Toalid Phenotype - Face Features & Origin

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

Average Face

The Toalid 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 Toalid phenotype is native to Southeast 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: 5.00°, 110.00° (latitude, longitude).

Physical Characteristics

Medium to dark brown skin, usually wavy, sometimes curly hair. Short, ectomorph, meso- macroskelic and infantile. Meso- brachycephalic, mildly hypsicranic with a round occiput and a platyrrhine, often depressed and concave nose. The face is broad, low and angular. Males often show supraciliary arches, women are more infantile. Prognathy is common, chin receding.

Historical Background

The easternmost Veddid type, usually shorter-skulled. The oldest living type of the Sunda Islands. More widespread in historic times and probably pushed back by South Mongolids. Diluted today. In its purest form in the Toala of Celebes, where it occurs in Tokea and Loinang as well. May also be found in Sumatra (Kubu, Lubu, Batak), Borneo (Ulu Ajar), Lombok, Philippines (Aeta, Mangyan), even South-East Papua and Madagascar (Sihanaka).
