Wikipedia:
“A strong indicator of physical beauty is “averageness“, or “koinophilia“. When images of human faces are averaged together to form a composite image, they become progressively closer to the “ideal” image and are perceived as more attractive. This was first noticed in 1883, when Francis Galton, cousin of Charles Darwin, overlaid photographic composite images of the faces of vegetarians and criminals to see if there was a typical facial appearance for each. When doing this, he noticed that the composite images were more attractive compared to any of the individual images.
Researchers have replicated the result under more controlled conditions and found that the computer generated, mathematical average of a series of faces is rated more favorably than individual faces. Evolutionarily, it makes logical sense that sexual creatures should be attracted to mates who possess predominantly common or average features.”

so cool
it’s kind of lame but the African people are only just set by region while you’re getting each european by country makes you think that there’s only a few distinct types of africans when in fact there is more distinciveness and that much larger continent of Africa then there is in the small region of Europe
I am not arguing with you but this is how the study looks like.
So true. Two faces make up about a couple of billion people. I’m talking about India and China. While there are faces from countries with super small populations like Wales/Welsh. I mean come on even Africa has west and south. I mean really BILLIONS of people in two faces. While some of the faces represent populations smaller than the population of California. Nice consistent study.
That’s totally true (and part of why we haven’t tried to do this yet in a scientific way).
u should superimpose all face to form global average.
Looks like you started in alphabetical order and then gave up. Good job!

Is this average? So a 5/10 in the looks department? But they’re all really objectively beautiful people
I run the Face Research Lab and we had no involvement in this art project (not a scientific study). See https://researchtheheadlines.org/2013/10/04/no-science-behind-the-story/ for the full story.

Puerto Rican here. I have to say, the average face is…well, off. Barely anyone I have seen look like that. The female is a bit accurate for some, but male? Honestly, I have never seen anyone that look like that. Then again, I wouldn’t exactly know what to say is an “average face” in Puerto Rico.
Everyone look pretty different here due to the misgenation, and and the type of misgenation differ between each individual. So you get plenty of different appearance and less of a standard look overall.
