This would seem to put individuals at a disadvantage, but blushing might actually make a person more【48】or socially desirable.
    【49】that women blush more than men, one university researcher suggests that blushing might have evolved as a way for women to【50】their honesty to men so as to win their support in raising children. Some zoologists also think blushing could have emerged as a way to foster trust.
    "If you were to go hunting【51】a stone-faced partner, you could never【52】what he wants." He says. Once blushing became【53】with embarrassment, anyone who did not blush might have been at a disadvantage because we are【54】likely to trust someone who appears never to feel【55】about anything.
