Re: Natural and Sexual Selection
I believe the consensus was that symmetry was what was looked for. Though people seem to be wired to find thier own ethnic type more attractive than others, when faced with pictures of individuals outside their ethnic group all tended to rate the same pictures as attractive. When symmetry of the face was measured there seemed to be a correlation between greater symmetry and higher attractiveness ratings.
