Sex differences in human faces and the evolution of attractiveness
Why do we find some people more attractive than others? What makes men look masculine and women look feminine? What can these facial distinctions tell us about our evolution? By drawing on examples from humans, apes and other primates, Dr Eleanor Weston discusses the differences between male and female faces, and the evolution of attractiveness.
Further Information
Dr Eleanor Weston is a mammalian palaeontologist based in the newly opened Darwin Centre at the Natural History Museum, London.
