  1. I don't think so. I think there are some biological standards for attractiveness, mostly based on their ability to produce offspring, but other measures of physical beauty seem to culturally determined. That might explain why those concepts change so drastically over time and pace. The man might be curious though.


  2. White women shown to tribesmen, such as the Yanomamo, are judged attractive, just as Yannomamo women are judged attractive by white men. Symmetry is an universal, evolved trait, and varies little from culture to culture.

    It is always amusing to see pictures of women in texts of anthropology, which purport to show differing cultural standards of beauty and then look at four or five equally beautiful women.

    This holds along an average distribution of soma types the world over.

  3. im sure they would be very curious...maybe a little scared...but i guess if they liked white women with blond hair..but probably not becase it would be strange for them to see a white person in the 1st place...but then again..it depends on the person
