Physical Attractiveness and the Theory of Sexual Selection may be a promising
title. But the book itself, by Doug Jones (University of Michigan, $24,
ISBN 0 915703 40 8) is a dry report of a five-year investigation into the
features that appeal to the opposite sex, carried out among Brazilians,
Americans, Russians, and Paraguayan and Venezuelan Indians. There aren鈥檛 any
pin-ups. Some unsurprising conclusions are reached, such as that attractiveness
declines with age. Dogged reading with words such as 鈥渁daptionism鈥� and
鈥渘eotenous鈥� to savour.
