Thar discovered 19 months ago- Beauty may not actually be in the eye of the beholder. While long considered a slave to cultural whims, beauty may be less arbitrary than people thought. Assessments of facial attractiveness do not vary significantly across cultures, and even adults and infants find the same faces attractive. Clearly something beyond just culture is driving our perceptions of beauty.

- From the page: "If Winkielman and Halberstadt are correct, then beauty depends on what kind of faces you are exposed to. "In places like London or New York, your category is wider," because you are exposed to a wider variety of people, Winkielman said. "But in places with separation of ethnicities, a multiracial face might look weird.""

- Prototypical faces, such as these composites, elicit higher ratings of attractiveness because they are easier for the brain to process, researchers say. (Photos courtesy of Mike Mike)

- From the page: ""Prototypes are not exciting. They are extraordinary because they are so well balanced, but they are not intriguing," he said."
