how much of face is genetic

[nathan]

is it mostly genetic or does environment play a bigger role in how our face looks

 

[Crisick]

Probably 70-80% environment does play a part

what do you mean

not measurable

 

[nathan]

not measurable

why not

 

[Deleted member 43881]

why not

people dont have the same face

So jaw measurements are actually more than 100% genetic because people who have recession are more likely to go to orthodontists who fuck their jaw up even more.

genetics rule all doesn’t matter how good your environment is you can’t grow past your genetic potential. if ur born ugly ur born ugly no amount of environmental factor will save you.

however, possibly, environment plays a decent role if you have decent-good genes, allowing you to grow to the max

HOWEVER, the only environmental factors that make a difference are when you are in the womb and your early childhood/puberty. which was out of your control, anything past 16 is negligible

people dont have the same face

that can be explained by genetic recombination

that can be explained by genetic recombination

doesn’t change the genetic/fixable level

Environment will barely affect your face, unless we're counting rare exceptions like extreme malnutrition, serious injury, radiation etc.
