Hypotheses:
Males prefer a mate with a slim body, regardless of waist to hip ratio, because it suggests  cardiovascular health

 Our definition of slim is – Low body fat( low fat meaning 20-25% body fat – see picture for reference,) , and narrow hips)

Females ,regardless of weight and height, prefer males that have an athletic body.

Our definition of athletic is – Low body fat percentage, lean muscle  signaling cardiovascular health, a body that is symmetrical and evenly proportioned.

Introduction: general → specific

Follow the thought process behind developing the hypotheses before you looked at the data

Do NOT change the hypotheses

What’s the big picture?  Think of your study’s relation to important, broader issues. “Important” issues don’t necessarily mean curing cancer or eliminating world hunger; you can discuss the importance of understanding human evolution!
What was known before? Refer to findings of previous studies (citations are necessary!)

Remember to indicate what species they studied
Discuss the fitness benefits of the preference or advertised trait your experiment focuses on.

Lead into what your work is going to add (Previous conflicting results? Different approach?)
End on your hypotheses (what do you expect to find, why you think so)
