Pretty Fruit Doesn’t Fall Far From the Pretty Tree — Dave’s Diary

Let's start with this: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and we are all beautiful in our own way. That having been said, I find this fascinating. Scientists say beautiful women are more likely to have baby girls than their homely counterparts!

A recent study of 17,000 women concluded that women who were judged to be less attractive in the looks department were more likely to give birth only to sons. I'm not sure who was doing the judging, or the standard of beauty used or the culture in which it was all conducted, but those are the results. Good looking momma equals daughter in the crib.

Dr. Satoshi Kanazawa, who analyzed the study's data, explains that the findings make sense from an evolutionary standpoint. Since beauty is more of a benefit to women than men, he says, it pays for good-looking women to have female offspring.

What else can we expect? After all she's "mother" nature!
