Thick thigh saves lives! If you have a huge derriere, then you definitely have a huge chance to produce children with a high IQ.

According to a study done at Oxford University, researchers were able to find a correlation between big butts of a mother and her child’s IQ, and concluded that women with big butts give birth to smarter children.

This is possible because of the higher levels of “good” fatty acids, specifically Omega-3, in the bodies of women with above average derrières.

Babies need these fatty acids for their brains to develop properly, and since the fats in the mother’s breast milk comes from the lower part of the body, babies whose moms are blessed with big behinds get a lot more of Omega-3.

A similar research from 2007 also proved that gluteofemoral fat plays a huge role in producing smart babies, so this more recent study only strengthens those findings.

However, the researchers do also highlight that while having a fatter bottom can be key to having genius offspring, your genetics and lifestyle also play a role.
