Objective beauty is likely partly an innate preference of animals for simplicity and partly [[Sexual selection|sexually selected]], i.e. our ancestors tended to choose objectively beautiful mates and hence our species evolved to be beautiful and beauty became an important factor of attraction. This was possibly reinforced, narrowed and possibly overcomplicated by feedback loops like [[Fisherian runaway]] or sensory bias.<ref>Fuller, R. C., Houle, D., & Travis, J. 2005.

Not just looks, but also behavior can be beautiful, such as facial expressivity, physiognomy, as well as tone and clarity of voice. E.g. attractive behavior is elegant, has poise and wit etc. The opposite is awkwardness, lethargy, stuttering, violation of norms etc. | Not just looks, but also behavior can be beautiful, such as facial expressivity, [[physiognomy]], as well as tone and clarity of voice.
