Was just thinking the same thing.

That's exactly what happens...

This Anaface program essentially gives you higher marks of beauty if your features are more in line with European features, and lower marks of beauty the more you deviate from that standard of beauty, and progress towards Afro-centric features.

As sad as it is, you can't deny the fact that, from a sociological standpoint, this program is both amazing and fascinating because it clearly shows that "white-ness" or "white-features" are the standard of beauty in this country. A program that ranks beauty on basis of affinity to European features...marvelous huh...

...

I'm a German/Russian Dude, and I got the nose to wide penalty as well.

yeahhhhh...i'm realizing that the program has a few kinks that need to be worked out after i tested out some very European looking folks...apparently, themajority of 'em have the nose to wide thing going on as well--which is very much not the case from my observation...

the other thing about this program that gets me is......"horizontal symmetry"

everyone's getting marked off for it not because their faces aren't horizontally symmetric, but because the picture and/or their heads are slightly tilted.

stupid.

Here is an article I found about facial symmetry being linked to attractiveness.

[h1]Why Face Symmetry Is Sexy Across Cultures And Species[/h1]
ScienceDaily (May 8, 200 - In humans, faces are an important source of social information. One property of faces that is rapidly noticed is attractiveness. Research has highlighted symmetry and sexual dimorphism (how masculine or feminine a face is) as important variables that determine a face's attractiveness.

But why are these traits attractive?

One idea is that both traits are adverts of genetic quality or some other aspect of quality such as fertility. An alternative view is that preferences for these traits arise through visual experience and therefore not linked to any underlying biological factors. Faces certainly have the potential to be advertisements of mate 'quality' and one way to examine this idea is to look at interrelationships between proposed adverts of quality.

In a study published in the May 7 issue of the journal PLoS ONE, Anthony Little of the University of Stirling and colleagues show that measurements of symmetry and sexual dimorphism from faces are related in humans, both in Europeans and African hunter-gatherers, and in a non-human primate. In all samples, symmetric males had more masculine facial proportions and symmetric females had more feminine facial proportions.

The findings therefore support the claim that sexual dimorphism and symmetry in faces are signals advertising quality by providing evidence that there must be a biological mechanism linking the two traits during development. For example, individuals resistant to disease may be able to grow both symmetric and sexually dimorphic. Such work also suggests that faces may advertise quality across different human populations and even across different primate species.

The researchers are currently collecting data on human perceptions of facial beauty at http://www.alittlelab.com, which also presents more information about their work.

High and low symmetry composite faces for macaques, Hadza, and Europeans. All images are normalised on inter-pupillary distance to control relative image size, have been made perfectly symmetric, and each high/low pair possesses the average colour information of both. Perceptual differences are then dependent on shape differences between high and low symmetry faces that are independent of symmetry. (Credit: Image courtesy of Public Library of Science)
