EL PROMEDIO ES SINONIMO DE BELLEZA ?

Quiero compartirles un artículo que me parece interesante en donde dice que las mujeres con proporciones faciales cercanas al promedio son hermosas:

"Women with facial proportions that are closest to average are considered the most beautiful by their peers, research suggests.”

… y que los humanos, tenemos un prototipo mental de belleza, el cual asimila el promedio de las proporciones faciales con un rostro bello, igualmente este estudio dice que la simetría en un rostro indica buena salud y por ende belleza.

“Though it is unknown why faces that follow these proportions are considered lovelier, researchers say one theory is that humans have a mental prototype that represents an average of all faces and those that are closest to it are considered the most appealing. Previous research has shown that those with symmetrical faces are also perceived as more beautiful, possibly because the symmetry indicates good health. It is possible that evolutionary biology dictates that average faces are viewed in much the same way, the study authors noted.”

Estas pruebas se hicieron realizando pequeñas modificaciones a un rostro

“Researchers from the University of California San Diego and the University of
Toronto asked college students to view digital photos of women's faces that were
identical except for slight alterations in certain facial proportions, including
placement of the eyes and the relationship between the eyes and mouth.”

Creo yo que sin ofender a nadie; que si la distribución normal tuviera rostro de mujer seria parecida a la de Shakira, Maria Sharapova, Kelly Brook, Hayden Panettierre, Scarlett Johansson.
