Is physical beauty really a good marker for health/fertility of your partner? Are there any papers on this?

>> No.12555962

Finding papers about hip to waist ratio and facial symmetry is easy. Check PubMed yourself.

More like deformity and ugliness are good indicators of poor health, beauty indicates good health by contrast. You might get beauty in inbred animals with a high load of bad genes though, like purebred show dogs that look right but all get cancer and arthritis.

There's a loose connection, yeah. If you're generally unhealthy in a whole slew of ways, it'll make you ugly as fuck. That's the idea with evolution preferring healthy mates.

It's sure as shit not perfect though.

Nobody understands beauty. People make up sciency narratives around it because in their brainz "cool story=science!". So they make shit up about health and fertility. The worst ones parrot this tale of symmetry= beauty even if faced with clear examples of assymetrical beautiful faces or symmetrical horrible faces. Redditors who never had an original thought in their lives

Sexual reproduction is just a mechanism to filter mutations from the gene pool, involving mixing and filtering.
The gene mixing provides a chance of having offspring with a low mutation load. The filtering (inceldom) is how nature kills offspring with a high mutant load.
Imagine two horrible mutants having 12 kids. By a stroke of statistical luck, 1 kid came out fine, the other 11 are as bad or worse than the parents. That good kid will get to reproduce.
