Do Africans and Asians have the same range of facial features as Europeans?

Question

I'm with a lot of Africans and Asians and to me they all look roughly alike. So its not due to lack of exposure.

Answer 1

Two points you should be aware of at your age:

1) Many Asians and Afrcians ARE Caucasians. Egyptians. Libyans and Ethiopians are Africans, but also very clearly Caucasian. Afghanis and Indians are Asians but also very clearly Caucasian.

Try to understand that Caucasian is NOT the same as European. Even in pre-colonial times many Europeans were Mongoloid, and many Asians and Africans were Caucasoid.

2) Negroids and Mongoloids show a far GREATER range of facial features than Caucasians. Think about if for a second, look at the facial features of Nelson Mandela and Chris Rock as two examples of ******* people. Or consider Bruce Lee and Xanana Gusmao as two Mongoloid people. Nothing like that degree of diversity exists amongst Caucasian populations.

Quite simply Caucasians don't show the widest variety except in hair color and eye color, along with skin color, which varies from very light to almost black. When it comes to traits like nose configuration, position of hairline, breadth of skull and so forth Caucasians lose out to the other races.

Answer 2

Africans have the widest range of facial features and skin tones by far. There is also more biological diversity in human populations in Africa than every other race combined.

Answer 3

We all have the same facial features (eyes, nose, mouh) so I think maybe you meant facial EXPRESSIONS.

The answer is yes. In fact, a study done by anthropologists some time ago demonstrated that the most common expressions (e.g. disgust, joy, anger, surprise, interest, boredom, sarcasm, even flirting with the eyes) are universal among all cultures and all races. In other words, superficialities aside, human beings are pretty much the same the world over.

Answer 4

I'd totally have to agree with you on that. I know a lot of Africans and Asians, and it seems that Caucasians have a wider range of facial features in general. I don't know why.

Answer 5

no they're totally not alike! when u see a chinese and someone from nigeria for example.. how u say they're alike? i'm not talking about skin color! just see their eyes and their shape of face! also asia is very big there are many variety in facial features for example japanese and chinese are diffrent although it might not seem clear for some people

Answer 6

yeah, i think they all have eyes, nose, mouth, eyebrows, chin...what else...hhmmmm...

if you really pay attention to those who are not like you, you might actually notice that they are as different from each other than they are to you.

Answer 7

You must get high before you go to work or wherever you go.

Answer 8

Yes - just more subtle.

Answer 9

Your eyes are closed. You need to open them.

Wider.

Wider still.

Keep at it...
