The woman’s body is often thought of as simply an average body. However, the more we learn about evolutionary biology, the more we understand that the women’s genome has been specifically adapted for a different form of highly efficient survival. From how the brain interprets sensory information all the way down to having two sets of immune system genes on its X chromosome (which accounts for the fact that females, on average, have a higher immunity to disease than males), a great number of characteristics that make females biologically unique do not get recognised. Here are some examples of physiological accomplishments performed by women with much greater levels of efficiency than men.
