Does anyone know why men developed deep voices? My teacher said that it developed for communication between men when humans were hunter/gatherers because deep voice soundwaves travel farther apparently. Any ideas? and please no comments on what a stupid question this is.

Because it is more attractive to women. The larger voiceboxes that produce the lower voice is caused by the testosterone hormone. Many animals that utilise vocal sound in their pre-mating antics have a similar difference between the sexes.

OG how can you write in italics? (Sorry to ask you again for AB advice. I know it's not your job!!)
It seems that this forum might use BBCode:

Or not. test
Drat. Sorry for spam, all.
Unlike some sites, the end brackets must not have the slash
[i ] whatever you want [ i]
but no spaces.

Trouble is there is no edit facility so if you get it wrong :-(
come again
