I've noticed that Northeast/Altaic/Mongols exhibit large jaws with prominent chins probably due to eating rough meats. Is this correct?

Pure Mongolians:



NEA:




I think the Jawline/chin is one of the defining features of Northeast Asians. Southeast Asians tend to have rather "weak" chins/jawlines. Why are all these NEA's ashamed of their prominent jaws? This is something to be proud of.

a square jaw is one thing that will completely ruin a face.

you can let a big beak of a nose slide, but not something like that.

I take it you're not NEA.

strong jawline is considered a manly trait. thus women do not want it.

sung kang is an example that most ppl would know. he is hte korean guy from fast and furious. he has a prominent jawline and he is often playing the "bad guy" or "manly character" i think he played the bad guy in one of the earlier mortal kombat movies.... and in a documentary he also mentioned playing a lot of the "bad @$$" roles in movies.

Men don't want it either:



I don't know why they'd do that. They should be proud of their prominent jaws.

I saw a documentary on NOVA about early man and they mentioned people from the arctic regions in asia had strong jaw bone structure that was developed for chewing on raw meat, the early hunters survived on lots of foods like the Inuit people that lived in those conditions

the scientists studied the bones of early man found in arctic regions and noticed early peoples had a strong jaw

if you look at the northerner: European/caucasian and east asian (some chinese, japanese, korean) they all have the same charateristic, which is their mouth tend to become smaller (which make the female extremely cute or attractive)....this is the opposite of southerner (african and southeast asian) which their mouth tend to become wider thus their face tend to flatter

northerner, their front side of the mouth tend to become smaller
southerner (african, southeas asian) their front side of the mouth tend to become wider, thus this make their face actually tend to become flatter

you can look a the picture here




if you look at the west,
the most northerners characteristic: slimmer face, smaller mouth, slimmer nose n white skin
the most southerners characteristic: wider face, wider mouth, wider nose, black skin

they are like the exact opposite of each other

now on the east side of the earth (asian), since theres probably constant intermix between the northerner n the southerner, the difference between the two becoming blur

the east asian: wider face, small mouth, its like the blend of the two side, so you can say mongoloid is the mixture of northerner n southerner, caucasoid mixed with negroid

I wonder why the northerner tend to have shrinking faster upper jaw
while southerner shringking lower jaw.....this single gen that turn you caucasoid or negroid

since the northerner tend to have shorter jaw than the southerner and each generation, human jaw will be reduced or shrinking the characteristic can switch

and since the secret of human look is inside of its mouth we can predict what human look like in the future :



small mouth and reduced jaw make the eye almond shaped, weird could be alien human from future?

asian with the smallest mouth is korean:



it is no wonder they have the most attractive number of people among asian

^What are you talking about?

Northern Europeans have HUGE jaws and HUGE mouths.

Malin Akerman (swedish):
<--- The width of her mouth is like 4x her nose

aching: I don't know why you wrote all that useless crap. What are you trying to prove? That NEAs are closer to White people?



This is true. Vegetation was harder to come by in the cold north so meat was the main source of nutrition. The people with biggest jaws ate the most food so they were more likely to survive ad pass their jaw genes on. Whereas in the warm south, there was no such natural selection for larger jaws except perhaps male sexual selection.

square faces = aliens

No, square faces = block heads

Aliens = heart shaped face

Large jaws make you look manly.

this thread is based on stereotype and have very little evidence for the trivial claims made.
