    Default does climate determine facial features?

    people,
    this may have been discussed on here before but indulge me. does climate determine the evolution of facial features? for example it has been argued that people in cold countries have long thin noses so as to breathe sparingly!! that africans haved broad flaring noses so as to facilitate(?) breathing in warmer climes. any truth in this or plain hogwash?

    Surely it explains some differences among races.

    yes:


    sunny climates (wet)




    sandy hot climates (few water)




    windy and snowy climate




    good temperate climate

    thanks kacca nad safinator. does this apply to other aspects such as musculature and bone structure too? complexion is an obvious point.
