My thoughts exactly. Such noses seem most common in cold and dry highland climates: Andean natives, Dinaric highlanders from the Balkans, Caucasians, Indo-Aryans, etc. all of whom live in mountainous regions and all of whom are notable for their nasal prominence. If we compare Middle Eastern...

This is probably related to the "Atlanto-Mediterranean" component in GEDmatch Dodecad. It seems to have been a WHG subpopulation, as it was present already in Mesolithic Southern European hunter-gatherers. It became more widespread during the Neolithic, because, as people often forget, the...

They look like modern Europeans to me. In fact it would be hard for me to place them in any specific part of Europe. I'm very interested in the subject of phenotype, but it would be really hard to distinguish the phenotypical effects of ANE and CHG because they both entered Europe en masse...

I wrote that the restructuring of the Western nations happened without the consent of the native populations because elites within leftist parties decided to minimize immigration restrictions without any form of public input on the matter. That's why campaigns against immigration are nowadays...

Right, I agree that it's not one or the other. But if I had to pick one over the other as sexually ideal, it would be brawn. I'm sure I'm not the only one who knows people I find very physically attractive, due to the more subconscious instincts we're programmed to have in response to certain...

But when it comes to sexual potential? Clearly those who are physically fit have better mating success and are more likely to produce healthy offspring.

I'm curious about the English. Over a hundred million Americans have English blood–I'm one of them (mixed). London and New York may have a similar number of residents of Anglo-Saxon ethnicity.

Yeah, please don't become like us. We're already on the brink of conflict, as is France. Northwest European elites' decision to restructure the countries completely with millions of immigrants is turning out to be fatally stupid. They thought this would build robust economies. Didn't matter...

I agree with this. Certainly would be hard to imagine narrow-faced steppe invaders. But overall I'm pretty confident the long nose and big orbits came from the east. Look at the Middle East–see how common that is among Iranians and Iraqis, and how rare among Saudis, Yemenis, etc. Then of...

Fuzzy indeed. Thanks for taking the time to explain that to me. I'm fairly certain that the look of big eye sockets, long face, exaggerated nose, etc. has an eastern origin, in both Europe and the Middle East. Definitely from the steppes.

Can someone please clarify "Keltic Nordid"? Like a lot of the racial classifications it seems really variable and inconsistent on Google. What are its characteristics? I understand the Nordic race is characterized by a long skull, long face, long nose, athletic body, and light hair, skin, and...

An actual source of Basal Eurasian ancestry so it doesn't have to be inferred from other things. That being said there is already good phenotypical evidence as to Basal Eurasian ancestry in Arabia.

Probably the best candidate for Basal Eurasians are the "Bedouin B" as they are called in genomics papers; they are a subgroup of Negev Bedouin from southern Israel. Aside from them the Mahra people of Yemen are also a good candidate. In both cases, it is actually easy to distinguish an...

Genetically, the reason is probably the greater levels of Ancient North Eurasian and Caucasus Hunter-Gatherer ancestry, plus the low levels of Uralic/Siberian ancestry associated with Haplogroup N in some regions. I think the back of my head is pretty flat (I have a small head generally, less...

Not sure what you mean here. Are you talking about head shape and body shape independently of one-another? I agree if you're talking about soft-tissue things like obesity that can result from a "too rich" diet, as is common in the US and Polynesia. Lack of physical activity definitely results...

I was for a while "liberal" if anything mainly for economic reasons, but I can no longer tolerate this. Trump is out of office, so most crazy and over-the-top nonsense from the right no longer matters to me. I want public healthcare and higher corporate taxes, but at this point the Democrats are...

To the extent this is true, it's probably due to genetic factors. Non-genetic limits on growth (aka stunting) result in both shorter stature and a weaker bone structure. East Africans and certain other Indian Ocean peoples have naturally very long, narrow bodies. I have not noticed this to be...

I saw mention of the Balkans and Anatolia. Does this have anything to do with the WHG-like admixture found in West Asia? Earlier papers referenced "UHG" (Unknown Hunter-Gatherers) quite frequently.
