Interestingly, the average of not-so-good-looking people is pretty good-looking.

Looking more into details the set of pictures, none is really cute and there is a lot of people with pretty strange, asymmetric faces. They look kind of retouched, no?

Heres what they all look like together:

…cool how it does look perfectly average, you cant say "he has nice X" or "his X is Y", its just a human face.

Here's a persistent image for the average of all faces:

"Average faces are deleted from the temporary gallery after 10 minutes, so please do not link to your creation." (yours is already gone)

Oh yes, didn't scroll down much to see that.

Just highlight each image (all 91) and let it generate. Looks cool... :)

Here's a website where you can make your own facial composites. It only lets you morph two images at a time, but you can morph the output of a morph, thereby combining more than two faces.

Just hover your mouse over a lot of them are random rapidly, and you'll see a pretty nice effect.

interesting but in genetics, nature takes the best AND the worst features

It's even stranger: Genetics does not know about 'goodness'.
