Why do men have Adam’s Apple?
Actually, both men and women have Adam’s apple. In medical terms, the Adam’s
apple is called a thyroid cartilage. The reason a man’s Adam’s apple is larger than a
woman’s is because his larynx is larger to accommodate his longer vocal cords. By
the way, it is men’s longer vocal cords that give them deeper voices. A second reason,
which female readers may not like, is because women have more fat in their necks,
which hides their Adam’s apple.
The name Adam’s apple was taken from the Biblical story of Adam and Eve. As the
story goes, a piece of the apple that Eve had given Adam to eat became lodged in his
throat. From then on, Adam and all his male descendants had an enlarged larynx as
symbol of Adam’s shame.
