Men take a more stupid risks
The vast majority of candidates for the "Darwin Award" - muzhchiny
Men tend to more women at risk, and they are also ahead of the women's risk behaviors. And yet it looks "like an idiot", according to experts, who in the new study found that the majority of candidates for the award of Darwin - the man.
To get the Darwin Awards, which has existed for more than 20 years, a person must die "incredibly stupid way" and thereby protect the human gene pool and increase the chances of survival of the species in the long term.
For example, one person in the new study was a terrorist who had tried to send a letter bomb, not pasted on envelopes, stamps. And that exploded, mindlessly opened his own letter after he returned from the post office.
British researchers used a database Darwin Award to study what they called "the theory of man's idiotic," and clearly see that the propensity to take risks and to take stupid decisions in men is much higher than that of women.
The researchers reviewed the history of all nominees for Darwin from 1995 to 2014, and noted the sex of each winner. To win the award, the circumstances of the death of the nominee must be verifiable, and this man should have been able to make their own decisions, thereby demonstrating "amazing misuse of common sense».
Researchers reviewed 332 "rewarding", officially confirmed Darwin Award Committee. During the analysis the researchers excluded 14 cases where couples were killed and 318 left "awardees". And of these, only 36 were women. The remaining 282 were men.
These data confirm the theory research, which states that "men - idiots, but idiots make stupid things».
The theory was also able to explain the gender gap, which previous studies have identified risk behaviors based on data obtained from the emergency room and mortality data. In men, compared with women much more likely to be in a department with a random wound or with a sports injury. Also, a man can with high probability to die in an accident. In addition, men much more likely to participate in dangerous sports or engaged in other equally dangerous things. However, they can do far more stupid things, says the study.
