The permanently swollen breasts in human females are ''unique'' among primates. Breasts of other primate species only enlarge during oestrus and breastfeeding.<ref>https://www.discovermagazine.com/planet-earth/scientists-still-stumped-by-the-evolution-of-human-breasts</ref> Thus, the perma-swollen female breasts still signal sexual readiness in the human male hindbrain. This way women can conveniently gain sexual attention whenever they need it, e.g. to secure their mate's continued investment, to attract a new mate or for near-term resource accrual from [[pump and dump|short-term sexual encounters]]. The curved arch from collarbone to the boobs reminds of the ''[[lordosis]] posture'', thus boobs act as a ''frontal'' or ''secondary lordosis''. | The permanently swollen breasts in human females are ''unique'' among primates.
