One Study on Modern people != Evolution

Leave it to ABC to assert that studying the reactions of some people equates to truth in evolution.

Though the HuffPost title is even more disgusting, at least it doesn't include some scantily clad model from the chest down

I wonder if these researchers have heard of HISTORY!

Back in the 19th century, pink was considered a masculine color, as a watered down version of red - the color of passion, war, etc, whereas blue was "dainty."

Evolution MY ASS. [note that you need to "log in" to see the pictures, but they're not important, feel free to help me find better sources of this information].

Ok, the paragraph I read says that women like red because it looks like ripe fruit and healthy faces. But that's stupid.

1. If you're a black person, your face isn't exactly red. And the whities came around too recently for evolution to shape behavior in any meaningful way.

2. Red faces aren't always a sign of health. Fever, sores, etc. can make your face red.

3. Fruit doesn't always turn red when it ripens. Oranges don't, for example. And since when has anybody thought that fruit made up a majority of our ancestors' diet anyway? We ate a lot of different things and scavenged a lot.

4. Why don't men like fruit or healthy faces?
