Summary: Study of 32 face-similar pairs finds that there is a positive correlation between facial similarity and DNA-similarity. They also find that this correlation holds for educational / socioeconomic achievements and health characteristics as well.
Analysis: This shows that Physiognomy, the formerly lampooned ancient practice, has a DNA-basis as well. "Scientific consensus" can't be trusted.
This also lends credence to people discriminating against other people by looks, and why Hollywood keeps casting some faces as villains. It turns out that our faces have a lot of valuable information.
