Why do Native Americans lack phenotypic diversity?

[Deleted member 16369]

Why do the native populations of both North and South America vary so little, phenotypically?

Tribes from Western Canada

VS tribes from Argentina (most Southern nation in South America)

From the top of Canada to the bottom of South America, the phenotypic difference is negligible among the indigenous populations. In Asia there’s 4 distinct races, Europeans can have any hair or eye color, they differ in stature. Africans can vary a lot from one tribe to the next.

The only exception to this are the Inuit but they migrated to Canada only 2000 years ago, they are essentially Asiatic. North Americans tend to be a little taller than South Americans though.

There are a lot of pure natives in South America and Canada. Unfortunately, (pure) NA only constitute 1% of the U.S. population.

Theyre very diverse lol. Caucasoid traits are more common among north amerindians.

Not compared to other continents. I can usually tell the difference between South American immigrants and Native Americans. However the Americas are hands down the least diverse continents, phenotypically.

North Amerindians are a bit taller, if that’s what you mean by “caucasoid trait.”

Not true. These are how the "Indians" from my region look

The Canadian natives look semi central asian

Wow. The one on the right looks Dravidian and the one in the middle looks ambiguous.

Nah, i meant this:

see the difference, one is way more mongoloid.
