[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dead: [QB] [QUOTE]West Africans have the widest noses on the planet. Fact. Record level nasal index scores over 100 are found there. Obvious archaic hominid ancestry is obvious. [/QUOTE]Australian aborigines have the highest mean Nasal Index. Nose width is strongly correlated with tooth size. Aborigines also have the highest mean Dental Index, but West African populations are not far off from them. ultra-leptorrhine <39.9 hyper-leptorrhine 40-54.9 leptorrhine 55-69.9 mesorrhine 70-84.9 platyrrhine 85-99.9 hyper-platyrrhine 100-114.9 ultra-platyrrhine >115 From the studies of living subjects I have seen, aborigines come out hyper-platyrrhine. Most populations from West Africa however do not and fall under 100. Of course though they're still platyrrhine, between 85 - 99.9: [QUOTE]Oladipo et al., (2009) conducted an anthropometric assessment of Nasal parameters of Itsekiris and Urhobos ethnic group of Nigeria with the aim of comparing the nose type among the two ethnic groups. Their results showed that on the average, Urhobos had a mean Nasal index of 89.63 and the Itsekiris had a mean index of 90.74. The nasal index of the Igbos, yorubas and Ijaws were determined by Oladipo et al., (2006). The Igbos had a mean nasal index of 94.1± 0.37, Yorubas 89.2±0.30 and the Ijaws 96.37±1.06.[/QUOTE]Anthropometric study of the nasal index of bekwara ethnic group of cross river state, nigeria International Research Journal of Applied and Basic Sciences. 2013.
