Which face do you think is more healthy?


Recent experiments have shown that, aside from symmetry
and being "healthy," men and women form opinions about attractiveness
based on slightly different criteria which can change depending on such
things as their age, hormones and potential for being a mate. A non-symmetrical face, or Facial Asymmetry
(FA), increases with the presence of genetic disturbances such as
deleterious recessives and with homozygous. Also, FA increases
with the exposure to environmental perturbations during development
(i.e. extremes in temperature and pollution). Think of Facial Asymmetry
as the inability of an individual to resist the disruptions in
developmental symmetry. This implies a genetic weakness and less than
optimum health.
