However, remember choice for a mate in this instance is based on information received from medical research, not by instinct. Thus if we look at the effect of biology on culture as a result of medical research in this particular instance, then this is a valid point.

Yes biology is one factor that can have an influence on a particular culture since culture is a means by which a society uses to adapt to a particular environment. Yes, obesity and extreme skininess are indeed associated with being unhealthy. Yes people may not want to select a mate with these 2 extreme conditions because they can die at an early age if they don't take action to control them and may pass on the relevant genes to offspring.

Such situations, believe it or not, have worked (and still do) very well. Conidering that the 2 of you and myself aren't from cultures that commonly do this sort of thing, we may cringe about it. However, it is still practised widely and of course has nothing to do with "instinct" and "genetics."
truthseeker1971 3 years ago
(cont'd)for instance. Also, this sort of thing took place in certain cultures more often at certain periods during history than in some. Physical attractiveness (by standards dictated by that particular culture say)is /was more of a "perk" in such arrangements. It hadn't much to do if the 2 people to be married loved each other or were physically attracted to each other. These matters are supeseded by the economic statuses of the families.

Very good analysis this time. Congratulations.
Now culture doesn't nullify the miniscule role that biology plays in human mate selection. I believe they work together. By doing this, the mate selection process is manifested in humans.
Of course, I'm making a generalised statement here. We also have to take into consideration that in some cultures mate selection is done by families who want to bring the wealth of both families together. Of course, you would have heard of arranged marriages
