Beauty is highly subjective...

The picture they show (can't post here) bears that out. Those two look fairly average to me.

Yet it’s very easy to detect patterns when you survey a range of subjects about a set of photos. Which is how science works.

My explanation is that pretty women can have the pick of men, and smart (rich) men can have their pick of women, so they tend to pick each other. Which results in kids that are above average smarts and looks.
