These women do no exist.
This is the third of three images on attractiveness. Is there a
universal standard of physical beauty? Is it only culture and fashion?
Good skin and harmonious symmetrical features are indications of past
and current health that should be attractive everywhere. On the other
hand, when I look at portraits from previous centuries, the women in
them do not look particularly “hot”.
Miss Universe contestants owe their delegation to a mix of local and
universal standards of beauty (or at least the pageant’s version of
universal). I created multi-morph composites (see some details how here) for each continent from photos of the delegates.
The Americas composite most closely resembles the one from all
delegates while the Europe composite more closely resembles the one
from the finalists. Bias in the judging or in the standard? Who knows?

There is this theory that Beautiful People are Mean so, the finalists should ressemble most All :)
I am not sure that Europe and Finalist are closer than Europe to All (or to Americas). I think the main difference is in the hair which is not representative in a morph.
Americas is clearly the closer to All, but they are the majority, so this should explain that:
Africa is more distant to All because the ratio is 9/81 whereas Americas is 30/81 and Europe is 28/81.
I think this is why Americas and Europe are closer to All.
So the biases is on the number of participants per "continents" probably.

"Beautiful People are Mean"
LOL! That's because they resent being called average.

the Americas face is lovely but she is not smiling and doesn't look cheerfuL. ^^ I am probably biased, but the Asian face looks the most charming. Not too gorgeous and looks approachable~

huh? No blonde? No blue eyes?
Actually I always prefer asian, but yet...
They all look the same!
Even the black woman looks white! These fake women don't represent well their continent I think.

[Looking at these I was struck by the same thought as mortimer? - that the result would be biased in proportion to the number of participants per continent.]
But I'm writing about the comment, ' . . when I look at portraits from previous centuries, the women in them do not look particularly “hot”.' I think this is may be a valid indication that evolution actually is proceeding surprisingly fast in this respect. I (an old guy in my 60's) have always had the same impression. But more significantly, to my amazement, about 10-15 yrs ago, my late mother (then in her 80's), when we were (if I remember right) looking at a photo of a young friend or relative, suddenly asked, "Don't you think girls are getting prettier than they used to be?"
I'm not at all sure that this phenomenon is a change in cultural tastes so much as a genuine case of our species actively 'selecting' for increased attractiveness in its reproductive activities.
