"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"Around the world, women live longer than men on average - and scientists have now discovered that competition for a mate could be the reason. Male mammals have elaborate and energetic mating rituals, such as stags crashing antlers, often resulting in injury and shorter lives, researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology found. Among the 1,176 species of mammals and birds studied to find out which sex lives longer, female mammals live on average 13 per cent longer than males,"
The Independent solicits donations to fund on-the-ground journalism across topics like reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech while maintaining free access without paywalls. Donations enable reporters to interview multiple perspectives and sustain investigative projects and documentaries. Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology analyzed 1,176 species of mammals and birds to compare sex-specific lifespans. Female mammals live on average 13 percent longer than males, while male birds live about five percent longer. Male mammals often develop costly sexual traits and engage in injurious mating contests, and polygamy intensifies male-male competition and earlier male mortality.
