Facial masculinity does not appear to be a condition-dependent male ornament in humans and does not reflect MHC heterozygosity

Abstract excerpt

Facial masculinity is thought to be a condition-dependent male ornament, reflecting immunocompetence in humans. To test this hypothesis, we calculated an objective measure of facial masculinity/femininity using three-dimensional images in a large sample (N = 1,233) of people of European ancestry. We show that facial masculinity is positively correlated with adult height in both males and females. This suggests tha...
