Body symmetry and physical strength in human males.

American journal of human biology : the official journal of the Human Biology Council - 1 Jan 2000

Fink Bernhard, Weege Bettina, Manning John T, Trivers Robert

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Body symmetry and physical strength in males have been related to aspects of mate "quality"-women seem to prefer men who display both "good genes" (as indexed by high symmetry/developmental health) and fighting ability (as indexed by physical strength). Here we show that fluctuating asymmetry (FA) of the body and physical strength are negatively correlated. METHODS: Body FA (from 12 paired traits) and...
