Jamaican Symmetry Project: long-term study of fluctuating asymmetry in rural Jamaican children.

Human biology - 1 Jun 1999

Trivers R, Manning J T, Thornhill R, Singh D, McGuire M

Abstract excerpt

Fluctuating asymmetry, small deviations from perfect bilateral symmetry, is negatively correlated with health and positively correlated with sexual selection in human adults, but the accumulation, persistence, and fitness implications of asymmetries during childhood are largely unknown. Here, we introduce the Jamaican Symmetry Project, a long-term study of fluctuating asymmetry and its physical and behavioral...
