Discussion Do ugly parents really produce uglier looking offspring?

[Zer0/∞]

Shorter fathers tend to produce taller sons than themselves due to mean reversion.

• Tall fathers will have tall sons, but the height of the sons will be closer to the mean (or average) of the current adult male population. The same holds for short fathers and their short sons who, nevertheless, tend to be more average than their father. (That's the origin of the word regression, first studied by Francis Galton over a hundred years ago. We'll look at "regression lines" below.)

So does that apply to looks?

If that is true, ugly foids have no excuse not to reproduce with us because their offspring wouldn’t be more subhuman.

Children will inherit random aspects of their parents looks, and the random parts of the parents looks could lead to a good looking face when added together, but this is more common in stacy/chad offspring since they will inherit random aspects of Stacie's and chad's looks.

They have a much higher chance of birthing subhuman offspring, yes; while the genetic-recombination pill definitely means unattractive parents can make attractive children, and vice versa, the norm is most likely.
