چکیده
The human face has enchanted mankind for a very long time. Psychological studies have shown that even as babies we are drawn to faces and that nine minutes after being born, when we can barely focus our eyes, we prefer to gaze at faces than any other object. Our faces forms an integral part of our lives and each face can be considered as "custom made". All faces have two eyes, a nose, two cheeks, a mouth, two ears and a chin, and yet we all manage to somehow look extraordinary different. Our facial features have evolved in response to the environmental changes of different parts of the world and today each of the myriad faces in the word is an expression of subtle genetic mutations.
