Admixture and traits are not the same. I would not use Admixture to determine someones look. For example then I have to be long faced, blonde and blue eyed, which is not the case. Or I must look like Battle Axe Sweden which I got in one ancestry calculator at gedmatch as highest match, which is far from reality.
My grandfather on mothers side for example was tall, blonde, blue eyed and long skulled. But my grandma was black haired, light brown skinned and blue eyed. My father was black haired ,blue eyed and little more darker skinned. My mother was blue eyed too. But now how I look: Light skinned, brown haired, hazel eyes, brachycephalic.
How can that be that both of my parents had blue eyes but not me? They are my parents, this is proven by genetics. Because of the heterozygosity of some alleles and traits that are recessive, only show up if both alleles for it are present. I am heterozygote for red hair, but nobody in my family has ever had red hair, the trait never got homozygote in the last 4 generations.
And it even gets more complicated: For example two populations of humans can have light skin, but both carry different dark skin causing alleles but they are hidden by the light skin causing ones. If they mate, a child with brown skin can be born, if the child inherits the dark skin causing alleles of both populations.
Your ancestors carried many different traits and nobody can say via admixture, which ones you have inherited, which ones have persisted over many generations, this is not possible by using admixture calculators.
No disrespect Doggerland, but none of the reconstructions have more squared off jaw lines which are ubiquitous in parts of Europe today.
Perhaps the snps haven't yet been discovered?
Ah, FaceMaker has no option for changing zygomatic breadth. In the newer reconstructions like Taim Mummies, Kostenki or Salkhit I used the GIMP Warptransformation tool to create broader cheekbones, if they where indicated. Maybe I should overwork the older ones.
There is an option at faceMaker for making the face more male or female. I decided to give the males and females full gender related features. The males may have over-prominent masculine features. To make this more precise, I would have to search for the SNPs that are influencing testosterone features. But I only know one that is linked to testosterone and facial features and that is the one that I am using to differentiate between a square jaw like in the Irish Neolithic and the “soft” jaw like in Cardial Pottery. The study only says what allele is the one that is causing a more prominent jaw, not how much i should shift the button in faceMaker in the direction.
