Perceived health, attractiveness and symmetry, with a test of the ability of Homo sapiens to discriminate facial symmetry across species.

Proportion and symmetry are thought to be very important for animals to appreciation their daily life. This study aims to explore if facial asymmetry affects interspecific perception of health, beauty, and symmetry. Previous study show there is positive relationship between symmetry and perceived he...
