Do girls look more like their moms or dads?

It is scientifically proven that genetics cause people to look and behave more like their dads than their moms. In fact, as a woman, you might have frequently been told throughout your life that you look like your father. Well, there is a reason for that. Science shows us why you have your daddy's eyes.

Women no longer have to fear that they will become another version of their mother. As humans, our genetics are not inclined to support that anyway. It is scientifically proven that genetics cause people to look and behave more like their dads than their moms. In fact, as a woman, you might have frequently been told throughout your life that you look like your father. Well, there is a reason for that. Science shows us why you have your daddy’s eyes.

Your dad has more genetic influence

Research has shown that 60% of genes express parent-of-origin effects from the father. It was originally thought that only 95 genes express the parent-of-origin effect. Now it’s known that thousands of your genes express themselves according to what your dad added to the genetic pool. Did you know that you don’t use an equal amount of genes from both parents? As you grow and develop throughout life, genes can be turned on and off. However, genes that come from your mother simply don’t express themselves the way that your father’s do. The genome that makes up all that is you uses more DNA from your father. The dominant genes from your father have a greater impact on the outcome of who you are. You might want to understand your genome better. To do this, have a closer look at your dad. Genes express themselves according to whether they come from your mother or your father. If you received a genetic mutation from one of your parents, it might hide or reveal itself according to where you got the gene from. It’s more likely to think like your mom and look like your dad Pardo-Manuel de Villena, of the University of North Carolina School of Medicine, confirmed that mammals express more genes from the father. The information from the study shows that genetic mutations can show up and is more likely to happen if the mutation is from your father. For example, a “bad mutation” in your genetics is good news for you if it comes from your mother. You’re far less likely to ever express that “bad mutation”. Villena’s research helped determine that in spite of the fact that you receive equal parts DNA from your mom and dad, you use more DNA from your father. However, there is hope for your mother’s genes. The paternal genome contributes more to muscle tissue while the maternal genes mainly contribute to the brain. So while you’re genetically influenced by your father in most ways, you might still think like your mother.

What age are kids not cute?

Adults find children less adorable once they hit kindergarten, according to a new study. When asked to rate how much they liked the faces of children aged from infants to 6 years, a group of 60 adults tended to find younger kids cuter. The cut off point was around 4 and a half, reports Psychology Today.

When asked to rate how much they liked the faces of children aged from infants to 6 years, a group of 60 adults tended to find younger kids cuter. The cut off point was around 4 and a half, reports Psychology Today. The study, by psychologists in China and Canada, found that both men and women rated babies more likeable and attractive than toddlers, though toddlers were rated cuter than preschoolers. According to the researchers, this is a biological response to changes in children’s faces as they grow up. Humans are drawn to the specific features babies have, such as a large head, round face and big eyes. These features bring out our protective side, which biologically makes us want to take care of infants. As they grow older, they lose some of this babyish charm, and we aren’t as strongly drawn to them. “Children’s faces lose some of their universal babyish appeal right around the age that they don’t need it anymore to survive,” read the study. They also linked this age to around the time when our ‘hunter-gatherer foremothers’ would have turned their attention to having a second baby. We’re pretty sure most mums would disagree about their own 4 and a half year olds though!
