Is it me or do Czechs have narrower/longer faces than Poles/Ukrainians?

I am not sure about Slovaks, but apparently Czechia is firmly in Alpine territory. Metrically they must be similar to southern Germans. Bizarrely enough, most Czechs I have met have actually had pretty LONG faces.

Yes, they are more German/Weatern European-shifted.

I honestly thought central Europe was chock-a-block with Alpines and in fairness there are a lot, but I must reiterate, most Hungarians I have met as well have been rather small-headed (but then you have Orban, haha)

I don't want to answer this question, but out oof curiosity, how many Czech people have you seen(except for ones in the videos)?

In person I have met 5 Czech people, hardly impressive I must admit. But this is also from seeing plenty of pics of Czechs as well; all of the Czechs I met were pretty tall, though.

Ok again I sacrifice myself for science
Here is a language meet up and the ethnicities are as following: there are 4 Poles in this picture, one Russian, 3 Slovaks, one Czech, 3 French, 1 Belgian

Enjoy telling us apart. Ps: I am the short girl with the EU flag (actually the others are just pretty tall, I’m 170 cm)

Only one Slovak, one French and one Polish were correct. The first Russian you guessed is actually Belgian btw

Narrower yes, anecdotally I've found that they have much more Norics and generally more Dinaricized individuals than Poland and Ukraine, they are kind of similar to many Austrians in that regards.

Ukrainians have a lot of Mediterranean influenced types and they can have long faces as well but it tend to be broader as well due to more Turanid and Tatar influences. Poles tend to get their broad "round" faces from having more Neo-Danubian, Ladogan and East Baltic influences.
