Pueblid Phenotype - Face Features & Origin
The Pueblid phenotype is a north america human phenotype documented in historical anthropology literature. This page presents the Pueblid phenotype average face composite, its geographic distribution, physical characteristics, historical background, and academic references.
Average Face
The Pueblid 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 Pueblid 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
Light to medium brown skin with straight or wavy hair. Medium height to tall, mesoskelic, endomorph. (Hyper-)brachycephalic, hypsicranic with a mesorrhine, occasionally convex nose. Rectangular face with an angular chin that is often receding. Forehead is narrow, body hair relatively strong, eyes mildly slanting.
Historical Background
Native American type, named after the Pueblo communities in Southwestern North America. Extends over a large area of Southern US states as well as Mexico. Most common in Hopi, Zuni, Choctaw, Caddo, Ute, Mohave, Nahua, Huichol, and many of their neighbours. As far North as Ojibwe and Kickapo and as far South as Aztecs, in those groups usually more mixed. Albinism comparatively common.
