25. Men Hunt, Women Gather

26. As soon as you set foot in the mall, the friction begins.
She wants to roam around to the Gap, Old Navy, Banana Republic and Macy’s, but can't quite remember where any of those stores are.
He knows exactly where he's going and wants to practically run there, get the thing he’s looking for and get out of there as if the food court were on fire.
Now we know why. University of Michigan psychologist Daniel Kruger has found that how we shop has an awful lot to do with how we once found our food. Men hunt. Women gather.
Kruger had his light bulb moment while on vacation with his future wife and another couple in central Europe.
Kruger and his buddy got ready to hit the sights. The women started looking around for the nearest shopping centre.

27. As a scientist, he wanted to know the reason
As a scientist, he wanted to know the reason. He did a battery of tests on student volunteers.
Kruger found that our habits haven't changed. Our environment and our goals have.
In prehistory, women gathered for food. This kept them close to home, performing a daily, intensive and social activity. A good memory, a keen eye and a lot of patience when choosing, helped make a good gatherer.
Men hunted for meat. This was an non-social activity that earned them prestige only through the biggest catches. Short bursts of energy, were followed by long periods of sitting around waiting for women to bring in the harvest.

28. With different duties came different abilities.
Women perceive color more vividly.
They are less likely to be color blind. This allows them to distinguish between edible and poisonous berries, for instance.
Foraging also encourages pickiness, which they found rewarding when they returned with an abundance of food.
Women see directions in straight lines, which allows them to head right to a favorite gathering spot.
Men have better spatial awareness, which allows them to navigate in unfamiliar territory.
Cave men operated with two goals in mind – kill as big a thing as possible and make sure everyone in the village knows about it. The proceeds of a hunt were shared throughout the group and increased a man's prestige.

29. The wide-ranging conclusions drawn by Kruger help explain why women are more mindful of sales (i.e., choosing to return when a desired food is more ripe) and why the fashion calendar is seasonal (i.e., keeping a sharp eye on what food is most desirable at what time of year).
It also helps explain why a husband sent out to get a carton of milk returns with a widescreen TV. Studies among the Ache tribe of Paraguay show that hunters often kill something too large knowing that a big catch means greater popularity. Men in Kruger's study said that they only enjoyed shopping when it was for a major purchase like a car.
Then there is talking. Gathering, by its nature, is social. Women speak an average of # words a day. Men speak ?.

30. For men, a long-winded discussion might tend to frighten off the buffalo, so hunters prefer to stalk in silence. Since the hunt can be dangerous, men did it without their children in the vicinity.
This leads to a simple conclusion – men and women should never do together what we've spent thousands of years doing apart.
