The average Homo sapiens father has always been older than the average Homo sapiens mother, the study found, with men becoming parents at 30.7 years old, versus 23.2 years for women.

It's interesting that this trend extends even past the agricultural evolution, back during the "communistic" hunter-gatherer societies.

Shit, dyslexia made me read that as not showering lol. But yeah, I think most people did skip class at least once in their life time, usually some boring classes.

I did that too. Looking back it is a shame I went to a good university at a point when I did not value the high quality education and resources it afforded me. It is a constant source of regret that I was an idiot full stop.
