    Default Did modern european faces get less robust/narrower

    Do you guys think the general breadth of the jaw and Bizygomatics got narrower in comparison to ancient europeans from early medieval/iron age and bronze age

    I feel like as time went on and food got more softer and more artificially enchanced as well the environment becoming less rough the jaws started drastically shrinking not only that but our skulls have been getting more mesocephalic on average

    Especially in germanic Europe I've noticed a gradual decrease between ancient and modern skulls

    In regards to width of the jaw and the face in general also less skull lenght

    So I definently think phenotypes like that of Brad pitt have gotten to being common to absolutely rare today

    Human jaw shrinkage has been observed by scientists certainly. This corresponds with an overall shrinkage of the facial skeleton. This means on average not only have jaws become smaller across the urbanized/industrialized human population but also the bony orbit and malar area.

    This is why I can't take anthrofora classification seriously unless this is taken into account. Stable regional phenotypes I think do exist, but they can look off simply due to bony deficiencies in the eyes and cheeks. A smaller orbit generally means shallower set eyes, which can dramatically affect your appearance.

    A "Keltic-Nordid" with flat cheeks and deficient jaw could be perceived as part Jewish. But obviously this could just be familial, the result of inbreeding, general jaw shrinkage, or sheer bad luck.

    Because we are used to soft food. I remember being in Poland and buying a cheap steak, it felt like eating tires.

    Lol Pizza seems to be hard to do well outside Italy though some places in the UK can be very good maybe because of Italians here, i was asking you because i have a lot of skleps here in London and the food i have bought is a bit meh though the sausage isn't that bad, just a bit bland but quite meaty.
