Phenotype and criminality has been theorised like this for a long time.

Well, the old German taxonomists collected a bunch of facial traits together - which they labeled "primitive traits" - and said they were indications of criminal tendencies(among other things). I don't remember if wide faces was one of those traits.

I actually have a wide face, so do both my parents, none of us have a criminal bone in our bodies. Something is probably skewing it - most likely, the inclusion of wide-faced racial minorities. I notice that, on the list of the widest faces, several Maoris are included...

Makes sense, that one element of heredity could be linked with behavior which may also be hereditary.

That was a different thing, that I tried to compare it with.
That was New-Zealands-most-trusted-people
I am not sure about other countries.

I'm going to to try find the studies, because it doesn't even say how much more likely etc in the articles.

Well, I must be the exception to the rule.

[Agrippa]

Statistically significant tendencies are not the same as a general rule which can be applied to every single variant.

Even if the tendency is there and makes sense, it might be restricted to a specific population with its specific racial and other genetically determined elements, as well as to a specific culture, in which certain people are more likely to act that way.

And of course, there are surely other genetic factors involved, yet this single factor might lead to a recognisable and real, significant tendency - ONE important factor out of others if evaluating indivduals.

Don't be sad Cromagnoids, just kneel before your Atlanto-Nordoid betters and acknowledge our moral and phenotypical superiority.

[Pallantides]

I guess this means Norwegians and Danes are more untrustworthy than Swedes on average because of the larger number of Cro-Magnids and other wide faced anthrotypes.
