[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: Feature wise, there is no such thing as a feature type that originated in the caucasus, as people with extremely narrow gracile facial structures developed in Africa and South Asia prior to the population of the Caucasus mountains. [/QB][/QUOTE]Explorer argues otherwise: [QUOTE]Originally posted by The Explorer: [qb] [IMG]http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kB_zjsgf3Nk/THHsrF3Vd3I/AAAAAAAADqA/TLjF-iqzGUA/s1600/12-sides.jpg[/IMG] (photo 2, below) Of course there is such a thing as features that are not African, granted that African diversity encompasses much of that found outside of the continent. The Pinocchio-like tip of the nose that is frequently found in northern west Eurasians is generally rare, if not absent, in autochthonous African populations. The level of loss of epidermal pigmentation in northern Europe is essentially not African, [i]as a natural selection[/i] feature as opposed to a genetic mishap. Likewise, certain hair textures found in Europe are rare to absent in Africa. The orbital ridges that are prominent in Australian populations, once a frequent trait in Africa, is no longer prominent on the continent. These are merely a few examples that immediately pop into mind. Visual aids... A common example of this is the nose job done on the facial reconstruction of Tut: [URL=http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2005/05/photogalleries/tut_mummy/images/primary/tut6.jpg]Tut - facial reconstruction; side profile[/URL] It appears that there was an attempt to "Europeanize" Tut's nose, but it came out in a peculiar way instead. Tut's contemporaneous sculptures don't feature such nose tips on his busts. A few photos of living persons...

The female's nose is by no means flat, but next to the male's, the tip of her nose points out relatively lesser than the "white" male counterpart. Note the differences in nostrils too. The male's is longer and the opening of the nostrils are relatively narrower than that of the female, while the latter's nostril [its outlines] appear relatively more flared or emphasized. So by "Pinocchio"-like nose tip, I'm referring to these type of side-profile outward projections of the nose, and the relatively "sharper" or "pointier" tip (often slanting downwards), usually in accompaniment by narrower (in tandem with understated nostril lines) long nostril openings, which appear as though someone is pressing on the nostrils. Ps: Observe the tips of the nose and the nostrils...
