Tips for Protecting Children from Environmental Threats

Mediocre variety. Why are all beautiful faces so similar to each other – Knife

Have you ever wondered why all the models in fashion shows look the same? At first, this feeling seems to be gone, because we see different skin and hair tones, different body parameters, different races. But if you watch a string of models long enough, it becomes somehow unsettling: as if the vision is endlessly doubled when looking at each new face. It’s even embarrassing to admit it to myself: I see the same thing. And it turns out, not only me. nine0003

The most intuitive and logical response to such an observation is the desire to measure. Measure and derive the beauty formula. This desire is as old as the world: the ancient Greeks used to say that “all beauty is mathematics.”

Of the most striking examples: both Leonardo da Vinci and Albrecht Dürer conducted mathematical studies of beauty and believed in its mathematical explanation through ideal proportions.

In our time, the aesthetic surgeon Stephen Marquardt picked up all this mathematical baggage and went beyond theoretical formulas and proportions on paper. It’s time for practical application. Being a plastic surgeon, he did not do bust augmentation – he often had to create part of the appearance from scratch. That is, often the question before him was not, for example, to correct the chin, but to make the chin of a person who lost it as a result of an accident. nine0003

In this position, you feel a bit like a god or the hand of nature itself, as you like. And I want to approach the matter accordingly.

Instead of offering patients copies of Brad Pitt’s chin, the surgeon went much further and began to look for patterns of beauty, and not blindly copy successful examples.

So he made a mask of beauty that defines the ideal features that apply to faces considered beautiful at different times in different cultures. This mask is built on the principles of the golden ratio, or the ratio 1:1.618. Marquardt simply applied the findings of da Vinci and Durer in practice – and patented them. nine0003

Stephen Marquardt proved that the beauty of the human face is not in the eye of the beholder. And he did it in the traditional way: by measuring and calculating the golden ratio. What he did was the most obvious approach to the problem, the most intuitive: collect images of only beautiful people and, roughly speaking, measure them up and down with a ruler.

However, the most obvious approach is not always the most correct one. Sometimes an unexpected angle of view on a problem becomes the key to a landmark discovery. Copernicus here would agree with us completely. nine0003

It is very difficult to go beyond the already established perception, so sometimes the role of the genius of discovery is played by chance. Pure chance.

So, you can look for one thing and find something completely different, and it may turn out to be a more valuable discovery. The story of the accidental discovery of Francis Galton is a vivid example of this. This Victorian gentleman was a very versatile man, a polymath. Both an inventor and a meteorologist, as well as, among other things, a supporter of “scientific racism” and the founder of eugenics. As they say, and the Swiss, and the reaper, and the player on the pipe. By the way, he died just a couple of decades before Hitler came to power: ideas were clearly in the air. nine0003

Galton, like Dürer, da Vinci and Marquardt, sought to measure a person. But if the latter focused on pure mathematics and ideal proportions, the former was interested in psychology.

He included mental measurements in anthropometric data, therefore he also became famous as the “father of psychometrics”. Man does not live by eugenics alone.

Based on psychometrics, Galton wanted to highlight the types of appearance that would help diagnose and even recognize criminals. He proceeded from the fact that certain types of people should have external features common to this type. To test this hypothesis, he collected photographs of two groups of people: vegetarians and criminals (it seems that for Galton one ruled out the other: how can a vegetarian become a criminal?). He superimposed images of people selected by groups and derived a composite image from them in such a way that each feature of each individual portrait contributed to the position of the average feature. So Galton obtained the first averaged portrait in history using the overlay technique. It was not possible to identify any specific characteristic from the averaged portraits, but Sir Galton noticed that the composite face turned out to be more beautiful than all the faces that participated in its compilation. This experience was published back in 1878. However, Galton’s find did not receive due attention of the scientific community for a whole century. nine0003

It wasn’t until the 1990s that Judith Langlois and Laurie Roggman repeated Galton’s experiment using digital technology. The average facial features were calculated by the computer using pixel morphing. Since the Victorian era, technology has advanced, but the result of the experiment has remained unchanged: mathematically averaged faces are superior in beauty to their “donors”. Also, this time the approach was more scientific and versatile than in Sir Victorian times. There was more introductory material: 192 photographs of young Caucasian men and women. In addition, combinations for averaged faces varied across 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32 photographs.

