What selection theory did Fisher develop involving attractiveness?
Sexy son hypothesis
Survival of the fittest
Red Queen hypothesis
Green beard effect
Answer
The sexy son hypothesis proposes that female preferences for attractive males stem from the potential benefits derived for their offspring. By selecting mates with superior genetic traits, females enhance the likelihood of producing healthy and attractive sons, who, in turn, will be more successful in attracting mates in the future, passing on the desirable genes to the next generation.
