Since when is symmetry relevant? I thought it has been sufficiently shown that symmetry plays no role for beauty. Pretty sure fitness has a bigger impact on beauty than features you cannot change without surgery.
- iansane 11y agoI remember in biology we learned that symmetry is an indicator of good genetics, so it makes sense that we are biased to symmetry since higher fitness/survivability.
- dragandj 11y agoNot only symmetry, but also the proportions. People are evolutionary wired to use symmetry and proportions of faces and bodies to estimate health and survival/reproduction "value". This is not the only factor, of course, but a huge one.
