QOVES Beauty Podcast Ep. 15 - Male Beauty Standards | The Evolution of Facial Robusticity
🕑 Added 2021-11-06 06:05:08 +0000 UTCFor decades, the consensus on male facial robusticity has been that it evolved due to the dietary needs of our early hominin ancestors (see a picture below of what we believe the Australopithicus Afarensis looked like). The discussed paper by David Carrier disputes this, however. We discuss the reasons for this, and the implications it has for why male beauty standards (in particular; leanness and angularity) exist.

No problem!
Thanks for the episode! Can we get a episode on how body posture affects the face and development ... thanks for you work
audio quality not great, but interesting. I'd like to hear your perspective on the evolution of feminine traits (in both women and men)
