So many of those ladies have ugly eyes with low canthal tilt:

Sorry about that, I didn't notice it. Maybe I have tomorrow time to find more old Finns and canthal tilts. In principle this look comes from Baltic ancestry. Opposite tilt comes from Siberian ancestry.

Here some pictures more, less than yesterday, because I wanted pictures from another parish and Kalajoki has overwhelmingly the best collection. This for Ymyyakhtakh's analyses and I always show only "poor" people, not "better" ones, to guarantee the origin (although it has no meaning here)

Here's a photo from my town from 1906. The girls who have a red dot over their head have bad eye shape, because they have prominent eyelids, dark areas around the eyes, or high orbits. The girls with a green dot over their head have good eye shape, because they have non-prominent eyelids, a low level of areas around the eyes, or low orbits. Note how the girls with a red dot over their head also tend to have a more elongated oval-shaped face.



Here you can see that the girls with a red dot over their head have much higher orbits. They also have a longer and more downturned nose with a shorter subnasal segment. Actually part of the reason why some people have a longer nose than others is that they have higher supraorbital rims, so the y-axis position of their nasal root is also higher.

Thanks. I have difficulties to judge children though. I added the boy in my previous post because he somewhat resembled me. (My ears were not equally big and I had more prominent upper eyelids. )

I have often wondered how US people ended up to those obelisks. I have seen them in many places. AFAIK the origin is in ancient Egypt.

yes. It is rather fascinating how relevant Ancient Egyptian architecture is in today's society. Of course the Greeks implemented them into their own culture which is why it was spread out to western society. Anyways, Obelisks were meant to represent stability, defense and protection. The Houston Pioneer memorial was built to celebrate Texas independence so it makes sense. History is cool :-)

And ancient Greek architecture has been widely implemented all over the USA. Especially government buildings.
