Why were these old venus statues so fucking fat? Wouldn't obese women be more likely of dying early/getting sick? Also what would people eat to get so fat back then, a mammoth?
Obese euro statues

because beauty standards are cultural and thick girls are sexy
>what would people eat to get so fat back then, a mammoth?
my guess is wine and olives

Nothing speaks of Paleolithic success like having a fat wife.
Carson Gomez
remember reading it was because the women who carved them didn't have mirrors and could only use their own view of themselves looking down

Huge tiddies are based.
Logan Moore
they could see their own reflections in water.

I think there is a type of cultural pottery tradition where instead of projecting only the ideal, you also give examples of the opposite. The detestable thing to stay away from. For people to ridicule. I can't remember where I heard this.
There are boundaries set in biology. Picrel is excessive. A bit of fat on a woman is probably ideal for child rearing and high test (im autismo and want tiny stick asian girls)

cattle domesticated yet? Could be a sort of hybrid offering, fertile cows and fertile woman.

ooga booga Tarzan like fat Jane
Jeremiah Harris
try making a sculpture of yourself from a reflection in water, especially in the areas of the world where these statues were found

they could also use another as a model and have someone else do them.
Jaxon Jones
could be. you're a faggot though

For me it's the Loewenmensch (Lion-man) figurine found in Deutschland aka Furrenreich.

Because people had great taste back then and weren't manipulated by fashion advertising to like thin women. A woman carrying fat in feminine areas is a sign of well functioning hormonal system and health. Extra stores of energy and nutrients in bodyfat were more valuable in times when food might become scarce suddenly, so the fatter the better.

Wrong
>thick girls are sexy
Thick != Obese

It's more cultural with standards changing due to a lot of different factors.
Being fat was a sign of being well fed, which was generally showing that they had resources and power.

That "theory" for venus statues is pure female scientist cope. Plenty of women look exactly like venus statues irl like I guarantee some sticklike female scientist just couldn't wrap their head around why males would literally worship a voluptuous woman like that, or couldn't accept that fat women look like that naked irl.

That's a more recent study. Fatter people survived longer in times of famine. Being fat was a sign of success in a world where food was scarce. Also the fertility implications, as being fatter means you had more energy to spend on a baby.

There is absolutely no evidence that this wasn't made as a joke and survived because people found it hilarious
