Humans universally prefer [[Beauty|good looking]] people and agree fairly consistently about who is attractive.<ref>Di Dio C, Macaluso E, Rizzolatti G (2007) The Golden Beauty: Brain Response to Classical and Renaissance Sculptures.

People agree less about people of average attractiveness, so here individual preferences play a greater role. Even babies prefer attractive faces over non-attractive ones long before culture could have affected their preferences,<ref>https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn6355-babies-prefer-to-gaze-upon-beautiful-faces</ref><ref>http://www.apa.org/pubs/journals/releases/dev-dev0000734.pdf</ref> and even blind men have the same preferences about women's hourglas shape as sighted men.<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1090513809001093?via%3Dihub</ref> | |||
Also, among widely different cultures, universal standards for [[beauty]] exist<ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3130383/</ref> and women almost universally prefer tall men to short men.<ref>https://research.similarminds.com/romantic-height-preferences-in-men-and-women/227</ref> | Also, among widely different cultures, universal standards for [[beauty]] exist<ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3130383/</ref> and women almost universally prefer tall men to short men.<ref>https://research.similarminds.com/romantic-height-preferences-in-men-and-women/227</ref> | ||
Taken together, these research findings strongly suggest that the preference for [[beauty]] is largely innate, likely evolved by [[Fisherian runaway|sexual selection]], rather than by social construction. | Taken together, these research findings strongly suggest that the preference for [[beauty]] is largely innate, likely evolved by [[Fisherian runaway|sexual selection]], rather than by social construction. | ||
