Sounds plausible that might play a role, but then we'd see the most facially beautiful women from races which evolved in year-round cold climates, such as the Eskimos. But that is not the case. I think certain races simply value facial female beauty more than do other races, and that one will find this favoritism in genocultural regions where monogamy became the norm early on, and men and women stayed together for many years to raise children. A man has to like what he sees of a woman if he sees her all the time. A test of this hypothesis would be surveys asking men from various countries which female physical attribute they most highly value. Another clue would be surveys of sex positions; hypothetically, face-to-face positions would be less common or less preferred among races that evolved a nonmonagamous sexual market.
