Yenisey Phenotype - Face Features & Origin

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

Average Face

The Yenisey 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.

Approximate coordinates: 60.00°, 100.00° (latitude, longitude).

Historical Background

Sibirid subtype of the Yenisei River basin in Siberia. Shows some Americanoid features. Also seems to be culturally and linguistically linked to Pacifids, although no close genetic relationship is clear. May show a Proto Mongoloid state. Most common among the Ket people. They were never very numerous, numbering around 1000 individuals. In lower frequencies in other Uralic people and Nenets.
