I believe a study recently showed taller people have higher cancer rates because of a closer proximity to the sun. Taller people are also more of a
target in a combat situation. There isn't really a perfect set of dimensions to the human body; skinnier people would freeze to death in the cold
while fatter people would sweat themselves into a heatstroke in the desert. Socrates argued his big nostrils were to smell better with; because he
didn't seem to believe in the golden ratio mandating mathematical beauty. We're all pretty ugly by a neanderthals standards; and even more so
according to what ever our common ancestor with chimpanzees was; they had more dextrous feet with extra muscles for handling tools; making us all foot
disabled in comparison to them. If the air becomes increasingly more polluted people might eventually evolve different looking breathing organs with
more filters; or if we all wear environmental protection suits because of a non existent EPA; maybe our eyes and skin will change because we are no
longer receiving natural amounts of vitamin D from sunlight. Would you consider someone beautiful even if they lacked several internal organs; so long
as they looked healthy on the outside? If so your opinion of beauty is extremely 2 dimensional and serves little evolutionary purpose in determining a
mates health.
