Scientists Say Evolution Causing Women To Become Increasingly Beautiful (VIDEO)

Chicago's local Fox affiliate aired a startling report about scientists claiming that evolution is causing women to become more beautiful.

Apparently, researchers found that beautiful women are reproducing at a higher rate and that they have a higher proportion of girls to boys.

Men, however, are staying the same, according to the researchers.

I usually take a fox report with a grain of salt but I think this sounds viable. Women of reproductive age don't really take the looks of men into account when choosing a mate. Women see money and success as attractive features while men are first and foremost attracted to beauty. And if it true that attractive females produce more females then this does sound plausible.....Yes?

They forgot to include the many conservative ladies in my little neck of the woods here in rural Indiana. When I see them with children, I can't imagine how a guy could, ya know.... ICK!! Bad visual!

breast implants is not a part of evolution and liberal women are not ugly as alluded to by a previous poster in fact some of the uggliest women are the women of the GOP why because culturally they do not have the inclusion of all the beauties from all other races.

The FOX strategy is so completely transparent. And they execute flawlessly on it. What makes makes it so enduring?
1) they throw "meat to the dogs"
2) the rest of us tune in to watch and get pissed off

HuffPost readers, you should know better than to be surprised or upset at this. Now...please excuse me while I go and puinch the walls for a bit...

let me get this straight, when scientists claim evidence of global warming, they are scoffed at by Faux News. When different "scientists" claim a theory which lets Faux put up pictures of scantily clad women, letting their sexually repressed conservative wingnut viewers have an ogle without having to reconcile it with their religious fanatic side, then it's perfectly legitimate science! Whatever, Faux Snooze!!

These researchers must not have stepped foot into my state (Wisconsin), particularly the northern half. Trust me, there is plenty of "evidence" up here to disprove that theory!!

If nature makes women more beautiful - why is it the indutry of implants, Botox, pharmaceuticals that "make you beautiful", and all that junk is not only thiving but in such high demand?

No, it is not beauty nature creates that we see on any billboard, ad, movie, or show.

And one thing more: what exactly IS beauty? - Because every single one of our close to 7 billion population has another idea of what beauty is and means. Before anyone can make such a startling discovery, the defenition of what he is looking for has to be found.

And isn't it odd that those definitions coincidentally coincide with the findings? ;o)

A british pair of "scientists" have found that coloured people are less intelligent than whites and women are less intelliogent than men. - Anyone of us could have done it. All You need is the right definition. define intelligence as knowledge and undereducate blacks and "abra cadabra" they are less intelligent.

But the easiest way of getting the desired results is defining the result as something you want to find. Define beauty as rockhard abs and breasts and chirurgeons the world over become makers of it. - I however ..... :o)

Did the scientist use this wording or the Faux News outfit? This statement is idiotic! Its like saying what the members of a society find alluring is what the society's members find alluring. I would have hoped that in the 21st century people had invested that small amount of time in themselves that it takes to not be ignorant! Apparently, they have not OR the people who wrote the story fall into the categoryof stupid and thus can not be held responsible for the fact that their condition is not curable!

It has always been obvious thatl selection is at work in the world. This is why we have many breeds of dogs, cats, cattle, and pigs. Some of this is natural and some is driven by man. Why would it be news that people, who breed dogs for certain traits that please then, not select mates whose traits please them?

Its like saying the sun rises at dawn and sets at dusk! It must be one of those "self evident" truths like "All Men Are Created Equal"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Wow!

Don't bother with grad school, folks. Just tune in to FOX Science Update, or our Excuse #247 for showing you pictures of scantily clad women.

What a joke of a network.

Even though Fox has mutilated the story, it is in fact based on a longitudinal study by Markus Jokela
