We are now nearing midway in our final year in Pisay, and we expect more in LifeSci. Studying evolution was just the beginning. Now we are able to learn about the human behaviour. From beauty to monogamy, we are to tackle these.
Beauty. Some may think of a face. Others of a body. Whatever they think it is, beauty serves to attract more potential mates. There is an advantage to people who are said to be beautiful. These people may have the “golden ratio”, or 1:1.6, in their bodies. Beauty can be seen even by babies. Beauty serves as a security thought for babies, while it serves as a mate detector by adults. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and we can see it now.
Monogamy is when a species has only one specific mate for a specific period of time. This was our topic for an exhibit. We learned a lot about human behaviour in our topic and in the other topics. Humans, just like other animals, have complex ways to determine a suitable mate. From voice, smell, size, etc., these factors are critical in finding a mate.
What I learned is that life is a tug-of-war between the fit and the unfit. Maybe what we need is beauty to be successful in finding a mate, or a good voice, or a sweet smell. But what we really need is to have a sense to understand others in order to have a successful life.
