Chukiangid Phenotype - Face Features & Origin

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

Average Face

The Chukiangid 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 Chukiangid phenotype is native to East Asia. 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: 35.00°, 110.00° (latitude, longitude).

Physical Characteristics

Yellow to olive- or coppery brown skin with straight hair. (Rather) short, macroskelic, endomorph. Mildly brachycephalic, (mildly) hypsicranic. Short, mesorrhine or mildly platyrrhine, round-tipped, depressed nose. The face is 田-shaped, relatively wide and flat. Mouth large, lips thick, prognathy mild, eyes rather open, epicanthic folds common, body hair scant.

Historical Background

South Sinid proper subvariety, named after the Chu Khang (Xi) river in South China. Developed in the fishing and gatherer populations of southern subtropical forests of China. Today typical for Cantonese, Guangdong, Fukien, Southern Yunna, mixed in Vietnamese, Tai, and Muong, rare in Southern Japanese/Koreans. Millennia of colonisation and trading dispersed it across Indochina and the Sunda Islands.
