My summary: all near aspects tend to bring other near aspects to mind, and all far aspects tend to bring other far aspects to mind.  The aspects:

Turney then makes two simple observations.  First, every human pupil is dark brown, regardless of the color of the iris, which encloses the pupil and determines the color of the eye.  Second, blue is the lightest color of human iris.  The consequence of these two observations is that the size of the pupil is easiest to determine in blue eyes.  If you face people with different eye colors and must determine whether each person likes or is interested in you, with all else equal, it is easiest to read the blue-eyed person’s level of interest or attraction.

Turney’s argument, which I believe might be true, is that blue-eyed people are considered attractive as potential mates because it is easiest to determined whether they are interested in us or not.  It is easier to “read the minds” of people with blue eyes than of those with eyes of any other color, at least when it comes to interest or attraction.

Incidentally, this also suggests that the stereotype that blondes are dumb may have some statistical basis and is true (as virtually all stereotypes are true, as I explain in a previous series of posts:  I, II, III, IV, and V).  Why do people believe that blondes are dumb?  Recall that the human brain, including the stereotypes that it generates, is adapted to the ancestral environment (as the Savanna Principle suggests).  What would be the average age of light blondes in the ancestral environment (say, northern Europe 10,000 years ago) in the absence of hair dye?  Roughly 15.  What would be the average age of brunettes in the same environment?  Roughly 35.  A 15-year-old woman is bound to be more naïve and less experienced, mature, and wise (in other words, “dumb”) than a 35-year-old woman, no matter what her hair color.  It’s not that blonde women are dumber than brunette women; it’s that younger women are “dumber” (less knowledgeable, experienced and mature) than older women, and blonde hair is a reliable indicator of extreme youth.

The same logic is probably behind the stereotype that women with large breasts are dumb.  In the ancestral environment, without plastic surgery or even bras, only very young women had large, firm breasts.

Fascinating.

As the Savanna Principle (“the human brain has difficulty comprehending and dealing with entities and situations that did not exist in the ancestral environment”) suggests, men’s brains cannot really comprehend silicone breasts or blonde hair dye, because these things did not exist in the ancestral environment 10,000 years ago.  Men can cognitively and consciously understand that many blonde women with firm large breasts are not actually 15 years old, but they still find them attractive because their evolved psychological mechanisms are fooled by the modern inventions that did not exist in the ancestral environment.
