Sexual Selection Mechanism

The phenomenon of sexual selection as an evolutionary steering mechanism is severely underestimated by certain biologists. These biologists believe that evolutionary trends can all be traced back to the mechanism of natural selection. In doing so, they overlook the impact of positive feedback loops that arise over generations during sexual selection.

Modern humans have managed to break free from many natural selection mechanisms, such as predators, food availability, climate temperature, and so on. What remains is the sexual selection mechanism that shapes present-day humans and also future mankind.
However, the use of facial enhancement products (make-up, dental correction) by women messes up the natural sexual selection mechanism between man and woman.

Examples

In a young child (and baby), the nearly equilateral triangle is formed more by the distances between the two irises of the eyes and the nasal bulb. In an adult human (especially in a female face), the triangle is formed by the two eyes with the nose, or with the pursed mouth.

The nasal bulb, together with the two nasal cavities, forms a second face (A face within a face; or face under a face). In the ‘second face’, the nasal bulb corresponds to (the sheen of) the forehead, but in miniature form.

Babies and children often receive more attention from their parents and other people if they have a beautiful face. As a result, children begin to feel more self-confident, especially during puberty. This has a positive effect on their personality once they have become young adults. They feel more valued as human beings and are also (visually) more appreciated by those around them! Consequently, they have more ‘choice’ when selecting a reproductive partner.

Some people enjoy reading this paragraph, while others find this a hard truth that is difficult to digest. That is simply the way it is in the lives of people in a group.
You can try to improve this reality for your (grand)children through your choice of an acceptable partner.

Other people try to climb higher on the ‘love ladder’ during their own lives by using makeup or even plastic surgery (think of Michael Jackson’s face). However, from an evolutionary perspective, this is deception, because the effects of makeup and plastic surgery are not passed on through our genes!
