fly me to the moon

I found an article at LiveScience titled "Is Attractiveness Hereditary?". Is it me or was this question answered a long time ago? Maybe it was just one of those assumptions science had yet to prove definitely.

This, on the other hand, was a bit of new information for me. Apparently attractive people have very "average" faces. That is, if you take a number of faces and then create a composite of them, an average, the result will be quite beautiful. Read the article to see exactly why. It has something to do with the brain's ability to take in information. The more recognizable the shape and features of a face, the easier it is on the brain - and hence, the brain is happier.
