Gene Expression: multiracial

Gene Expression

I thought the following bit about genetics of half asians was interesting...

Academic speculations as to why there are so many hot multiracial babes are invited. Theories to date:

1. More attractiveness than usual is required for people to cross the race line
2. Multiracial people benefit from hybrid vigor/heterosis (source)
3. They aren't really attractive per se , just exotic looking
4. Averaging of features is attractive in general, and happens more readily with different ancestry parents (source)
5. Averaging of attractive people results in attractive faces, and symmetry is a comparatively weak factor (Dienekes)

this is on a weblog run by opinionated scientists whose primary focus is the relationship between genetics and human nature.
