    Biological instincts will seek advantages and avoid harm. Take human beings as an example, we like smart people, and people are very dependent on IQ; Likes beautiful things, which are pleasing to the eye from a visual point of view alone. Many biases manifest themselves genetically, and biological instincts allow us to choose the side that is beneficial to us.

    People like good-looking people, because good-looking people are prone to cause a "halo effect". Causing a certain visual impact, the subconscious will naturally beautify the "ta" in the eye, producing an illusion that "everything is good, at least, it looks good on the surface."

    Ancient humans. First of all, the word "good-looking" originally takes away a strong regionality, the times and subjective color, different people have different definitions of "good-looking", maybe you think someone is good-looking, I don't think it's good-looking!

    Also, not to mention that the definition of good-looking is a vague concept, most people like good-looking people does not mean that there is no "market" for ugly (relatively speaking) people, God is fair, we often find that good-looking women do not necessarily marry good-looking men, and even many marry ugly men, all kinds of reasons are really hard to say! The offspring of a good-looking person are not necessarily good-looking, this is not absolute, and the offspring of your ugly person may also be good-looking!

    Modern. There is a good saying: good-looking can't be eaten, although good-looking people in this era will indeed have a certain advantage, but the real decisive factor is the internal and external things!

    Is Jack Ma good-looking? If it is an ordinary person, Ma Yun must be one of the representatives of ugliness, but why is Ma Yun so "tall and mighty" today?

    Also, from an evolutionary point of view, looking good doesn't make you more adaptable to the environment, and the environment here is the environment in a broad sense, not the human social environment! Looking good doesn't make you live longer, have a better body, and adapt more to changes in your environment!

    From a philosophical point of view, the existence of good-looking should be thanks to ugly people, and if there is no ugly, how can it be good-looking? Just as there is no short man, where is the tall man? From this point of view, human beings will never evolve towards good-looking, and good-looking and ugly go hand in hand!

    People have very high requirements for their own appearance and the appearance of others, people like to look good, from the perspective of natural competition, good-looking human beings are indeed beneficial to survival, in the view of biologists, the determinants of appearance are more determined by genes.

    Everyone has their own opinion on the definition of good-looking, although there are many recognized beauties in this world, but the so-called recognition is only the opinion of some people, everyone's definition of good-looking is completely different, and the evolutionary selection of this creature is completely different.

    Everyone's aesthetics are different, although my fair lady and gentleman are good, but turnip greens have their own love, some like good-looking, some like ugly, so it is not balanced.

    Because whether you look good or not is a genetic choice, and an individual's ability is not determined by whether you look good or not, so human beings choose to focus on ability.

    This is not something that you can choose on your own initiative, it all depends on the choice of genes.

    Everyone likes to be beautiful, but how many can really marry or marry a good-looking person? Coupled with factors such as genetic variation, the likelihood of having a beautiful child is further reduced. People don't have to look good to live.

    In ancient times, appearance was not the first choice of primitive people, and there are many examples in the biological world today, such as lions, tigers, reindeer and other large animals will go through fights before courtship, and finally the stronger one is more likely to win the favor of the opposite sex, because being strong means that it is safer to stay by its side, which is more conducive to food security, and it is more conducive to the breeding of offspring. However, there are some creatures, such as birds of paradise, which will show their beautiful feathers before courtship, but in nature, beautiful feathers also represent health, if a bird is full of parasites and alopecia areata, it naturally means that it is not very healthy, and combining with it is not conducive to gene transmission.

    Mendelian genetic experiments have shown that a certain trait of living organisms has a certain proportion within a population, especially after modern humans figured out that the expression of traits is controlled by genes.

    Human beings will choose good-looking objects more subjectively due to problems such as face, and physical health is also a consideration, but it may be a secondary consideration without affecting fertility, but the frequency of good-looking themselves in the human population is not too high, and the proportion of their offspring in the population will not be particularly high. There are doubts about this question, in fact, there is still a relatively little understanding of the modern theory of biological evolution, the purpose of biological survival is to pass on genes and adapt to the environment through genetic variation, not to look good.

    For a long time in human history, appearance was by no means beautiful in the aesthetics of modern people, with a prominent jaw and deep brow bones, but it cannot be denied that there would be no modern humans without them. Being good-looking may have a certain advantage in interpersonal communication, but it is not the standard for everyone to choose a mate, and the possibility of downward genetic inheritance will not be very high.

    It's normal for people to like to look good, because everyone likes beautiful things, and the reason why they haven't evolved to look good is because everyone's genes are different, which is also a change in the natural environment.

    The evolution of species is influenced by environmental factors, and the process of purification is slow and cannot be achieved overnight. I believe that over time, most people will evolve in the direction of becoming better-looking.

    Although everyone likes good-looking people, not everyone has good-looking genes, so some people have not evolved in the direction of good-looking.

    Because human evolution is controlled by the environment, and the direction of human evolution is intelligence, some people do not evolve in the direction of good looks.

    Yes, because this situation is universal, and gradually everyone's genes become very perfect, and they will become more and more beautiful.

    This question is difficult, I think it is possible, but people's aesthetics are changing in different ways, so no one knows if the future high-value charm will not meet the current aesthetics.

