How common are Europeans with broad noses?

[renaissance12]

In Italy you have it all.....many alpine noses and many many "Roman" noses(dinaric influence).....my mom has dinarization in her nose, while i inherited my father's very straight nose....so how you can see, we have a lot of noses.


Broad noses in my opinion are not uncommon among Cromagnid types

Exactly, too many to say "italian nose"

I think I have a broad nose, maybe?

I can’t tell by your profile picture, but one way to check is to see if you have a low nose bridge. Broad noses are usually characterized as having a flat or non protruding dorsums and wider nasal index.

IMHO, the people you posted as broad-nosed ones look more stereotypically European than the rest.

That’s interesting since most Caucasoids are thought to have leptorrhine noses, which are long with a prominent nose bridge, and a profile of nasal projection with a narrow shape and elevated nasal height.

That type of nose is very common among Middle Easterners.

Yeah that’s true, which why I mentioned Caucasoid. Hawk noses, now that I think about it aren’t really European, it’s mostly mena people or those with mena ancestry who have those noses.

Might be but Greek and Roman noses are also very common among people of Middle Eastern descent.
Greeks, Albanians, Italians are the Europeans who are genetically closest to Middle Easterners.

Someone told me I have an African nose 😆 it's straight Greek nose but horizontally wide. Maybe it's CM influence?

I don't see a big difference between "normal" noses and "large" noses in your photos ...

If you wanna see a broad nose look left:


In comparison, almost all of the noses in your photos are just "normal", not broad.

he only posted North European with broad noses though, you would not say the same if he would post very dark Alpine/Berids.
some of the Russian examples could actually even be living in Asia ironically and have non-Euro in them.

The hawk nose example are very bad to be honest- Adrien Brody is only partially European, more MENA. Also their noses are not broad- just extremly hooked. You can find hooked, broad noses as well.

Btw Iraqis have a lot broad, short noses as well, does not make them more Euro looking.
