Park purpose Īs stated in the foundation document in U.S. From April 1 through October 31, 2023, a timed entry reservation is required to visit the park between the hours of 7 a.m. The park received more than 1.8 million visitors in 2021. The park receives an average of less than 10 in (250 mm) of rain annually.Īdministered by the National Park Service, the area was originally named a national monument on April 12, 1929, and was redesignated as a national park on November 12, 1971. The highest elevation in the park is 5,653 ft (1,723 m) at Elephant Butte, and the lowest elevation is 4,085 ft (1,245 m) at the visitor center. The park consists of 310.31 km 2 (76,680 acres 119.81 sq mi 31,031 ha) of high desert located on the Colorado Plateau. The park contains the highest density of natural arches in the world. More than 2,000 natural sandstone arches are located in the park, including the well-known Delicate Arch, as well as a variety of unique geological resources and formations. The park is adjacent to the Colorado River, 4 mi (6 km) north of Moab, Utah. The findings were published yesterday (Oct. "This also might explain why women wear high heel and why wearing high heel shoes increases women's attractiveness," Pazhooi said.

Therefore, the researchers suggest that a similar signal could have evolved as part of the courting behavior of humans. Previous studies have found, for example, that the lordosis posture- when the lower back curves in toward the belly - is a sign that animals such as rats, guinea pigs, sheep, cats, ferrets and primates are ready to mate. "The perception of attractiveness and visual attention to the hip region suggests that 'lordosis,' or the arching of the back, might signal human females' 'proceptivity,' or willingness to be courted," Pazhoohi said in the statement. And while women trained their eyes on the models' waist, men tended to focus on the models' hips, according to the study.

The eye-tracking data also showed that both men and women looked at the rear view of the models much longer than the side or front perspectives. In addition, both men and women spent a longer amount of time looking at images of the 3D models whose backs were more arched, which suggests that perceptions of attractiveness are largely influenced by this type of posture, the researchers said. The more arched a model's back, the more attractive, on average, the participants rated the models.
