As an enduring mystery of the human condition, it has been praised and damned in equal measure. It is a bridge over the abyss of isolation but can be a bit like croquet: easy enough to grasp the rules but a hard game to enjoy.
Now scientists in Britain have taken the puzzle of monogamy and boiled it down to one big question: how did it come about in the first place? A new study claims finally to have an answer.
"Humans have ended up monogamous to some extent, it's the predominant way we live," said Christopher Opie, an anthropologist at University College London. "What we have now is an evolutionary pathway for the emergence of monogamy."

Permed hairs are pretty. They are good to behold. Any woman with lovely and relaxed hair makes heads turn. A number of women love to perm their hairs but not everyone will love the adverse effect of a permed hair gone bad.

Which hair relaxers do you use? Where do you buy them? Do you have a ‘test’ before applying any relaxer on your scalp? There is need to know this before you go to the salon.

Your scalp is a very sensitive part of your body because of its covering for the veins which supply blood to the brain. Any progressive damage to the scalp could lead to the thinning of the skin layers, thus exposing vital veins.
