Why is it that women of Mediterranean descent tend to be pear shaped?

I weigh 123 lbs and I am 5'5. I am very skinny on the top but I can't lose weight on my bottom. I have no stomach. I also noticed that my aunts and almost all italian women and other mediterranean have this body type. Why??? What purpose does this serve.



Also, white women of German and other Anglo descent tend to be more apple shaped. In addition, Asian women are rarely pear shaped.



I'd like to know a logical explanation.

Well, i guess a particular gene has inherited again and again from your grand grand parents. I suppose
