6 The Biology of Beauty Although symmetry matters for both the body and the face, facial sym- metry is of particular interest to researchers because we spend so much time looking at others’ faces when communicating. Researchers, such as Dr. Ken- dra Schmid from the University of Nebraska Medical Center, used 29 differ- ent measurements to ascertain the level of facial symmetry. After identifying Objective facial attractiveness can be mathematically demonstrated. Stan- dardized measurements illustrate degree of symmetry and facial proportions, which predict attractiveness. Greater symmetry is also correlated with bet- ter physical health and mental stability. (Lisavan/Dreamstime)
