Beautiful parents tend to have girl babies. According to research carried out at the LSE, attractive parents are 26% more likely to have a daughter than a son as their first child because of the differing 'evolutionary strategies' that each sex has adopted to survive. 'Beautiful parents have more daughters than ugly parents, because physical attractiveness is heritable and because daughters benefit from attractiveness more than sons' said Dr Satoshi Kanazawa, who led the research. Plus 'women on average are more attractive than men, because over evolutionary history the slight bias of beautiful parents to have more daughters has accumulated, so that girls have become more and more attractive than boys.' (Sunday Times 30.07.06)
