Genetic determination of height-mediated mate choice.

Genome biology - 19 Jan 2016

Tenesa Albert, Rawlik Konrad, Navarro Pau, Canela-Xandri Oriol

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Numerous studies have reported positive correlations among couples for height. This suggests that humans find individuals of similar height attractive. However, the answer to whether the choice of a mate with a similar phenotype is genetically or environmentally determined has been elusive. RESULTS: Here we provide an estimate of the genetic contribution to height choice in mates in 13,068 genotyped...
