Why some people are good looking - and others are plain ugly

Scientists say they have discovered why some people are good looking while others turn out ugly. And it's all down to genetic mutations which mean the human race can never be perfect

Professor Petrie and colleagues have shown that men with better genes for fighting off disease - and therefore better prospects of passing disease resistance to their offspring - had a number of physical features which women found attractive.

The research involved testing men for genetic diversity and showing photographs of them to women, who allocated scores for attractiveness.

These scores were found to correlate strongly to genetic diversity.
