BTW, those concave "piggy" snub-noses are result of alpinization or baltization (i.e. reduction), they are definitely not real CM traits. UP Europeans had either straight or convex noses:
One of the most distinctive characteristics of most (but not all) of these skulls is that the orbits are very broad and very low. The nasal skeleton is almost always prominent. The nasal root, although deeply overhung by glabella, is still high, and the osseous nasal profile is as a rule straight or convex. The nasal spine is sharp and the lower border well marked. The nose, on the whole, is leptorrhine to mesorrhine.
