Historically, craniofacial genetic research has understandably focused on identifying the
causes of craniofacial anomalies and it has only been within the last 10 years, that there has …

In view of disease risk, Kong et al.(2012) demonstrated that most of the new mutations are
explained by the age of the father at conception. Accordingly, paternal age effects have …

Common diseases often show sex differences in prevalence, onset, symptomology,
treatment, or prognosis. Although studies have been performed to evaluate sex differences …

For women, choosing a facially masculine man as a mate is thought to confer genetic
benefits to offspring. Crucial assumptions of this hypothesis have not been adequately …

Intergenerational transmission of inequality is a central question in the social sciences. We
use one trait, beauty, to infer how much parents' physical characteristics transmit inequality …

Women's faces and voices may be cues to their reproductive potential. If so, then individual
differences in indices of female fecundity and residual reproductive value, such as hormonal …

Popular theory suggests that facial averageness is preferred in a partner for genetic benefits
to offspring. However, whether facial averageness is associated with genetic quality is yet to …

The sexes share the same autosomal genomes, yet sexual dimorphism is common due to
sex‐specific gene expression. When present, XX and XY karyotypes trigger alternate …

Previous research has demonstrated that perceived availability of environmental resources
affects the mate choice of females. However, it is unclear whether women's partnership …
