Research Interest |
- Facial physical attractivenes. My current research interests are to understand evolutionary significance of human physical attractiveness. Current research is directed to (a) identify morphological features on female face which are universally judged to be attractive; (b) specify hormonal and physiological correlates of physical attractiveness to determine whether attractiveness is an honest signal of health and genetic quality.
- Psysical attractiveness via hairdos. Another topic on my current research interest are female hairstyles. My aim to identify the possible links the facial and bodily phenotipic quality between the mate value of the long, heathy hair.
- Prostitution. There's a lot of discours about prostitution (in the law, in the social sciences, etc.) but there's no evolutionary explanations, ultimative couses about the question "how prostitution evolved, and how we retained it" in the long way of human history. My aim to find the evolutionary significance of this special behavior.
