Nose may be big, but his menton-subnasale is longer. Long menton-subnasale is usually found in phenotypes with defined long jaw. Brunns also have this.

Interesting point!

Love how these "reconstructions" depict them as brunet even though their descendants were blonde and typical "Nordic". Modern historical "science" is so politically correct that nothing should be taken by face value

But I think the Yamnayas were at first darker, but they had the genes for blond hair and blue eyes?

Sounds bizarre. In my opinion Aryans were a mix of many phenotypes: some originating from ENF others from Eastern European natives. That mix probably produced an anomaly: Med phenotype with blonde hair and blue eyes (=Corded). It is possible that further in past the two founding elements weren't yet mixed, so we have ethnic "Indo-Europeans" that looked Afghan like... Scythians, Tocharians, as mummies and skeletal remains show, were recognizably Aryan already (1k years later than Yamnaya culture)

Even today among people whose phenotypes are of Aryan origin there is an obvious correlation between "Med" component and darker hair (in adulthood) and CM features with blonde hair.
