Study: Faces change to fit their name?

[name_f]An[/name_f] interesting article I just came across about a study from which researchers have interpreted its results to mean that faces morph over time to fit a name’s stereotype. Sounds interesting, and I have questions about it for sure! Thoughts?

Definitely a very interesting concept! Thanks for sharing!
Lots of questions though… especially since I’ve seen people before and thought “they don’t look like a _____”. What if someone changes their name, would their faces evolve to match?

I agree! Definitely so many questions. It seems like a big conclusion to make from the data they have, so I don’t know. If I were a researcher on that team, I would conclude that people must grow into looking like their name, but not that their faces morph.
