But do you think that mayas are Centralid Istmids the same to mexican Istmid and they look identical???
Keep in mind that I've never gone to Mexico nor to Guatemala. ...
Not pure in Honduras? Ok got it.Quote:

And probably some of them would be pure, I guess...
The most of centralamerican amerindians look more Istmid really same to other mesoamerican ones in Central México, but some of them have longer faces or hooked noses (not necessary both característics together).
But of course Istmid type seems to be more frequent.
Even in México I guess you can find A LOT of properly Pueblids with their característics (triangular faces, hooked noses), while en CA they exist but they are a little minority.
Yes, probably the weather and the environment have a strong relation with the phenotype in those cases.
The best example is the Andid phenotype, for that reason they have simolarities to some himalayan tribes I think (like some Sherpas).
Happily I found pics of these Chortis mayans from Honduras.Quote:

You are right in the sense many of them have almost roundish faces and wide noses, but I think that some individuals look a little ambiguous, with longer faces or even different noses but of course they are not the bulk.
Probably the weather and the environment have to do with this.

I think these are lowland mayas. That's why they have wider faces and wider noses.Quote:

That's is true. Most of your natives/indomestizos especially the Pueblids cannot pass as locals in SE Asia. For example, the football player, Joel Huiqui, despite his very dark skin, has a very unique phenotype and would not pass at all in SE Asia. His very tall height would make him stand out as a giant among the crowds in SE Asia lol. Also Joel Huiqui's skin tone is darker than most SE Asians to the point that it can make him not blending in. He also look pseudo triracial or pseudo African admixed which would make him stand out among locals in SE Asia.
Except maybe Istmid who can look Asian but they are more indigenous Central American than Mexican right?
