    Default Darwins theory about natural selection. Might be why humans always strive for a good looking partner


    Curious jud ko before nganong ang tawo mamili jud ug hitsuraan ug sexy, physically fit and symmetrical body features especially sa dagway.

    From wikipedia about sexual selection:


    Sexual selection, a concept introduced by Charles Darwin in his 1859 book On the Origin of Species, is a significant element of his theory of natural selection. The sexual form of selection
    “ ... depends, not on a struggle for existence, but on a struggle between the males for possession of the females; the result is not death to the unsuccessful competitor, but few or no offspring.[1] ”
    “ ... when the males and females of any animal have the same general habits ... but differ in structure, colour, or ornament, such differences have been mainly caused by sexual selection.[2] ”

    His sexual selection examples include ornate peacock feathers, birds of Paradise, the antlers of stag (male deer), and the manes of lions.

    Darwin greatly expands his initial three-page treatment of Sexual Selection in the 1871 book The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to ***. This 900-page, two-volume work includes 70 pages on sexual selection in human evolution, and 500 pages on sexual selection in other animals.[3] In summary, while natural selection results from the struggle to survive, sexual selection emerges from the struggle to reproduce.
    “ The sexual struggle is of two kinds; in the one it is between individuals of the same ***, generally the males, in order to drive away or kill their rivals, the females remaining passive; whilst in the other, the struggle is likewise between the individuals of the same ***, in order to excite or charm those of the opposite ***, generally the females, which no longer remain passive, but select the more agreeable partners.

    The problem with this theory is that

    - too deterministic

    - largely speculative

    depende na sa society ug sa time. sa ato man gud mga pinoy, mga mestiza/mestizo ang attractive. naa pud uban cultures like chinese na naa some who prefer na rounded ang ilong instead of pointed kay that signifies goodluck and tambok kay that means makakaon pirmi and attractive ang mga baye with small feet, hence foot binding or what they call lotus feet. The kayan tribe sa Thailand, mas gwapa ang mga baye na taas kaayo ng neck.

    Also, Cleopatra was said to be one of the most beautiful woman in her time but based on recent discoveries and the standard of beauty today, she will not stand out.
