Japanese and Caucasians Go For Eurasians

With her blond flowing locks and pale skin, the goddess of love, Venus, is seen as the epitome of beauty, as depicted by generations of artists such as Botticelli. But new research appears to turn this theory on its head. Scientists now believe that people of mixed race, particularly Eurasians, possess certain genetic advantages that lead to greater health and, as a result, increased attractiveness. In the first study of its kind, Caucasians and Japanese people rated Eurasian faces as more attractive than faces of either race. Researchers developed a series of faces, ranging from those with exaggerated Caucasian features to those with exaggerated Japanese features. When Caucasian and Japanese volunteers looked at photographs of Caucasian, Japanese and Eurasian faces, both groups rated the Eurasian faces the most attractive and healthiest. People from other racial backgrounds will, of course, have their own preferred blends.

One researcher said the results proved that "our preferences are shaped by evolution". Humans would have encountered few individuals of mixed race when they first evolved. Only with the West's colonisation of Africa, the Americas and the Far East, as well as the trade links that were then established around the world, did different races mix more readily. Evolutionary psychologists argue that the findings indicate not only individual preferences for physical beauty. They also suggest that Eurasians and other mixed race individuals appear healthier. In the search for a reproductive partner, humans look for markers of good genetic health.

Dr George Fieldman, a leading British psychology expert at Buckinghamshire Chilterns University College, said facial symmetry also played a part: "It is conceivable that mixed races are ironing out asymmetries and differences of the kind that may make you more attractive." The number of mixed race people in Britain grew by 75 per cent during the 1990s. In the 2001 census, roughly 1.5 per cent of the population classed itself as of mixed race. New research by British scientists also suggests that a link may exist between the gene diversity and beauty. Craig Roberts, a biologist at Liverpool University, conducted an experiment into the attractiveness of individuals and compared their "beauty" to the diversity of their major histocompatability complex (MHC) genes. MHC genes have a big impact on the strength of immune systems.

Dr Roberts found that photographs of people with a greater MHC diversity were seen as more attractive than those with less. He concluded that the perceptions of attractiveness are linked to the health of a potential mate. Not only does the research by Gillian Rhodes, a psychologist at the University of Western Australia, raise interesting questions about beauty, it also undermines centuries-old arguments by the far right that a "pure" race is healthier. The idea of racial purity as the highest form of perfection was taken to its extreme by Adolf Hitler, whose warped beliefs led to the death of six million Jews. Dr Fieldman said: "In-breeding is not great news. All that bollocks about blue blood is just nonsense. The Nazis were terrible scientists. At a biological level it was just nonsense."

This view is backed up by Randy Thornhill, an evolutionary psychologist at the University of New Mexico. Genetic diversity can decrease the chances of contracting disease, he said. "If you hybridise two genetically diverse populations - ie cross races - then you create more genetic diversity in the offspring." But while science may be able to prove the attractiveness of mixed-race individuals, relationship experts said cultural barriers still remain when considering mixed race partnerships. Dr Petra Boynton, a lecturer in health services research at University College London, said: "In some ways it is more acceptable now than it was 50 years ago. But this is a lab-based piece of research and, well- meaning and liberal though it is, you only need to look outside the window to see it is not that simple."

MacArthur kept a eurasian girlfriend during the 20's.

They could have chosen a better model than her from Fast & Furious 2 - she is actually not attractive (well in my opinion). I'd like to see how they define Eurasian features though - what parts of European people do they get and what parts of Asian do they get?

It's like when you're a teenager and you take pictures of your ideal women (or men) and cut out eyes, mouth etc etc and make a collage.

[Hokgwai]

I say mix it up....the more the better.

The more people mix, no matter what two, three or four combinations you put togther it makes for a better, healthier and probably better "world-rounded" individual....

[maninjapan]

So you want a afriamerasiaeurooceanian person then?

I think I used to date one of them!

Who wouldn't want one?

Catherine Zeta-Jones, 36, meets the press in Tokyo Monday to promote "The Legend of Zorro." The Welsh actress, on her first visit to Japan, says she's often asked if she is half-Japanese.

There is a vague resemblance to a japanese person

Isn't that Devon Aoki? She's one hot piece of ass!

I dunno, Kamome... There's something about her face that irks me the wrong way.

[cstaylor]

Yeah, I'm with Molokidan. Devon has great lines (thanks to her mother), but she got the short end of the stick above the neck line.

Catherine Zeta-Jones is stunning. I never get tired of her films.

[kamome]

I dunno, Kamome... There's something about her face that irks me the wrong way.

Nah, her face has that sultry, pouting look, which to me has a mysterious quality. Of course, what she looks like in real life and what we see in slick images like that one could be completely different. I didn't know she was in Fast & Furious 2 (probably because I skipped that movie having heard it sucked badly). But I saw her in Sin City and was drooling a little bit. Guess she's not much of an actress, since they gave her no lines at all.

It looks like she's been slapped with a shovel?

Ive always been impressed by the eurasians that Ive met, but i think Devon Aoki is probably not the best example - she has a unique face and that with her nice body (and maybe her dads connections?) made her a model - but i wouldnt say shes especially pretty..

dont you mean psycopath, cannibal or perhaps serial rapist...?

eh you what? you do realise that I meant out of paper? not of real people? You never ever ever did that?

yeah yeah, paper is where the madness all starts: makes for good practice before you move onto real people ya sicko!
dont go anywhere, im emailing the police...

i never got around to doing that; i guess photoshop would be a less labour intensive method these days. While certain features of some people stand out, I think they need compatible features to compliment them (ones that may not be the best individually) so the best eyes, ears, nose and mouth out there might go awful together and what you need is a complete package and your probably only going to get that when its all thrown together naturally. (probably why so many plastic surgery patients end up looking so fucking bizarre)

Ive recently noticed just how hot some Persian and Indian chicks can be.

Don't worry I haven't used any picture of you..............................yet

bet ya all the eurasion mothers are the asians

[maninjapan]

'course they are

bet ya all the eurasion mothers are the asians

Well, the first picture in the thread loses you the bet. Devon Aoki is the daughter of Rocky Aoki and Pamela Hilburger. And here's the Yukawa sisters who appeared in this FG thread:

Nope still neither of them are "attractive" in my opinion - now do a google search for paul rodgers from 'free' and find his daughter now she is fit

No need for google, she made an appearance with her brother in this FG thread.

[maninjapan]

Should we be worried that you knew that?

Don't be silly. How do you think this site is backed up? Everytime FG goes down Ultra justs asks Mulboyne to type it all back in.

Ah that would make sense as to why taro_taporific has squillions of posts then.
