Cranio-facial growth patterns

**Taxonomyrequest** · 11-13-2019, 01:10 AM

Are you guys familiar with proper vs improper facial growth patterns do to oral posture and food toughness as per the theories of mike mew, and do you take that into account when assessing phenotypes? For example: if someone had an oddly retruded jaw, it could make them look uncharacteristic for their ethnicity and lead to misclassification. On the other hand, certain unnatural (as in those that wouldn’t be found in nature before agriculture) facial growth patterns could be the mark of certain ethnicities and identifying them could help in classification.

Is this a topic of discussion on this forum?

First: Mike Mew is Incel Bullshit. He lost his dentist licence.
jaw or tooth misalignment are real but the reasons are plenty. race or ethnicity, bad habbits, Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder, ......

For Example:
If you look at Michael Schumacher a dentist would say he has a jaw misalignment, so his chin looks like it look.
But if you take a look at mick schumacher, his son. he also got this chin.
so is it ethnicity or have they both the same bad habbits? because of race/ethnicity/DNA?

Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder is also never oder rare considered during classification.
FASD has varios facial effects. so how to know if its FASD or ethnicity?
Look at parents? But what if there parents also were drinking? is drinking then common in there ethnicity?

Fact is that different ethnicitys got different grow paterns.
but if it´s race/dns or environment influence it´s imho very hard to say.
A lot of Merkelmen are from Somalia. You see them everywhere in german streets.
They all got the same facial grow patterns, but i cant say if its race/dns or environment influence.

Problem is also that modern medicin dont want to put in one line with racial anthropology.
so they always look out for a explanation based on environment influence.
because they cant stay or say a explanation based on racial anthropology.

Epigenetik is a thema which make it also more complex.
environment influence could manifest in DNA.
So is it environment influenced or DNA or has the environment influence influenced the DNA.

classification on this board or on racial anthropology boards in generally are almost only based on the books from the racial anthropologists from 20. century.
they didn´t take that into account when assessing phenotypes so no user do it today when doing classifications on racial anthropology boards.

But imho its a very exciting topic and the future of racial anthropology.
