Meaning racially, and what you come from as far as ancestors,without a person necessarily being white, black,brown, etc.......no other part of the face tells of your linage of mixed blood like the nose does?

The shape of a persons nose tells more about them than anything else,could this be a link to our creation and different colors?

Oh and also what would a reptilians nose look like?
Think I got it all covered :camp

Interesting, that's true about the nose, it seems to be inherited quite directly, and usually you can also tell is persons nose shape from moms or dads side. :D

I must have inherited my hooter from my dad, because it looks nothing like my mum's, bro's, or sis's nose :chuckle:

I've read that it's to do with the climate and regulating heat etc. Longer noses with smaller nostrils warm the air up a bit before it goes into the throat and lungs and keep cold out. Shorter noses with larger nostrils keep the air cooler. This certainly seems to make sense.

Also, I'm British, so the rain just drips off the end of my big nose :chuckle:

Hmmm, I have a very straight, upturned nose, my nostrils might be big...I can put my thumb tip in them without stretching...maybe I have small thumbtips though :D
Also my mum's biological dad hailed from Arizona, so I'm one quarter Arizonan, so maybe I've got a cooling down nose or something :chuckle:

Reptilians probably don't have noses, just nostrils or something :chuckle:

I think it was the George Noorey show that had a guy on that said the classic African nose was actually best suited for a cold climate and he explained in great detail why

No really I don't, my main workout buddy is black and has a nickname that he loves,I told him it's not the case and that genetically speaking or from what has been discovered the black race evolved from a cold climate,he is extremely intelligent but doesn't agree with me.

I hesitate to say his nickname,but he loves it

The above info states that whites evolved from a cold climate and we were originally coloured right?

So why would blacks evolve from a cold climate?

In my opinion,and I wish that I could remember the coast to coast show this guy explained why a flat classic negro nose was originally from and better suited for a cold climate and not a hot climate as Africa is.

So the previous link you gave to a site explaining that people evolved white skin due to climate is a total fallacy based on the nose shape then?

Yes in my opinion it's not correct,I believe that the black race evolved first and was dominant,and that through the ages we have weaken to the white pigmentation and our natural strength and flexibility and speed has diminished

Ah so, the nose thing is whats wrong and that the white race evolved in your opinion when people moved to colder climates and adapted yep?

I'd go for that tbh, although it puts the nose out of joint so to speak lol :)

Despite the fact that the four Bushmen come from neighbouring parts of the Kalahari, their genetic diversity is astounding. Pick any two and peer into their genomes and you’d see more variety than you would between a European and an Asian.
