      It’s all fire on the good genes hypothesis today! Further to the Glasgow work tweeted earlier on faces (@Ben_C_J @lisadebruine et al), here’s more evidence on WHR too. I think EvoPsych needs a better theory about what drives consistency of what is seen as attractive.https://twitter.com/degenrolf/status/1049649990283476992 …

      The doctrine that women's curves (low waist-to hip ratio) are attractive because they signal fertility or good genes dismally fails the empirical test. http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1474704918800063 … pic.twitter.com/PLTk0M3kjR

      I bet on the sexy son hypothesis: https://twitter.com/DegenRolf/status/1005115295520972807 … Although it is derived from the animal kingdom, where mostly females do all the choosing. In humans, with high paternal investment, both sexes are choosy, which would lead to sxy son, sexy daughter hypothesis.

      I find the sexy son theory rather poetic. And it works. pic.twitter.com/9IQhCO8D0o

      This is interesting, need to read more into it, but this seems to suggest that attraction is incidental to survival? I’m kind of curious how a mechanism like that could occur. That said, we’ve been fortunate in non-essential selection for >100,000 years, so I can see that...

      Rolf Degen Retweeted Rolf Degen

      There is actually a FANTASTIC book about this: https://twitter.com/DegenRolf/status/863454791283994627 … The concept goes straight back to Darwin, who suggested that sexual selection creates counter-adaptive traits. Later theories denied/forgot this and brought natural selection in by the backdoor: good genes

      Rolf Degen added,

      Rolf Degen @DegenRolf
      The idea that females select males according to signs of good genes is high in popularity and low in reproducibility https://www.amazon.com/Evolution-Beauty-Darwins-Forgotten-Theory/dp/0385537212/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1494698605&sr=1-1&keywords=darwin+beauty … pic.twitter.com/F61tTnfeTv

      Replying to @DegenRolf @lpsatchell and

      Great book and rather compelling argument. Recommended it in my sexuality class after discussing traditional EP good genes ideas. Good to acknowledge the debate!
