Evolutionary forces have been driving women to become more attractive.In a four-decade study, Finnish researchers found that beautiful women have 16 percent more children than their homelier counterparts, and that their offspring are more likely to be girls, effectively flooding the gene pool with attractive female DNA.
This jells with a previous study which found that good-looking couples are 26 percent more likely to have daughters.
And with that, we're officially done supporting creationism.

Are women really getting hotter, or are we just lowering our standards? After all, the obese rates are totally off the charts, and this article comes out. How can that be?
Just sayin'...

Cosmetic surgery is probably playing a larger role than we'd like to think. We should also remember that whether or not someone is "attractive" is completely subjective and relative. In 100 years, if everyone looks like a supermodel, we'll still want to be with the most attractive of the supermodels. Plus, two attractive people can still get together and spit out an ugly kid, and vice versa. You also have to take into account the fact that a beautiful child can grow up and get into meth and/or eat themselves into a size 44 or just be unlucky and suffer a horribly disfiguring accident.
The more I think about it, the more I think this is probably the dumbest research ever done.
I do think that people are aging more slowly(both naturally and not). Take a look at pictures of your parents when they were your age. They probably look 10-20 years older than they actually were, and that was normal.

Um, I don't think 16% "effectively floods" the gene pool.