    No, because there are still people who don't care about appearance, and they can't represent everything.

    Whether it is a man or a woman, whether it is an old man or a child, everyone likes to have a good-looking face, which is the nature of human beings, and the so-called "love of beauty everyone has" is this truth.

    In fact, not only people, all animals are beauty-loving, many animals will show their appearance when courting, animals with a strong and strong body are often more able to compete for the right to mate, and birds with beautiful feathers are more likely to gain the favor of the opposite sex. It is the nature of all animals to love beauty, and it is also necessary for reproduction. In the animal world, having a strong body and beautiful feathers itself represents the health of the body, and having a healthy body can ensure the reproduction of the species.

    In human society, being good-looking can get a lot of convenience.

    For example, we often say that love at first sight has a great relationship with appearance, and it can even be said to have a 100% relationship.

    Any species must continue the species through reproduction, but the competition for survival is extremely fierce, to ensure the continuation of the species must pass on the best genes, so how to identify the excellent genes?

    It is only by appearance that usually good-looking individuals have healthier bodies and intelligent minds. Speaking of which, many people may have to cite counterexamples, many well-known successful people, their appearance is not outstanding. Indeed, the main reason for the success of these successful people is their incomparable perseverance and determination to face adversity, not because of their excellent genes and smart brains.

    Most of them couldn't even get to the Mensa Club.

    Some scientists have conducted a study on this, according to the evaluation of the public review of the participants divided into two groups, good-looking and bad-looking, the results show that the average IQ level of the good-looking group is significantly higher than that of the bad-looking group, and the overall health of the good-looking group is better than that of the bad-looking group, although the sample data of this study is limited, and it is not an authoritative study, but it can explain the reason for the "love of beauty" of human beings from the side.

    In this case, will humans evolve more and more beautifully in the future? This situation is indeed possible, because good-looking people have more reproductive advantages, so their genes have a higher probability of being passed on, in fact, in terms of the old ** that has been handed down, I personally think that modern people seem to be better looking than people in the past.

    However, the essence of evolution is to adapt to the environment so as to obtain better survivability, and whether it is beautiful or not has nothing to do with survival.

    And evolution is a passive behavior, and it has to go through a long process, and it will not be transferred by people's subjective will, so for thousands of years, although there seems to be some progress in human appearance as a whole, there is no particularly obvious change, and there is no such thing as a camera before, we can't compare, but at least from the bone point of view, there is no change. And human beings are different from other animals, under the human civilization system, all people have the opportunity to obtain the right to reproduce, so the situation of handsome guys and beauties everywhere will not happen, and beauty and ugliness itself is a very subjective opinion, and there is no fixed measurement standard.

    I think yes, compared to the ancient Homo sapiens, the current human face has changed a lot, and it is getting better and better with the current aesthetics, and human beings will continue to develop in this direction in the future, after all, a good skin can bring us a lot of benefits.

    Human beings will definitely evolve in a more advanced direction in the future, but it is uncertain whether they will evolve better. Evolution in general is based on the combined influence of biological activities, labor, diet, and so on. As for whether humans will become better-looking, maybe they will become better-looking, because the evolution from apes to humans is to become better-looking.

    From an evolutionary point of view, natural selection, we will all go in our own favorable direction, so human beings will become more and more beautiful, and they will become more and more powerful.

    If we ignore the changes in the internal structure of human evolution, then the more human beings evolve, the better they look.

    Judging from the appearance characteristics of human beings alone, the more good-looking people are, the more likely they are to be favored by the opposite sex, the greater the chance of reproduction, the more offspring they can produce, and the more their "good-looking" genes can be continued and spread. Coupled with the superposition effect of the "good-looking" genes of both sides, there are more and more "good-looking" humans, and the distribution is becoming more and more widespread.

    It should be, because modern people are now more and more able to dress up, and if they can't do it, they will have plastic surgery.

    In the future, with the deepening of genetic research, various factors that affect appearance, such as teeth, hair, skin color, muscles, and other factors, will be pre-set.

    According to evolution, no, human evolution will only develop in a direction that suits its own survival, such as global warming, and human beings are more resistant to high temperatures, and appearance will not hinder human survival.

    This depends on the future living environment, humans are also animals, and they will change their own conditions according to the living environment. In other words, if good-looking people become partners and reproduce in the future, they may be able to make humans more and more beautiful.

    People with good faces have strong immunity and have many antibodies in their bodies.

    This is a fundamental point of evolutionary psychology. I remember doing an experiment. A group of people is divided into men and women, and the epidemic strength is tested and the epidemic is ranked according to the final result.

    Step 2: Rely on a large number of volunteers to score this group of men and women, according to how good they look, and the final result is also ranked.

    As a result, the two rankings were basically the same. That is to say, we recognize the beautiful and handsome guys who accept the banquet, and they have a greater probability of living in good health.

    Very simple. It's like eating, your brain doesn't think and say, this piece of meat has a lot of calories, so eat more, it just knows that the meat, the meat, excited, delicious, and then secretes dopamine, and then you can't wait to eat it.

    In the same way, when the brain tells us that they are good-looking, it actually means that the genes have chosen a better breeding partner for us in the background.

    Sorry, but it's right to look at faces most of the time. <>
