da, I thought it was the exact opposite... that to ensure a healthier offspring, we're hardwired to be attracted to people as opposite to ourselves as possible. Which is part of the reason why we're so naturally disgusted by incest (most of us; kinks don't count, since lots of kinks are built on the principle of "wrongness"). They've done studies where people with similar chemistry will smell bad to you whereas people with very different chemistry will smell really GOOD.

I always thought that that was why mixed race people were usually considered the most attractive people.

Incest aversion is more that if you've spent a substantial amount of your childhood with a person, you develop a resistance to seeing them in a sexual light. It's even got an official name - the Westermark Effect.

Being attracted to someone of the same basic type... well they are still different person to those you grew up with in your family, and you haven't got the Westermark effect about them, but they are just alike enough to hit some similar=attractive reaction.

But it is by no means an absolute rule either, and people can think differing looks are attractive as well.
