Testing a postulated case of intersexual selection in humans
A Cross-Cultural Investigation of the Role of Foot Size in Physical Attractiveness
Disparate cultural practices suggest that small foot size may contribute to female attractiveness. Two hypotheses potentially explain such a pattern.

Some of these dolphins are believed capable of transforming into human beings at night and causing harm to humans on land. In general, the beliefs about these animals are isomorphic with understandings about human conduct and express preoccupations o…
