Relationships Between Facial Expressions and Facial Shape
The relationship between facial expressions and facial shape is surprisingly understudied. We use facial videos and photographs, along with others’ judgements, to investigate the interplay among facial morphology, dynamics, and perception. Facial expressions were quantified through Action Units (AUs) using the Facial Action Coding System. Facial shape was analysed using geometric morphometrics. Analysis of the relationships between 14 AUs and 13 …
Sexual Dimorphism in Facial and Body Shape and Their Relationship in Modern Humans of African, Asian, and European Descent
OBJECTIVES: Our study aimed to quantify the degrees of sexual dimorphism in facial shape and nineteen body parameters across eleven living populations from three major world regions: Sub-Saharan Africa (five populations), Europe (three populations), and Asia (three populations). METHODS: The data were collected in Tanzania and Russian Federation (N = 2214 individuals, aged 16-35 years), utilizing identical methods. Facial shape was explored throu…
The Other-Race Effect in Physical Strength Recognition from the Face
This study is the first to investigate the “other-race effect” in the context of perceiving physical strength from morphological markers of the male face, using cross-populational data from individuals of Mongoloid and Caucasoid ancestry. The study sample comprised 1206 participants of Russian and Tuvan ethnicity who rated standardized facial morphs constructed using geometric morphometrics to represent low and high physical strength. Statistical…
Modern views on the evolution of emotional expressions and the role of anatomical facial structures in this process
Introduction. The study of emotional facial expressions is currently gaining momentum, attracting researchers from diverse scientific disciplines. We suppose that this surge in interest can be attributed, in part, to the rapid advancement of digital technologies, particularly artificial neural networks, which are increasingly capable of recognizing and encoding facial expressions. The power of these technologies to analyze faces and emotional sta…
Facial shapes in Frankfurt Horizontal and natural head positions
Head positioning introduces systematic bias into facial shape analysis and perception. Failure to control for this factor may compromise study comparability and distort meta-analytic findings
Indicators of morphofunctional adaptation of modern youth from three regions of the world
Introduction. The problem of human adaptation to modern realities, including living in cities, changing the traditional diet, and significantly reducing physical stress on the body in everyday life is becoming increasingly relevant all over the world. In this vein, experts from various fields of science pay attention to the study of general secular trends and a more detailed analysis of individual components of this phenomenon, including body com…
Facial Shape in the Frankfurt Horizontal and Natural Head Position
Introduction. In this article, we have compared frontal facial shapes (based on photo portraits) which were captured in two head positions: Natural position (NP) and Frankfurt horizontal (FH). Materials and methods. In both cases facial shape was analyzed on sex differences and association with direct measurements of body parameters: height, BMI, fat, muscle and bone mass, digit ratio (R2D:4D). The analysis was performed using geometric morphomet…
Male Cooperation is Culture-Specific
The aim of our experimental study was to investigate population differences in sex-specific cooperative tendencies between modern Russians (N = 192) and Buryats (N = 208). Cooperative predispositions were tested independently within each population, under conditions of same-sex dyadic (Prisoner's Dilemma) and group (iterated Public Goods Game) interactions between subjects who were strangers to each other. The experiments involved face-to-face in…
Preferences for Male and Female Body Parameters and Characteristics of Sexual Dimorphism in Russians and Buryats
The aim of the present study was to investigate sexual dimorphism of body parameters in modern Russians and Buryats, and to assess its association with preferences for male and female body traits in these populations. Sex and population differences in height, muscle and bone mass, fat deposition and hand grip strength were assessed using direct measurements in Buryats (N = 182, Ulan-Ude city, Buryatia) and Russians (N = 181, Tula city) (age: 17-2…
Cross-Cultural Differences in Perception of Facial Trustworthiness Based on Geometric Morphometric Morphs
We report on an experimental study that explores cross-cultural differences in perception of trustworthiness based on facial traits. In the first part of the experiment, individual male and female neutral photographs of Buryats (Mongolian people of Eastern Siberia) were rated on trustworthiness by men and women from the same population. The trustworthy-looking facial traits were investigated by means of geometric morphometrics, and analysis of th…
Men who practice risky hobbies are more physically masculine
The aim of the study was to investigate specific morphological and psychological characteristics of representatives of leisure communities focused on taking high risks, compared to the control group of men. We studied facial and body anthropometric parameters - presumable markers of prenatal androgenization and masculinization - as well as the tendency to search for sensations and aggression in race car drivers (n=36), alpinists (n=52) and studen…
Facial cues to physical strength are not always associated with facial masculinity
Our findings clearly demonstrate that physical strength is associated with the shape of the lower part of male faces even in populations with a mismatched direction of lower face sexual dimorphism
Leaders-Cheaters in Male Group Cooperation
Here we report on the results of an experimental study investigating “who?” emerges as a leader in the context of male group cooperation and “how?” they do that. The study was designed based on the iterated Public Goods Game, played face-to-face in groups composed of four male strangers. The game involved interactions both with and without communication to allow the assessment of individual cooperative strategies, leadership potential, and indivi…
Facial and body sexual dimorphism are not interconnected in the Maasai
Background In this paper, we investigate facial sexual dimorphism and its' association with body dimorphism in Maasai, the traditional seminomadic population of Tanzania. We discuss findings on other human populations and possible factors affecting the developmental processes in Maasai. Methods Full-face anthropological photographs were obtained from 305 Maasai (185 men, 120 women) aged 17-90 years. Facial shape was assessed combining geometric m…
Sexual dimorphism in facial shape of modern Buryats of Southern Siberia
OBJECTIVES: The aim of the present study was to investigate sexual dimorphism in the full facial shape of modern Buryats-people of Southern Siberia of Mongolian origin. METHODS: For this purpose, we have used geometric morphometrics based on standardized full-face frontal photographs. This allowed us to assess and visualize differences in facial shapes between Buryat men (n = 98) and women (n = 89). To specify the facial areas, where the differen…
Number of Siblings, Birth Order and Their Impacts on Individual Cooperativeness in Adulthood
Cooperative behavior and aggression in young men
D
According to modern views on human bio-sociality, Big Five personality traits have been shaped in the process of human evolution and their expression is an outcome of the complex interaction of prenatal predispositions and cultural environment. Present study investigates the impact of prenatal androgenization and cultural norms on the personality traits in adult men from four ethnic groups living on the territory of Russian Federation. The study …
