the stranger in the community and depends on your family for his livelihood and his land,” she adds. The researchers they found the same evidence of matrilocality in bones from other cemeteries, including those in Cornwall and Yorkshire. The researcher says evidence of powerful women in ancient communities has often been dismissed as isolated, not the norm, but these findings challenge that way of thinking. Archaeologists Miles Russell and Martin Smith found other evidence that women had high status. Image source, BOURNEMOUTH UNIVERSITY photo caption, The team from Trinity College and Bournemouth University excavated and analyzed skeletons of 57 people “We found tombs decorated with great care and with objects of great value. In each of the cases they were tombs of women, so we believe that wealth was transferred through the female line,” says Professor Martin Smith of Bournemouth University. The findings also support Roman writings of the time which suggested that women in Britain were quite powerful, more so than in Rome. But the Romans, like Julius Caesar, saw it as a sign of backwardness. “Women in Britain had power and it was a more egalitarian place. That was the biggest problem the Romans had with the British because Rome was a deeply patriarchal society. For them, it marked the British as the quintessential barbarians,” she says. Professor Miles Russell of Bournemouth University. Most societies today are patrilocal, meaning that women move to their husbands’ communities. But there are some matrilocal communities today or in the recent past, such as the Akan in Ghana, West Africa, and the Cherokee in North America. Scientists say Iron Age Britain may have been matrilocal because men were frequently outside fighting. Dr. Cassidy compares it to World War II, when women gained more political and economic power. Matrilocal societies are also less likely to experience internal conflict, he says. “They can promote feelings of unity between communities and neighboring towns. They disperse groups of related men, preventing them from developing strong loyalties and starting disputes with related men who live nearby,” suggests the researcher. The findings were published in the scientific journal Nature. Subscribe here to our new newsletter to receive a selection of our best content of the week every Friday.
