Day 14: Parents Day and Natural Selection in Humans

Today we discussed with our parents natural selection in humans. There has been many studies done about what is preferred in the looks of women and men. What has been scientifically discovered is that women prefer men that have more feminine features because it makes them appear "friendlier" and as a "good parent." They will more likely marry them because they supposedly will be a good parent. Men also prefer women with more feminine features because they feel less threatened in masculinity and the women appear also as "better parents." Thus women naturally selected the stronger better mates to have children with. Males also feel that looking at other males with more feminine features more agreeable because they don't threaten their masculinity.

Here are composite faces that were created out of average faces. Pay attention to the physical characteristics of these people.
