How do genes affect looks?

[Deleted member 160598]

Idk i've never seen a newborn with a crooked nose or recessed mandible, tho i have a crooked nose but in my youth years it was straight, do they kick in during puberty or sum? Just curious.

Idk genes are everything

development and shit

Genes are always there bro, some do express themselves later in life but most of the time it's just that you lacked development to notice it

we are all born the same look at every baby they are very similar to eachother.
its all about nutrition and habits

New norms don’t have crooked noses because they don’t have nose bridges in the first place

Also recession of the jaw and maxilla is not genetic it’s environmental

Nobody is genetically born with a birdcel profile

Eyes are genetic
Symmetry is genetic and environmental
Maxilla and jaw is genetic and environmental
Zygos are genetic

What kind of retarded question is this?

Think of your genes like the base coding of a game. They set the potential — your bone length, facial harmony, how tall you can grow, how wide your frame could be. But genes aren’t a finished product. They’re more like sliders that can move depending on environment.

• Height: You might have tall genes, but if you’re malnourished during puberty, you’ll cap out shorter.
• Jaw & Maxilla: You might have naturally wide dental arches coded into your DNA, but if you grow up mouth-breathing, eating mushy food, slouching posture, your face won’t hit that genetic potential.
• Muscle & Fat: You might have good muscle-building genes, but if you never train or eat right, you’ll look skinny-fat.

Genes don’t decide everything. They give you the map — but your environment decides how much of that map you actually unlock.

• You might be genetically average, but with bad habits/environment, you’ll deform into below-average.
• You might be genetically good, but bad environment will cap you lower than your potential.
• You might be genetically mid, but good environment/maximal effort will push you way closer to the top.

It’s not just about “did you win the genetic lottery?” It’s “did you play the hand right?”
Most people in modern times don’t — which is why recessed jaws, crooked teeth, bad posture, skinny-fat bodies, etc. are the norm.

Forward growth is environmental, you reach your genetic potential and nobody naturally had birdcel genes bar asthmacels

but whether you have Jon Kurtajena's bones for example is genetic
