Is physiognomy real?

>> No.9726317

>>9726061
to some extent it is and i think you could detect many things using face recognition and machine learning
less symmetrical face - less intelligent
more masculine face - more aggressive
prettier - richer
etc.

To a certain extent, yes. In a face you can detect plenty of things that correlate with intelligence and personality. Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is the best example: It has been COMMON for thousands of years, it STRONGLY correlates with criminal behaviour, and you can EASILY detect it in the face. But it wasn't recognized as a medical condition until NINETEEN SEVENTY-THREE. Before that, you'd be called a physiognomist or a phrenologist for pointing it out.

Not one of them has FAS, they all have ridged philtra.

Generally speaking, it is really less resistent to infection. Though in turn I guess you could extrapolate this to mean generally lower IQ as well.

Note that one also needs to separate from directional to fluctuating asymmetry. Basically everyone has some degree of directional asymmetry.

Vid related, fluctuating asymmetry (though extreme)

Only valid thing here is the man on the right has micro/macrocephalia. It's not even physiognomy though.

>> No.9728747

I would say to some extent. Idk if you are familiar with the digit hand ratios, but a low ratio is correlated with wider faces while a high ratio is correlated with narrow faces on average.
