True Left

"Youthful looking (neoteny) =/= Aryan looking (gracility)."

I think there is some confusion here. Recall:

https://trueleft.createaforum.com/human-evolution/sexual-dimorphism-preferences/msg18568/#msg18568

Gracility and neoteny are not the same thing, as there exist people who are already robust as children (e.g. https://trueleft.createaforum.com/human-evolution/sexual-dimorphism-preferences/msg17900/#msg17900 ). When we associate gracility with neoteny, we are talking about those who were not robust as children who also manage to avoid gaining robustness during puberty being more neotenous than (and hence superior to) those who were not robust as children but who gain robustness during puberty.

All gracile adults used to be gracile children. In other words, all gracile adults are neotenous.

On the other hand, some robust adults used to be gracile children, while other robust adults used to be robust children (albeit less robust than the adults they eventually became). Neither are neotenous.

Teixeira reminds me of Shapiro who was previously discussed here:

Note Teixeira's deep eye sockets. That is not neotenous.
