Earth
Newborn infants spend more time looking at attractive faces compared to unattractive ones.
Infact verdict: Mostly True (60/100).
The claim that newborn infants stare longer at attractive faces is supported by a study referenced in Healthline, which indicates that infants spent more time looking at faces deemed attractive by adults. This suggests a possible innate preference, although the evidence is not conclusive due to medium reliability of the sources and the historical nature of the experiment. Therefore, the claim is plausible but not definitively proven.
