Beautiful women have beautiful daughters: women becoming more gorgeous, men remaining plain
Boffins have made another startling discovery.
Beautiful women are more likely to have daughters than sons. Those daughters are genetically predisposed to be beautiful too. And beautiful women are more likely to have more childer than the general population - thus ensuring that they populate the earth with as much beauty as possible.
But there's a sting in the tail of all this. Although women are evolving to become a super race of gorgeousness, men are not. Evolution has recognised that a man can look like any old yoke and still pick up a fine lady - so it's not been necessary to evolve male looks from Neanderthal status.

I can see we'll never hear the end of this from Beaut.ie Mammy. She has three daughters and no sons.
What do you think about these findings?
