How climate affects your facial aesthetics
Some users on threads, such as @repiles , @LiteralCaucasian and @slavcelchinceljawcel have brought up how climate affects your facial aesthetics. PART 1 WARNING: INCOMING AUTISM! This thread may also interest @PrinceLuenLeoncur @justinzayn and @Moneymaxerr As racist as it sounds, users...

What climate zone do I look like I'm adapted to the most facially?
Taken from this thread: https://looksmax.org/threads/how-climate-affects-your-facial-aesthetics.617888/ For those of you who have seen me, what climate zone do I look like I'm adapted to the most facially? My mum's climate zone: 85% Cfb. Distant ancestors came from Aw. My dad's climate zone...

In general:
Hot/dry
Hot/wet
Warm
Cool
Cold
Ice
Note on the "Ice" classification:
How have we changed since our species first appeared?
Physical and genetic changes have occurred within our species and will continue to occur at a basic level as new genes evolve. However, these changes may not be as dramatic as they were in the past as the situation today does not favour the evolution of a new human species.

Northern Mongoloids are adapted to Arctic/Subarctic Climates by : 1) Having Monolid Eyes ( They protect from the wind , snow glare and cold ) 2) Having Subcutaneous Fat under their Skin ( keeps them warm ) 3.Having Straight Hair ( it keeps the head warmer and dries off faster if wet hence reducing coldness )
The disparity between the Mongoloid and the Caucasian are quite evident. The most prominent Mongoloid facial features— the flat face and slit eyes— evolved to accommodate cold temperatures. Eastern Siberia, was originally inhabited by the Tungus, a Mongoloid race. In temperatures as low as the recorded minus 96 degrees Fahrenheit, a facial structure lacking protuberances minimizes the surface area exposed to the cold. This flattening can be seen in reduced browbridges and the nasal skeleton that is the same altitude as the eye’s cornea. A widened face allows some compensation for the size of the nasal resonance chamber needed for speech, but this cavity needs to be more deeply set in order to heat inhaled air. Thus, to create this required depth, the malars, or cheekbones, are enlarged and extended forward.
Perhaps most striking of the Mongoloid characteristics are the eyes. The monolid, or epicanthic fold, is an adaptation to snow glare and snow blindness: the slit allows minimal reception to bright light. Where this slit occurs naturally on the Mongoloid, its effective design was emulated in man-made goggles created by the Arctic Eskimo, showing the engineer-like role of natural selection. Moreover, this monolid allows further protection from low temperatures. It is the fatty layer molded above and under the eye that creates the slit. Fat, a poor conductor of heat and thus an effective insulator, is distributed throughout the face. This facial fat is so crucial that the eye orbitals are extended vertically to provide additional space for fat.
East Asian ancestors came from Siberia—one of the coldest regions in Russia. However, during the historical migration, those with large eyes died due to snow blindness. Therefore, they couldn’t pass on their genetics.
These Siberian ancestors’ eyes have also developed an ‘epicanthic fold.’ It is an extra thin layer of skin, and it’s often associated with greater levels of fat disposition around the eyeball. It also serves as protection to the eyes from snow and sunlight glare.
For the purpose of this poll, the "ice" category will include anything north of southern China, even if they currently live in temperate climates. It will also include Caucasoid groups such as Samis.
