Amur-Sakhalin Phenotype - Face Features & Origin

The Amur-Sakhalin phenotype is a siberia human phenotype documented in historical anthropology literature. This page presents the Amur-Sakhalin phenotype average face composite, its geographic distribution, physical characteristics, historical background, and academic references.

Average Face

The Amur-Sakhalin phenotype average face is a composite synthesized from multiple individual photographs by historical anthropologists. It represents a statistical impression of recurring facial features, not a real person.

Geographic Distribution

The Amur-Sakhalin phenotype is native to Siberia. The historical distribution below reflects approximate centers of prevalence documented roughly 1500 years ago; modern borders and population movements have since blurred these boundaries.

Approximate coordinates: 60.00°, 100.00° (latitude, longitude).

Physical Characteristics

Light yellowish-brown skin with coarse straight to wavy, usually black hair and mostly dark eyes. Rather short, macroskelic, endomorph, sometimes ectomorph. Brachycephalic, orthocranic with a mildly leptorrhine, slightly prominent nose. The face is moderately flattened, broad with very protruding cheekbones. Mongoloid features and epicanthic folds very pronounced. Prognathy mild, body hair rather strong, eyebrows thick.

Historical Background

Distinctive Tungid variety, probably split from neighbouring types at the end of the Paleolithic. Native to parts of the Sakhalin-Amur region. Typified by Nivkhs (Gilyaks), mixed in Ulchs, and rare in Orochs and Aleuts. Nivkh culture suffered heavily from Chinese and Cossack influence. The type is present only in a few thousand today.
