Abstract

Studies found that parents' facial features can predict children's facial features genetically. In addition, both parents and daughters are more likely to choose attractive men as their daughters' mates, possibly because facial attractiveness preference also has a genetic role. Therefore, this study explores whether parents' facial attractiveness preference has a genetic predictive effect on children's facial attractiveness preference.
