Our Genes Shop for Our Jeans

The difference in shopping styles of men and women lie in their genes! That is why women spend so much time in shopping, while men just get in and quickly get out with the relevant stuff, say researchers.

According to lead researcher //Daniel Kruger, from University of Michigan, different shopping styles date back to the skills that women used for gathering plant foods and the skills that men used for hunting meat.

"We have evidence that the kind of skills, abilities and behaviors that are important for hunting and gathering in current foraging societies, emerge predictably in our modern consumer environment," said Kruger.
