TL;DR: This work combines this large cross-cultural sample with agent-based models to compare eight hypothesized models of human mating markets and finds that this cross-culturally universal pattern of mate choice is most consistent with a Euclidean model of mate preference integration.

TL;DR: The isolation of a sequence-related gene referred to as Six3 is reported, which is one of the most anterior homeobox gene reported to date and supports the idea that mammals and insects share control genes such as eyeless/Pax6 and also possibly other members of the regulatory cascade required for eye morphogenesis.

TL;DR: Using a new 45-country sample (N = 14,399), this work attempted to replicate classic studies and test both the evolutionary and biosocial role perspectives, finding neither pathogen prevalence nor gender equality robustly predicted sex differences or preferences across countries.

TL;DR: Data suggest that, contrary to what is found for the majority of the more complex metazoans, Platyhelminthes contain few homeobox genes belonging to the Antennapedia-type.

TL;DR: This work uses agent-based models to demonstrate that assortative mating causes the evolution of a positive manifold of desirability, d, such that an individual who is desirable as a mate along any one dimension tends to be desirable across all other dimensions.
