Our Eyebrows, Ourselves
Jena Pincott describes a study from a few years ago:
Volunteers were asked to identify fifty famous faces,
including that of former U.S. president Richard Nixon and actor Winona
Ryder. The photos were digitally altered and shown either without
eyebrows or without eyes. When celebrities lacked eyes, subjects could
recognize them nearly 60 percent of the time. However, when celebrities
lacked eyebrows, subjects recognized them only 46 percent of time. The lesson: eyebrows are crucial to your identity — they’re at least as important as your eyes, if not more so.