Then all the faces – both real and average – were rated for attractiveness by 300 participants on a five-point Likert scale. It turned out that the 32-component face was the most visually appealing of all. See for yourself. That is, the most “average” face was chosen as the most attractive, because it had the most combinational “donors”. nine0003

In the avalanche of research that began on this topic, the methods of calculating the average varied, studied both the average profile and the average face – and everything led to the same conclusion: the average face inevitably looks more attractive than the faces that make it up.

The average face always turned out younger and thinner. The eyes were large, the lower jaw inevitably came out narrower, and the distance from nose to mouth and from nose to chin turned out to be less than in the real faces of the participants. Composite faces were evaluated by representatives of different nationalities – and unanimously gave the palm to a non-existent, average person. The theory of the golden section sparkled with new colors: we clearly saw how this section is born from a certain common whole. And this common whole, average, does not come out as something ordinary – we see features that could belong to a real person with their own individuality. Indeed, the features of models often approach the features of an average face when they are superimposed on each other. And here it seems that you can exaggerate the colors of beauty to infinity: if you make an average face using portraits of models, then the generated portrait will inevitably be more beautiful than the average portrait of people with ordinary appearance. One can only imagine how the world will go blind from the beauty of an average portrait from a set of average portraits of models. But in fact, the limit to the condensation of beauty inevitably exists, because often averaged portraits are similar to each other. Therefore, fashion shows can provoke ripples in the eyes. We are protected from the abuse of beauty by cold mathematical calculation and the ratio of 1:1.618. nine0003

Is beauty really that conservative and a step to the right or left of the golden ratio limit universally unacceptable? Is it really that even gender or racial characteristics do not affect attractiveness in any way?

The average face of a woman and a man looks almost the same. A beautiful male face is relatively effeminate. Apparently, beauty is so conservative that it pays almost no attention to gender.

The racial factor is a bit more complicated. It is difficult to study racial characteristics in the context of globalization: mass culture covers all continents with its influence. But don’t lose hope – isolated African tribes still exist. So, Coren Apichella and her colleagues at Harvard University created an average portrait of 20 faces of a hunter-gatherer tribe from Tanzania, the Hadza people. And for contrast, they made an average portrait of a Briton according to the same principle. Representatives of both cultures found the average face to be the most attractive of all. One thing: the British agreed with the beauty of both the British and African arithmetic mean faces. And the Hadza tribe agreed only with the beauty of the composite portrait, assembled from images of the faces of their fellow tribesmen. Apicella suggests that this may be due to the Hadza’s lack of visual experience with Caucasoid faces, while the British are intimately familiar with African ethnic features. nine0003

Yes, the beauty of the human face is not in the eye of the beholder, but the eye of the beholder is clearly tuned to see it regardless of gender, race or culture. Based on Apicella’s conclusions, it is enough to have a visual experience in principle. That is, the skill of recognizing the beautiful is an acquired skill, not an innate one. And how quickly is it acquired? From what moment do people join the beautiful in the face of another?

The answer to this question will be prompted by the child’s reaction to the beauty of the face. Studies have found that children spend longer looking at faces that adults consider beautiful. With a long glance, children also see average faces, along with real beautiful faces. That is, the recognition of beauty begins at an early age. From which one exactly? Almost since birth. Certainly before the start of socialization with parents and peers. nine0003

Stop.

Then why don’t the Hadza people from Apicella’s studies recognize the beauty of the average face of the British, since the subjects saw several images of representatives of the Caucasoid race?

There is an assumption that to run the beauty calculation mechanism, you need to see real faces, and not two-dimensional images.

It can also be assumed that during socialization, the concepts of beauty can “stiffen” under the influence of the surrounding culture. Of course, it is enough to see only a few faces in your life in order to acquire the ability to subconsciously calculate their patterns and recognize the most attractive ones. But it is better to do this at an early age, and not as an adult, fully formed psychologically and culturally. nine0003

Research into the Hadza people is not necessarily inconsistent with research on newborns. Today, there is no doubt: almost from birth, a person discovers in himself the ability to create a mental prototype by averaging the values ​​of signs.

