TAILIEUCHUNG - Darwinian aesthetics: sexual selection and the biology of beauty

But then another side of the issue comes to the fore. The landscapes that we ordinarily know are not pristine nature, but cultivated landscapes, rural or pastoral, with their towns and cities. Over the centuries, people have worked out their geography with multiple kinds of industry and perception, mixing nature and culture in diverse ways, no doubt some better, some worse. But who is to say that a science-based appreciation is the only right one? 9 Nature as seen by science is just the way we Westerners currently 'constitute' our world—so the phenomenologists may say. There is no reason to think. | 385 Biol. Rev. 2003 78 pp. 385-407.

Received 30 January 2002 revised 4 September 2002 accepted 13 September 2002 abstract Current theoretical and empirical findings suggest that mate preferences are mainly cued on visual vocal and chemical cues that reveal health including developmental health. Beautiful and irresistible features have evolved numerous times in plants and animals due to sexual selection and such preferences and beauty standards provide evidence for the claim that human beauty and obsession with bodily beauty are mirrored in analogous traits and tendencies throughout the plant and animal kingdoms. Human beauty standards reflect our evolutionary distant and recent past and emphasize the role of health assessment in mate choice as reflected by analyses of the attractiveness of visual characters of the face and the body but also of vocal and olfactory signals. Although beauty standards may vary between cultures and between times we show in this review that the underlying selection pressures which shaped the standards are the same. Moreover we show that it is not the content of the standards that show evidence of convergence it is the rules or how we construct beauty ideals that have universalities across cultures. These findings have implications for medical social and biological sciences. Key words attractiveness beauty standards Darwinian aesthetics face humans mate choice sexual .
