What makes East asians look east asian?
A forward grown face. Basically a protruding/larger/wider maxilla (making the ‘nose’ look smaller), zygos (cheekbones), and jaw that creates a full-faced look.
About the nose and maxilla, its important to know the nasal bone is just the strip of bone on the tip of the nose, the rest of the ‘nose’ is literally just the maxilla bone.
Diagram to help you with the terms used:
Racial differences in appearance is simple, not complex in the way many of us think. The east Asian look is essentially large (thus forward projected) facial bones relative to the rest of the skull, with Congoids, Melanesian/Australasians, and some Mestizos having medium sized facial bones with Caucasoids having small facial bones relative to the skull.
By connecting the dots, it doesn’t take much to realize that the scale described above makes human differences very clear to understand.
Forehead slope automatically determines both brow and nose bridge projection, as no human on earth has a nose bridge that suddenly juts out from the forehead/brow. The nose bridge naturally connects with the forehead/brow.
And it’s well documented that Mongolids have the most sloping forehead, though not by alot. This means that they actually have the most protruding brow ridges as well as highest nose bridges, if you really get technical.
The Browridge and the nose is in the same position, as demonstrated by official scientific studies :
Meaning that the full-faced look in east asians is caused by a more forward grown maxilla, orbitals, zygomas and mandible
The eyeball position to the lower orbital bone is much more similar among humans, but there is still some difference. Since the maxilla and zygos make up the lower & side orbital rims, having said bones being larger would result in slightly deeper set eyes relative to those lower & side orbitals.
On the other hand, that would cause shallower set eyes compared to the upper orbital rim, due to the forward projected large facial bones.
Having smaller/recessed facial bones also causes the eye sockets to be bigger, relative to the eyeballs. This actually creates the eye fold (non asian/monolid eyes) due to more ‘loose’ skin around the eyes, skin that are not directly attached to the bones.
It also simultaneously makes the skin stretch out from the eye, exposing more of that eyeball, often giving the eyes a bigger look among non mongolids.
That means monolid eyes is explained by smaller and more compact eye sockets around the eyes (due to larger face bones), making the eyes look “tighter” with the surrounding skin not being given enough empty room to fold and crease.
Mongolid eye sockets are also higher set vertically, if you pay attention to the gifs. From having a larger facial area. Mongolid eyeballs are middle set in the eyesockets, while non mongolid eyeballs are notably closer to the upper orbitals with a larger gap separating the lower orbital bone. This would make sense if both phenotypes had equal set eyeballs but the eye sockets of non-mongolids being enlargened and pulled down resulting in their look. This is also why the brow and eyes seem closer together in non-mongolids and especially caucasids.
