Is it a theory that- Well, mostly, I don't know whether it's mostly health or mostly emotion. It's certainly emotion, state, and health.

So, you know, the first thing I think people think about with spectral skin signaling is blushes, right? And blanches and flushes. But that's really just the beginning aspect. you know, this barely touches the surface. So you can imagine someone's angry and they can get a red face, which is very different from when somebody blushes and they get a, with embarrassment.

And people actually, if I'm in front of a stage and something happens that's slightly embarrassing, and the audience is over there and I'm looking this way, you actually blush more on the side that's facing the audience. Your body- Oh, is that right? Yeah, this is known. This is a drum and some- Wow. Wow.

So they These are strong arguments that these are signals, not just automatic side effects of some kind of implicit side effect with no purpose.

And it's an honest signal because it's out of your control. So honest signal just in this context is a sort of a technical term of art. So we mean by honest signal that you have no control over it and it wears its meaning on its sleeve in some sense.

That's right. And so, I mean, other predictions that come out of this, by the way, it should be the case that if this is true, then the primates with color vision, as opposed to the primates that didn't have three color vision, the primates with color vision should have more naked spots. They should have bare faces.

And in fact, when you look, the primates with color vision are the ones with naked faces. They often have naked rumps, naked genitalia, because all of these things are signaling. The ones without color vision are furry-faced like your typical bunny rabbit, typical dog. Nakedness and color vision, three-color vision, are opposite sides of the same coin.
