Default Alpinid versus Mongolid nose

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.
