    I've heard "Asian eyes" are an evolutionary adaptation to too much light. In Siberia the sunlight reflects off of snow and ice, while in the desert (North Africa) there is also too much sunlight unlike for example in African jungles.

    Interesting. That could be why.

    But how do you explain East Asians with their small eyes who live in temperate climates then? Or do they received that from their Siberian ancestors who migrated from the north?

    Btw, its not only the eyes that makes many North Africans look Mongoloid, is their overall facial features as well.

    He looks much more Mongoloid when he gets older. Why is that?

    I don't think that explanation makes sense for north africans who have always lived in the non-desertic/mediterranean part of north africa. Proto-berbers only "recently" settled in the desert and many of the people I posted are from the High Atlas mountain where snow is more common than sand

    She also looks SE Asian. I have seen Thais or Indonesians who look like her.


    This old man reminds me of some Hui Muslim from China or Uighur from Xinjiang


    I have seen old Chinese grannies with this face:


    Looks Central Asian like a Kazakh, Uighur or Uzbek


    This one also reminds me of some Central Asians:


    I swear I have seen some Chinese girls and celebrities who look exactly like this. :


    I think this old folk can pass in Central Asia like Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan


    She reminds me of Half Korean Half White or Half Chinese Half White Hapas.

    Can this guy pass as a more Asian looking North African? Please don't quote his pics. He is someone who I know. Plan to delete his pics later.

    Skull and Mongolian face exists in Africa. The slanting eyes of the Mongols I believe were never climatic adaptation.
