On their web site, FaceResearch.org, you can test some of the computer tools they have developed including an intriguing application which allows you to create average faces from a number of source images – or even upload your own!

Average and non-average

The photos above show two representatives of the canine species. I argue that the difference between me and the average male human being is greater than that between a Chihuahua and a Bulldog.
