Scandinavians, as well, have it due to their Asian ancestry.

My niece has some weird stuff going with her eyes and nose, had it since she was a baby, but i always assumed they would go away, but now she is starting to get older and they are still there (her Halloween picture, hence the face paint):

I think the peculiarities are caused by the nasal root, which appears to be unusually broad and flat. The most likely cause is simply natural variation I think, though it could perhaps be the result of a mild congenital defect.
