In the 1990s, a number of sociobiologists (or evolutionary anthropologists) proposed that the most average face would be considered the most attractive, and to prove it, they had test subjects rate digitally averaged faces against real faces, and determined that in virtually every case the average face was chosen over the non-average faces.Although subsequent research has shown that the attractiveness of the average face is dependent on the attractiveness of the source faces, the research demonstrates a powerful truth: symmetry and an even skin tone are two of the most important features in making a face attractive.
