The title aroused my curiosity, as it is widely established that children (which includes daughters) more closely resemble their father. The proposed mechanism to perpetuate by producing attractive daughters does not therefore require two beautiful people, only an attractive father.
(Which rather reminds me of Winston Churchill's retort to the actress, "Yes, but what if our children had my looks and your brains?")
And stuck? A mere 100 years of mobility and dissolving ethnic boundaries is turning some recessive characteristics into endangered species. For instance, the 20th century saw a dramatic reduction in the proportion of blonds.
Evolution is not intelligent design; it is actually dumber than Darwinism and the Cosmic Watchmaker is a vain projection. Evolution is simply that which survives and no amount of anthropomorphizing an agenda will make it stick. Survival of the Fittest is entirely misleading when it is really Survival of the Survivors.
Makes me wonder if Kanazawa has had his Fusiform Gyrus measured...
