The female hourglass figure obviously reflects sexual selection. However, sexual selection acts on male-female differences to start with. Therefore, what prompted shape differences in the first place? Boguslaw Pawlowski and Marzena Grabarczyk have written a paper on this, and it is addressed here.

Lauren, a fan of this site, sent me the following article to let me know that that I am not the only person to have made some of the core arguments presented here. Although it dates to 2002, it is worth reproducing here. I have bolded some parts that point out some of the key issues mentioned within this site, and have added a few comments (in italics).

Achim Schützwohl reported the results of a study that exposed men to line drawings of women, in pairs, with front-view waist-to-hip ratios of either 0.5, 0.7 or 0.9, varied by altering waist size. Each pair of images was shown for a duration of 1.25 seconds, and the male participants were asked to judge the figures for attractiveness, fecundity, health and pregnancy status. A shortcoming of the study was using the crude line drawings originally used by Devendra Singh, previously discussed in an entry addressing various confounds related to waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) and attractiveness in women. Another shortcoming was not using more subtle variation of WHR.
