"The question," he said, "is whether ugly people have fewer offspring than handsome people. I doubt it very much. If the number of offspring are the same for these two categories, there's absolutely no evolutionary reason for parents to invest less in ugly kids."......this is the where evoltionary argument is going.....

Whether or not evolution is true (and I don't believe it is), why does he doubt that ugly people have fewer offspring than handsome people? Statistically, it's probably a given that in today's society ugly people have difficulty finding mates and getting married. This should, in the long run, translate into fewer offspring...

Whatever happened to "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"?

However, these days marriage seems to have little to do with producing offspring!