Why is this needed? Both adults and infants organize sensory information into categories (such as flowers, fruits, cats, etc.) to navigate the world. It is much easier to recognize a flower, having an idea of ​​a flower in mind, than to be excited each time by the individual aspects of a particular flower that is in front of us: its smell, shape, color, and recognize it every time as the first. We would walk around with our mouths open and look at every object we encountered for a very long time, and our brain would get very tired from the number of impressive discoveries per minute. Organizing in your head saves a lot of energy! nine0003

Another question: how exactly does the brain build such categories? Scientific approach: just make a list of signs. Let’s say the qualities “sweet, growing on a tree” can be signs of a fruit. This categorization is the simplest and most understandable, and therefore has been used in science since the time of Aristotle. But our brain is not a natural scientist: it does not make lists. And ordering the world around you in your head is critically important from birth!

And our brain goes the other way: it averages individual examples in the head and creates a prototype, the central representative of the category. The most apple apple, the most watermelon watermelon in our head are the prototypes by which we recognize any other apple or watermelon. It is the same with faces: we form in our minds the prototype of the most human person, the most central member of the category. After viewing several examples of faces, both adults and infants respond to the average representation of these examples as familiar. This demonstrates the formation of mental prototypes that the brain relies on to recognize new instances. Although evolution gave us this ability a long time ago, humanity managed to consider and understand it only in 1990s thanks to the work of psychologist Eleonora Roche.

We meet different faces and compare them with the prototype of the face that was formed in our head in early childhood. Being within the framework of a certain society, we see approximately the same types of faces. Therefore, we have a common idea of ​​​​the prototype. The prototype face is an average and inevitably attractive portrait. But why is he attractive? Why do we experience aesthetic pleasure when we see an average or close to an average face? Aesthetic pleasure goes beyond the simple recognition and categorization of the surrounding world. nine0003

It is quite possible that we are born with a preference for average appearance because it tells us something about other people. If there is a reaction, there is also an irritant. But what kind of signal and at what level is sent to us when we encounter a stunning appearance? Our attraction to beautiful faces can be explained by several levels of human nature. The first floor is animal, biological nature. The second floor is cultural superstructures dictated by the complexly organized life among their own kind. nine0003

Let’s start at the lowest level, with genes and instincts. From a genetic point of view, close-to-average faces signal the diversity of genes with which its owner was born. Gene diversity promises a fruitful partner because it results in less common proteins to which parasites do not adapt well. In addition, the average genotype is less likely to develop a malignant mutation. The average face is symmetrical, and symmetry tells us either about resistance to adverse external factors, or about the possibility of avoiding them. For example, Turkish researcher Barish Yozener found a pattern according to which schoolchildren from poor areas have greater facial asymmetry than children from richer areas. This supports the idea that the harsher the environment, the higher the risk of formation failures. Therefore, the desire to choose a more average partner is quite understandable, so as not to pass on possible violations to their children. nine0003

Biologists have given this desire its name – koinophilia, or a preference for the absence of unusual features in a sexual partner, a preference for his external commonness. It turns out some kind of sexual conservatism: koinophilia relies on traditions, because the average phenotypic traits have proven their vitality for generations. If a common feature occurs frequently, and its alternatives are rare, then you can be sure of the superiority of the first. And therefore, a sexual partner with common characteristics is much more attractive to koinophiles. nine0003

Yes, averaging can help us find healthy partners. But not all living beings are koinophiles. This instinct manifests itself to varying degrees in different individuals.

Maybe people like average, pretty faces simply because they are easier for our brains to digest? Judith Langlois and her team in Texas studied this issue using electroencephalography, measuring electrical activity in the brain using small electrodes attached to the participants’ heads. They were shown faces of varying degrees of attractiveness. It turned out that average and attractive faces are recognized as “human” faster than unattractive ones. In average non-existent faces, participants recognized a person even faster than in real attractive faces. And this is logical: the closer the example is to the prototype, the faster the recognition. nine0003

The quest to comprehend and explain prototypes began with Plato and his theory that the physical world is not as real or true as eternal, absolute, unchanging ideas. Moreover, for Plato, the concepts of absolute idea and absolute form meant the same thing: the essence of all things, the real examples of which were just likenesses. In this logic, essentialism was born, an attitude to the existence of a deep essence and the unchanging nature of things.

Caution! This attitude, like the mechanism of our perception of beauty, has a conservative vein. The logic of essentialism proceeds from the fact that there is something predetermined in a person. Many would definitely disagree with this, for example, existentialists and most feminist movements .

