Thornhill R, Gangestad S
Hum Nat . 2013 Nov; 4(3):237-69. PMID: 24214366
It is hypothesized that human faces judged to be attractive by people possess two features-averageness and symmetry-that promoted adaptive mate selection in human evolutionary history by way of production of...

Hum Nat . 2013 Nov; 4(3):205-35. PMID: 24214365
Sexual selection processes have received much attention in recent years, attention reflected in interest in human mate preferences. Among these mate preferences are preferences for physical attractiveness. Preferences in and...

Gangestad S, Simpson J
J Pers . 2013 Jun; 58(1):69-96. PMID: 23750376
Considerable progress has been made in behavioral genetics toward providing theoretical accounts of individual differences. One theoretical ask, however, has been largely neglected—that of constructing evolutionary accounts of behaviorally relevant...

Thornhill R, Gangestad S
Trends Ecol Evol . 2011 Jan; 11(2):98-102. PMID: 21237770
The study of human sexuality from the darwinian perspective is in an explosive phase. Recent research is diverse; for instance, the dynamics of heterosexual relationships, the role of honest advertisement...

Gangestad S, Yeo R
Trends Cogn Sci . 2011 Jan; 1(3):103-8. PMID: 21223873
Evolutionary psychology seeks to understand the adaptive, evolved nature of humans by considering the forces of natural selection that gave rise to it. Individual humans also exhibit maladaptation, however, and...

Gangestad S, Cousins A
Annu Rev Sex Res . 2003 Apr; 12:145-85. PMID: 12666740
This paper has two aims: first, to review work addressing the functional significance of variation in sexuality across the women's menstrual cycle and its implications for an understanding of human...

Gangestad S
Nebr Symp Motiv . 2002 Jan; 47:37-74. PMID: 11759349
I have discussed an ongoing program of research designed to examine the nature of specific sexual selection pressures that have played a role in the evolution of human mating. I...

Gangestad S, Bennett K, Thornhill R
Proc Biol Sci . 2001 Aug; 268(1477):1677-84. PMID: 11506680
A single trait's fluctuating asymmetry (FA) is expected to be a poor measure of developmental instability. Hence, studies that examine associations between FA and outcomes expected to covary with developmental...

Gangestad S, Simpson J
Behav Brain Sci . 2001 Apr; 23(4):573-87; discussion 587-644. PMID: 11301543
During human evolutionary history, there were "trade-offs" between expending time and energy on child-rearing and mating, so both men and women evolved conditional mating strategies guided by cues signaling the...

Jung R, Yeo R, Gangestad S
Neuropsychiatry Neuropsychol Behav Neurol . 2000 Jul; 13(3):195-8. PMID: 10910091
Objective: To determine the mediating effects of developmental instability on individual differences in response to caffeine. Background: Individual variation of drug effects might reflect broad genomic factors as well as...
