Phenotype

Mexicid Phenotype - Face Features & Origin

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

Average Face

The Mexicid 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 Mexicid phenotype is native to North America. 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: 45.00°, -100.00° (latitude, longitude).

Physical Characteristics

Reddish medium, sometimes dark brown skin, often straight black hair. (Rather) short, meso-, sometimes macroskelic, endomorph, sometimes ectomorph. Mesocephalic, sometimes dolichocephalic, mildly hypsicranic. Mesorrhine, straight or slightly concave nose with a depressed root. Face rhomboid, mildly prognathous. Chin slightly receding, visible supraorbital arches. Eyes usually not slanted.

Historical Background

Margid proper. Probably arrived with one of the earlier migrations to America. Typified by Otomi, Purépecha, Pame, Pima of Mexico, as well West Mono and Pomo of California. More mixed in Maidu, Aztecs, Maya, Yuma, Shoshone, and many others over a large area from Northern Guatemala to the Great Plains. Although it is often mixed today, it still plays an important role in modern Mexicans.
