This is the skull of Neanderthal from Near East. Its nose bridge starts very low, below eyes.

Its nasal cavity reminds more of sub saharan African skull cavity.
Modern European with big nose, bridge starts much higher, closer to forehead and is taller.
In this case the near eastern Neanderthal nose looked more like central African nose.
Here goes my hypothesis that the tall nose is inherited from Near Eastern Neanderthals.
PS. I like Morgan Freeman and I'm not suggesting that he is a Neanderthal. He just might have his proxy nose.
Wait, I'm confused...the Neanderthal nose starts below the bridge, you said, and Morgan Freeman's nose is like it and also like a Central African nose. There certainly is no cartilage along the bridge, so how can the "tall" nose be inherited from the Near Eastern Neanderthals? I'll grant you that it may be very old from the Caucasus to Saudi Arabia.
Also, you can have variations with all of this: high rooted, high bridged nose, lower rooted high bridged nose, high rooted long nose (the first Greek goddess statue), very high rooted short broader nose (second goddess statue), high rooted nose with medium bridge, narrow at top and broader base (maybe also the first goddess statue), and then they all come either straight or bumpy or curved.
There are all sort of online drawings of Greek, versus Roman, versus "Armenoid", etc. etc.
Now I, of course, have the perfect nose.:grin: Although neither of my parents had a "Greek" nose, somehow I got one...
it's basically the nose on the goddess with a flower garland on her hair, although it's not quite as long. It's moderately high rooted I guess you could say, absolutely straight, no bumps or curves, no dip down at the bottom. The only thing is, I don't know if their noses were the same width all the way down. My nose is narrow at the top and wider at the base. From the front it sort of looks like this:
I've seen pictures of Carice Van Hooten in profile, though, and she doesn't have that "Greek" thing going on with the root.
