allright. so i was doing some anotomy excersizes, n what i ussually do is draw a skeleton then draw the muscules over the skeleton using a medical book as help then draw the features and i found this picture with 3 skulls and each skull with a different ethnicity so i took what i knew about facial muscules and sketched em onto the skulls then drew the skin over it and im wondering if you can tell what ethnicity is which. i can tell obviously cuase i read the details,but i was just wondering how apperant it is. so anyways here's the pic:



which is which?

Well it's rather subjective in a lot of ways because there aren't many of the so called "racial" differences that are really that universally apparent at the bone level... Not in the amounts that they are in the soft tissue that covers all the bone.

Like with "Asian" people, the characteristic features are more fat in the eyelid so they don't have that second fold like People from elsewhere- also the smaller nose, shallow nose bridge, thicker and smaller lips, and smaller ears. All that is soft tissue and cartalige. And not true for all "Asian" people.

Similarly with the other types. SO, it's an interesting activity accademicaly, but I don't thing you could learn too much from it except for some older fashioned medical prejudice.

^_^

Out of the faces present the main difference is the jaw and to a lessor extent the forehead. So going by old stereotypes I'd say the first one was African, then Asian, then European.

No criticism on you Pit Face! It's just an older medical convention.

I'm sorry. All I can think is that the 1st looks like Doctor Manhattan and the others, especially the last one, have eaten a very sour sweety.
