The Alpine nose is according to the Italian anthropologist Renato
Biasutti rather short and broad, but high-bridged, like it's initial predecessor of Mesolithic Germany, although snub-nosed types are as common. Flat nasal roots is however not typical Europid, but bear in mind that the Upper Paleolithic Europids had either incipient mongolid traits or some deceiving similitude in that direction, in any case, modern studies indicate that the Mongolids seperated themselves of the Eurasian stem about and only 15000years ago and developed some characteristic traits by the process of neoteny. Nevertheless, even in the cases of the Aurignician Combe Capelle type or the mesolithic Mechtoid Cromagnids, all having broad noses with platyrhine means, the nose is always fully recognizeable as Europid, with jutting nasal bone, straight or convex/beaky in design. The Mongolid nose has a flat and broad root with sometimes narrowish tops; it's deeply depressed below the nasion region, the resulting concavity can run to the middle of the nose bridge or change in convexity(with mediterrenean admixture?). Nasal aperture nor nasal bridge are however wide, but probably by evolved neoteny achieves an infantile character. The convergence to some alledged Mongoloid traits in the European stocks may frankly be rather a by-effect of neoteny than of actual Mongolid admixture. |