But if we do not take this attitude to the absolute and filter out the sound idea of ​​the need for categorization for our brain, then we can attack Jung’s trail with his concept of the archetype.

An archetype is a tendency to perceive things in a certain way. Archetypes are comparable to instincts in the sense that, long before the development of consciousness, it was the impersonal and inherited traits of a person that motivated his behavior. People react to the external beauty of a person almost from birth, and this is a very definite reaction: small children hold their eyes, and adults admire, experience sexual attraction, show favor. It turns out that the reaction to beauty is also archetypal. How to find this archetype? nine0003

We must turn to the collective unconscious, the “mental heritage”, the reservoir of our experience as a species. Although we can never be directly aware of it, this experience influences our emotional behavior. The archetype does not have a fixed form. But it acts as an “organizing principle” of behavior, as a mental instinct. An archetype is like a black hole in space: we only know of its existence by the way it pulls matter towards itself.

But people do not get tired of trying to personify archetypes. Beauty can be found in the archetype of the kora, or young maiden. Beauty is also an attribute of the mother archetype. Thus, the archetype of beauty pervades both youth and maturity. Of course, society can put more pressure on the pedals of some archetype. For example, the cult of beauty as youth and femininity in our society clearly dominates the cult of beauty as maturity and wisdom. nine0003

The value of archetypal beauty lies in its elusiveness and versatility. For me, the beauty archetype is an incubator. This incubator initially placed the idea of ​​beauty as the beauty of youth and health, the very vision that stands firmly on our animal nature, genes and the desire to create healthy offspring during reproduction. And in this incubator of the collective unconscious, other forms of beauty appear, forms of a higher level: for example, the beauty of a realized person who has known the prime of his powers. nine0003

It is the archetypal nature of beauty that brings it back to the eye of the beholder.

The most beautiful faces in the world according to plastic surgeons and cosmetologists

Recently, the unspoken rule of “subjective beauty” has begun to be fixed in the fashion world, in other words, beauty has become not stereotyped, but individual. However, with all this, the fashion world still remembers the principle of the “golden section”, that is, the principle of ideal proportions. And it is precisely those faces that correspond to it, and a kind of aesthetic canon. nine0003

Elle magazine gathered the opinions of beauty industry professionals and asked them to name the most perfect faces and explain in detail the essence of the theory of proper beauty using their examples.

Elmira Salzeiler, dermatocosmetologist, Revival Youth Clinic: “Despite the fact that beauty is a category that does not seem to be evaluated by standards, there are still certain sets of rules that every plastic surgeon and cosmetologist takes into account in their work. So, we all strive to fashion an expressive line of cheekbones, large eyes, full lips. Fortunately, today all this can be done with the help of cosmetology. However, the heroines of our review are girls who became stars before the boom in fillers and devices. For the most part, we are talking about natural beauty, which has become a trend and has given rise to a fashion for this type of appearance, which we today consider the standard. We study the most beautiful faces of the main beauties of the 80s and 90-x.

Robin Wright

An oval face with regular features is considered ideal. The distance between the eyes should be equal to the distance from the inner corner of the eye to the outer one – and the same should be the width of the nose. An ideal example is Robin Wright: her face is absolutely proportional. The lips should be full, but the top should be 25% smaller than the bottom. The distance between the corners of the mouth is equal to the distance between the irises of the eyes – like Karen Mulder.

Karen Mulder

The top of the ears should touch an imaginary line drawn along the eyebrows, and the bottom of the earlobes should be in line with the tip of the nose. The distance between the eyes should be 46% of the width of the nose, and the distance from the eyes to the lips should be 36% of the length of the face. Look at Christy Turlington’s face – it’s absolutely perfect in terms of proportions.

Christy Turlington

Incredible but true: the proportions of the faces of such recognized beauties as Gisele Bündchen and Angelina Jolie do not fit the “gold standard”. Angelina has a too big mouth and narrow cheeks for this formula, while Giselle’s eyes are too close, her nose is large, and her chin is not very pronounced. nine0003

Tagaeva Svetlana, chief physician of the Institute of Cosmetology and Plastic Surgery Real Clinic: “Individual disproportion can give a very good result: for example, Angelina Jolie and Gisele Bündchen do not have the most symmetrical faces. Jolie has pronounced lips that are obviously out of the golden ratio, but give an amazing personality trait – and this feature has become a global trend for a decade!
