The Mongoloid race includes the indigenous inhabitants of the Far North, East and North Asia. About a fifth of the entire population of the earth has signs of this particular race. Of course, in many cases they turn out to be weakened due to the mixing of the blood of representatives of different peoples, and this should be taken into account.
The main signs of representatives of the Mongoloid race
The most characteristic feature of Mongoloids is a combination of very dark, coarse hair and a special cut of the eyes, in which the upper eyelid hangs over the inner corner, making the eyes narrow and slanted. Most often, representatives of this race are recognized precisely by these features. It should also be noted that they are characterized by brown, sometimes almost black tint of the eyes and a yellowish or brownish complexion.
Looking more closely at the representatives of the Mongoloid race, you can notice other signs. The nose of such people is usually either thin or moderately wide. Its lines are clearly defined, and the bridge of the nose is slightly displaced downward. The lips of the Mongoloids are not too thick, but not too thin either. Another feature is prominent, very well-defined cheekbones.
Representatives of the Mongoloid race are also distinguished by poorly developed body hair. So, in Mongoloid men, you rarely see hair growing on the chest or in the lower abdomen. Facial vegetation is also quite rare, which becomes especially noticeable when comparing the appearance of the representatives of this race with the appearance of Caucasians.
Different options for the appearance of representatives of the Mongoloid race
All representatives of the Mongoloid race are usually divided into two types. The first - continental - includes people with a darker skin tone, thin lips. The features of the representatives of the second type - the Pacific - are a relatively light face, a medium-sized head, thickened lips. In addition, it should be borne in mind that the second type is characterized by a very insignificant, almost imperceptible protrusion of the upper jaw above the lower, while in the representatives of the first type, the jaw does not stand out in comparison with the general outlines of the face.
Geographically, Mongoloids are divided into northern and southern. Representatives of the first type are Kalmyks, Tuvinians, Tatars, Buryats, Yakuts. They tend to have fairly fair skin and round, somewhat flat faces. The second type includes the Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese. They are often distinguished by lower stature, refined, medium-sized facial features, and a special eye shape. It should be borne in mind that many representatives of the second type have clear signs of mixing with Australoids. Due to this, the features of their appearance become more diverse, therefore, it is somewhat difficult to determine exactly their belonging to the Mongoloid race.
