physiognomy is the belief that a person's facial features can reveal their personality or intelligence
FEMALE AND MALE: it's ingrained into us to associate a trait from f to m
these phenotypes are a direct result of hormonal polarization, estrogen vs testosterone affecting fWHR, chin prominence and brow ridge
ETHNICALLY (NO DISSING): shape of skull and traits adapt to what climates demand from it
theres more, such as individual path and age
your face is directly evident from your genetics (waterik), EDAR to chin and hair, PAX3 for the nose, and MSX1 for the jaw
(masculine speaking): testosterone as a hormone is created in demand from DNA which influences not only face but traits,
there is a statistic link from testosterone levels to common behavioral traits like strategy, confidence and risk-taking
the brain does influence the face, "Facial asymmetry can be a marker of lateral imbalance in hemispheric brain function, while chronic micro-expressions (e.g., tension in the glabella and forehead) form an “anxiety mask,” reflecting long-term psychophysiological states." from hacker161779
emotion influences facial muscles so if your often sad, thats going to be interpreted on your face realistically as a melancholic person
how do we measure this mathematically? (we defintely can if we don't think of facial features in sections)
HERE ARE THE BIG MEASURES TO, MEASURE!
- symmetry indices, (subtraction of symmetry in y-axis, symmetry would be 0)
- 3D coordinates (xyz)
- golden ratio coefficients
- disproportions
(im going to skip over how exactly traits are calculated because nb cares)
There exists a periodic table of traits (PTHP), like Mendeleevs's: each cells not only a trait but by correlation cognitive and behavioral add-ons
- why's this importan?
- correlations between morphology and culture
- evolutionary trajectories
- identifies risk warning from mental disorders
- (controversial) human cartography
FOR FEMALE AND MALE, IM GONNA CITE A SCIENTIFIC ARTICLE FROM SCIENCECIRECT
"Horizontal and vertical facial measurements are statistically independent. Discriminant analysis shows that five of such normalized distances explain over 95% of the gender differences of “training” samples and predict the gender of 90% novel test faces exhibiting various facial expressions. The robustness of the method and its results are assessed. It is argued that these distances (termed fiducial) are compatible with those found experimentally by psychophysical and neurophysiological studies. In consequence, partial explanations for the effects observed in these experiments can be found in the intrinsic statistical nature of the facial stimuli used."
that was the abstract to assert how people treat genders cuz simply what they infer from face, tldr
in the study they found out that out of the people asked after encounters w each sex, women were mostla seen helpful and approach as so Even though MEN AND WOMEN WERE ACTING THE SAME! all face
focusing on women now
the differences between each face is the philtrum, eyebrows and inner eye practivally
WHY?: philtrum shaped by frowning, eyebrow associated w expressions, inner eye influenced by eyebrow
the expressions the make influence the emotion people thought og them @nobodyreall
