World Beauty Standards

I archived this project for now - it was a little expensive to keep live.If you want to ask me about it, or for me to republish it, email me!
[email protected]It used to be a small, interactive map that shows how beauty standards have changed over time and across history.

The goal was to show people that beauty is not a natural, innate quality.How attractive you are is defined by your culture, your class, and more.There are a lot of arguments that what makes you attractive is evolutionarily defined, but there is almost no evidence to support that idea.All the information came from this textbook:
"Beauty around the World: A Cultural Encyclopedia" by Erin Kenny and Elizabeth Gackstetter Nichols
