FaceResearch.org has published the results of a recent experiment where experimental psychologists at the University of Glasgow in Scotland have combined the faces of men and women around to world to approximate the “average face” of each country. Using a modern version of the technique that Sir Francis Galton pioneered in the 1800′s, multiple images of faces are aligned and composited together to form the final result.
Some people feel that the average is “too attractive.” Part of this is explained by the process. Instead of having a lot of blurry images with undefined features, this method averages the shape of the features before blending the images together. Also when blending, remember that many singular issues are “averaged away.” The study also does not reveal how the participants were selected or how large the sample size actually is.

Seemed kind of interesting, then I posted and see a quarter of them are chopped off, and the list seems incomplete (where are the Americans? Canadians? Mexicans? etc.
Oh well.
The "average" person appears quite attractive.
I have read somewhere that we feel that people are attractive, who have evenly balanced features, and are in proportion. Maybe that's why everyone looks so attractive to us, in this averaging... But, you're right! The average face is quite attractive!
Interesting concept!
