Deutero Malayid Phenotype - Face Features & Origin

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

Average Face

The Deutero Malayid 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.

Yellowish light to medium brown skin with straight or wavy hair. (Rather) short, mildly macroskelic, ectomorph. Brachycephalic, hypsicranic with a mesorrhine, relatively flat nose with round wings. Lips are relatively thick, jaw squat, body hair weak. Eyes slanting, Mongolian folds in some individuals, prognathy is mild.

Historical Background

The insular counterpart of Shanids. Several components gave rise to this type in mainland Asia: Proto Malayid and Proto Sinid consumed other elements (e.g. Indid) when they migrated South. Over the past millennia the type dispersed across a vast area from Madagascar to the Easter Island. Typified today by Malays. The dominant element in Malaysia, Java, Central Philippines. Also common across Indonesia, in East Madagascar (e.g. Hova), Cham of Vietnam, West Micronesia, and occasionally Taiwan, East India, South Japan, and Polynesia.
