What is beauty?

three parameters regard of human appearance:

• averaging

• symmetry

• and the effects of hormones

  ​

Why sometimes handicaps like "peacock's tail" / "human Testosterone " remains during evolution?

• because of sex selection

• handicap will become universal

  preferences for specific physical features can be arbitrary for the individual, if those features are heritable and they are associated with a reproductive advantage, over time, they become universal for the group.

Others:

• attractive faces activate parts of our reward and pleasure centers in the front and deep in the brain
• automatic responses to beauty within our pleasure centers
• "beauty is good" stereotype
