London, May 19 (ANI): A British psychologist has sparked an international race row with his research claiming that black women are less attractive than others.
The controversial study conducted by Satoshi Kanazawa, a lecturer at the London School of Economics has ranked Black women as lowest and Asian women as highest scorers.
The findings are based on a survey of white, Asian, black and native American men and women who rated each other's attractiveness in photographs.
Kanazawa's explanation to his research is that African women have higher levels of testosterone compared to other races and therefore, have more masculine features.
Citing examples to support his findings, Kanazawal said, 'science' would suggest Naomi Campbell is less attractive than fellow supermodel Elle Macpherson
"The only thing I can think of that might potentially explain the lower average level of physical attractiveness among black women is testosterone," the Daily Mail quoted him as saying.
He further claims, "Africans on average have higher levels of testosterone than other races...women with higher levels of testosterone have more masculine features and are therefore less physically attractive." (ANI)
