Neoteny: Difference between revisions

[[File:LaurenHanley.jpg|thumb|Woman with a highly neotenous face despite having well-developed breasts]]'''Neoteny''', or ''pedomorphism'', is when a person has facial features that are similar to those of a baby. Among females, neoteny is a highly desirable trait. Even though 18 year old females and 25 year old females both have low levels of wrinkles, 18 year old females are more attractive than 25 year old females because they have a much more neotenous facial fat distribution. It can also be caused by [[pubefantilism]] (delayed puberty). A woman with neotenous features is referred to as a ''fauxbait''.

Compared to chimpanzees and other primates (including our ancestors), humans tend to become more Neoteny as they evolve, so the East Asian race(which is the most evolved) is the most Neoteny. That's why primitive races like Neanderthals are obsessed with East Asian.
