Which parent is that new baby going to look like?

Whether it’s a boy or a girl - that new baby will probably look more like Dadddy than Mommy at first...

Although the theory has been challenged for decades, many evolutionary experts believe human infants will resemble their fathers a bit more at birth and for the first year of life. This is nature’s way of helping to put any male doubts to rest - since we already know who the mother is. Male humans are more likely to accept, protect and bond with a child who resembles them.

To put the theory to the test, participants were asked to match photos of a newborn baby to photos of their parents. 50% of the time, the match was correct with baby and dad. The match rate was much lower with mother and child.
