Tempest you are cracking me up. ;D
Maybe it's just the area you live in? Or you just have really high standards. ;) lol I don't fucking know. In my opinion we have a generous amount of gorgeous women here in the Bay Area. I do notice that there are a hell of a lot more in certain areas than others though.

Uh huh and we continue to have an obesity epidemic in America ?? So are people getting more beautiful or are we just lowering our standards? Maybe people are getting dumber.

This article wasn't even written for the states media, it was written by a U.K. reporter, for U.K. news (The Times of London)... there's more out there than just the states, and their obesity epidemic.

Yep....there's all us BigMac munching 'roly-poly's' here in the UK too. It's actually becoming a very serious problem over here.

The field is called evolutionary biology. It's true pretty much. But almost all of the evolution happened thousands of generations ago.

Well for the exceptions.
They have recorded rapid spread of genes involved in adult lactose digestion in europe and africa from 3,000 years ago (different genes).
Blue eyes are relatively new (6,000 to 10,000 years ago), the immune system has changed for cities and domesticated animals. 90% of native americans died out to bring this change to the new world.
Introduction of alcohol got rid of the people who couldn't handle alcohol. I'm sure there's more.

I live near Chicago though in a rural area. Most people whether on my street or downtown are obese. I see so many women who look like Roseanne or Rosie O'Donnell. Chicago is one of the fattest cities.
Re: "women are getting more beautiful"--a new "beauty race"??
Coincedentally, I saw a story on a research study today that found that attractive couples tended to bear more girls than boys...which would, I assume, mean those girls would be more attractive, and lead to an evolutionary path of more and more attractive females.

I've heard that! (Chicago is one of the "fattest" cities) It didn't seem too much fatter than many other cities... I was only there 2 days however and was working most of the time. There must be some damn good food there then! I only ate at the club and my hotel though, meh.
Re: "women are getting more beautiful"--a new "beauty race"??
I see uglies having more kids than ever. And the more attractive people tend to keep it steady at 1-2 kid limit....
As for beautiful women having daughers more than sons, I agree to a level on this, not only "beautiful" women, but any female in general can produce a female than a male.
Females can only produce XX(ff) chromosomes while the males can produce XY(fm). Its the males sperm that will determine the future sex of a baby.

beautiful women's bodies/eggs could be more resistant to the Y chromosome sperm
Re: "women are getting more beautiful"--a new "beauty race"??
Or, perhaps hot men have more opportunity to release their sperm with greater frequency (into fertile wombs). There may be higher chances in which the sperm will live longer to make it to the egg (it takes longer for sperm with female producing chromosomes to make it to the egg, so perhaps men who don't ejaculate regularly in women tend to have more male producing chromosomes who swim even more eagerly towards the egg).
Also, "attractive men" may have more female producing sperm as their visible characteristics that make them "hot" are characteristically feminine, or at least considered attractive in both sexes: long lashes, healthy, shiny hair, lean muscle mass, big pretty eyes, full lips, etc....Think of the stereotypical "pretty boy" and how many women line up to sleep with them (or would, given the opportunity) as opposed to their less 'pretty' counterparts."
Just a thought.
