Sexual imprinting in human mate choice.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Jun 2004

Bereczkei Tamas, Gyuris Petra, Weisfeld Glenn E

Abstract excerpt

Animal and human studies have shown that individuals choose mates partly on the basis of similarity, a tendency referred to as homogamy. Several authors have suggested that a specific innate recognition mechanism, phenotypic matching, allows the organism to detect similar others by their resemblance to itself. However, several objections have been raised to this theory on both empirical and theoretical grounds....
