Human Universals Quotes

― Geoffrey Miller, The Mating Mind: How Sexual Choice Shaped the Evolution of Human Nature

“Women differ in the exact male height they prefer, but almost always prefer a man taller than themselves. Different ethnic groups may prefer different facial features, but all prefer faces that are symmetrical and averagely shaped for their population.

― Geoffrey Miller, The Mating Mind: How Sexual Choice Shaped the Evolution of Human Nature
