Everywhere female humans live longer than males, is also the case for many other mammals, despite of the dangers in female lives - there is an evolutionary benefit to this! So many men in the world are stupid and so all other men will never be able to understand the inborn body weaknesses.

Secondary growth in proximal perennial stem zone plays a role in iron storage in perennial Arabis alpina, while distal annual stem zones may transiently store iron for seed production.
