“…Very little work exists linking face perception with beliefs about others' humanity. What research does exist demonstrates that configural face processinga feature integration process unique to human faces -can trigger humanness in a bottom-up manner (e.g., Hugenberg et al, 2016;Fincher & Tetlock, 2016), as can certain facial features that trigger configural processing (e.g., direct eye gaze, Khalid, Deska, & Hugenberg, 2016;Young, Slepian, Wilson, & Hugenberg, 2014). However, the current work shows that at least one specific facial structure inherent in all faces, facial width-to-height ratio, signals humanity without manipulating configural face processing.…”
