The neurobiology and evolutionary foundations of the perception of beauty

Abstract: The neurobiology and evolutionary foundations of the perception of beauty Beauty in human beings can be defined as physical attractiveness to the opposite sex. Although the perception of attractiveness varies between cultures and individuals to a certain extent, it is established that most of the criteria for attractiveness are common among many cultures. According to evolutionary psychologists, facial and body-related features that people find attractive reflect the adaptations determined by sexual selection,… Show more

“…The difference between these mean scores was statistically significant. It has been emphasized in the literature that the delayed release of natural oxytocin and prolactin during a planned caesarean delivery may also cause delayed maternal behavior, which may negatively affect maternal attachment (24,25). However, there have been no studies about the maternal attachment levels in terms of women undergoing planned caesarean sections, exclusively, before and after the beginning of labor.…”

“…The first kind are those conducted with adults across many different cultures. They reveal common attractiveness criteria both within‐ and across‐members of different ethnic groups (Cunningham et al., 1995; Esel & Polat‐Esel, 2017; Ishizu & Zeki, 2011).
