“If you had no variation at all, you wouldnt get evolution, Petrie told LiveScience.”
I don’t see any sign of evolution in modern man.

How about because people have varying concepts of "beauty?"
What is attractive to one, could be ugly to another (for animals).
Add onto this humans, who hopefully are not so base that all humans marry based on physical appearance.

But we have seen lots of ugly folks. Because it has less to do with what they are born with, and more to do with their souls shining through the exterior. ;)

For some species, females select the most attractive males to mate with: female peacocks will choose males with the longest tail feathersthe peacock version of George Clooney. This should never be mentioned without referencing Zahavi.

Also, the idea of ‘beautiful’ changes over time and culture. A trip to a portrait gallery will show you that.

My oh my, how educated these dumb people are.
This is easy: once upon a time, God ordained that::
“There shall be an Ass for Every Seat!”
And people have been obedient to that law since time began.

Because they find each other.

As a seventy plus year male, I have been puzzling over this for many years. I very much appreciate this information.

I dont see any sign of evolution in modern man.Actually, there are plenty of signs of ongoing evolution in human beings. Two recent studies, for example, showed evidence that human brains have evolved (and are continuing to evolve) new genes within the last 10,000 years.
