Abstract
Hands of warm-skinned Caucasian individuals were significantly more attractive to Aëdes aegypti (L.) than cool-skinned individuals. An artificially cooled hand is very much less attractive than a normal one.Hands of Negroes were significantly more attractive than those of Orientals, and both were significantly more attractive than those of Caucasians. Hands of dark-skinned Caucasians were significantly more attractive than those of light-skinned Caucasians.Warmer skins were more attractive even if combined with a lighter skin hue, in Caucasian subjects. Thus skin hue is secondary to skin temperature in deciding the attractiveness of Caucasians.Hands of individuals with low moisture output were significantly more attractive than those of high moisture output. A hand induced to perspire freely was significantly less attractive than the normal hand.
