Abstract

The application of evolutionary biological theory to attractiveness judgments of our own species has revolutionized our understanding of a perenially fascinating phenomenon — the perception of beauty. In this review paper, I hope to briefly discuss how an evolutionary approach has added to our understanding of the psychology of human facial attractiveness judgements. I will also raise some theoretical and methodological concerns, and outline what I feel are the most important outstanding questions in the area.
