Subject: Facial features and personality

  I understand that forty to sixty percent of our personality is 
hereditary.  And I have recently read a study saying that most 
people, when asked to determine the character of a given photograph 
of a person whom they did not know, seemed to think somewhat large or wide 
set eyes said you were intelligent, narrow eyes made you untrustworthy, and 
so on.  And while our first impressions and judgements are certainly not 
always correct, is there a possibility they have some validity?  We speak 
of a snob nose, a stubborn chin, a hero's cleft, jolly dimples, thin, cruel 
lips - it seems we've had the concept of our appearance determining our 
personality for a long time.  Could we be genetically preprogrammed to 
reflect some of our genetic personality traits in our facial features?  And 
are we perhaps born with an instinct to read other people's facial 
features?
