Evolution makes women more attractive

Good news girls: you're getting more beautiful. But the forecast isn't so rosy for men.To get more news about 日韩高清性爽一级毛片, you can visit our official website.

Scientists have found that evolution is driving women to become more attractive, while men are not likely to advance in the looks department at all.

A study, led by Markus Jokela from the University of Helsinki, found beautiful women had up to 16 per cent more children than their plainer counterparts.

The research used data gathered in a US study, which involved 1,244 women and 997 men being followed through four decades of life.

Their beauty was assessed from photographs and data was also gathered on the number of children they had.

Evolution expert Dr Jack da Silva, from the University of Adelaide, says even though 16 per cent is not a huge difference, a "beauty race" is being formed.

"From an evolutionary perspective, there's a selection in women to be more beautiful," he told ABC News Online.

"The study showed that women on a whole are more attractive than men."

And not only that, these more attractive women are producing more beautiful women.

"Attractive parents have been found to have a higher ratio of daughters to sons," Dr da Silva said.

"For women, beauty was strongly correlated with the number of children they have, but it wasn't for men.

"One of the predictions is that if you are an attractive woman, you will have more daughters because being more attractive is more beneficial to women than it is to men."

And why is that? Dr da Silva says research shows men choose their mates on the basis of beauty, while women pick their partners based on behaviour.

"Women are not primarily choosing their partners based on beauty," he said.

"They're choosing their mates based on other characteristics ... whereas men choose genetic success based on looks.

"Women often choose men based on behaviour that is successful."

And Dr da Silva says there could be a genetic excuse for the stereotype of older wealthier males going for young attractive women.

"Really, really successful men often are serially monogamous," he said.

"They often trade up for younger, more fertile women. You often see very rich, powerful men with very young attractive women hanging off their arms.

"In these men, their genetic endowment probably determines their success [and] women may choose a certain man because he's a good provider."
