sexual selection in humans

Sexual selection in humans refers to the evolutionary process where traits that enhance attractiveness or reproductive success become more common over generations. This can influence physical features, behaviors, or qualities that others find appealing or that signal health, strength, or compatibility. For example, preferences for certain body types, facial features, or social attributes are shaped by these selection pressures. Ultimately, sexual selection helps explain why some characteristics, such as attractiveness or charisma, are valued and how they affect mating success and reproduction potential in human populations.
