A person of Russian nationality. What Jews look like, appearance of women and men photos, distinctive characteristics of Jewish nationality

The nose has important In human life. It consists of an osteochondral skeleton and the nasal sinuses. The organ is involved in breathing, smelling and is a filter for germs and dust. The nose affects the shape of the face, characterizes personality, age and ethnicity. Therefore, each organ is unique. However, not all noses are perfect, and the idea of ​​them is subjective. Let's look at the secret to a perfect nose.

Nationality and perfect nose

Within every ethnic group there is a wide variety of facial features, and the nose is no exception. For diagnosis, not only absolute dimensions (length and width) are taken, but also the nasal index. Narrow is found among Europeans and Eskimos. Broad nose is characteristic of blacks, Australians, Melanesians, and African pygmies.

Various criteria for determining the perfect nose

Let's look at the nose in terms of proportions.

• Symmetry is a generally accepted characteristic of beauty. To do this, the face is divided vertically into three parts, where the nose represents the middle part of the face.
• If you divide the face vertically into five parts, you will notice that the width of the organ approximately corresponds to the width of each eye.

The ideal nose according to Leonardo da Vinci

The Italian scientist, artist and scientist in the 15th-16th centuries gave the most complete idea of ​​the model of the perfect and the body. He devoted a number of studies to this topic, drew sketches and drew conclusions about ideal proportions. A feeling of harmony appears if the figure is based on symmetry and the principle of the golden ratio. This principle is that the human body is composed of components that stand in a certain relationship to each other and to the whole.

To measure the parameters of the nose and check the principle of the golden proportion, you will also need measuring instruments: a ruler, a pencil and a protractor.

The parameters of the nose become ideal if its length corresponds to one third of the height of the face, and the height of the tip is equal to two thirds of the back of the nose.

How can you tell a person's character by their nose?

Nose length. Short indicates a person who is open, optimistic, flexible and friendly. Very long - characterizes an intelligent but capricious personality. Long and characteristic of calm, charming and business people. A long nose indicates a conservative personality.

Nose shape and the character of people are interconnected. A straight nose indicates the owner’s honesty, energy and calm character, while a skinny nose indicates a person’s poor concentration. A potato nose is characteristic of slow, phlegmatic people. A person will have to work a lot with a narrow nose. If a woman has a small one, she is jealous.

Definition of character by tip of the nose:

• A round shape is characteristic of a successful person.
• The pointed tip indicates a treacherous, treacherous personality.
• An upturned nose characterizes a person with unstable sexual morals and unable to keep secrets.
• A full, convex and large tip of the nose is characteristic of a kind, hardworking, kind-hearted person capable of self-sacrifice.
• A split tip of the nose indicates suspicion and shyness of its owner.

Female standard of beauty

A girl's ideal nose has been studied by many scientists based on facial analysis. beautiful girls antiquity and modern beauties.

IN Ancient Egypt The standard of beauty is a slender, graceful woman with a straight nose, big eyes and huge lips. IN Ancient Greece The standard of beauty was the sculpture of Aphrodite, which had a straight nose profile, large expressive eyes and a majestic posture. The Greek profile was emphasized by straight lines of the chin, mouth and nose, and a low forehead.

Modern research was carried out by American scientists under the leadership of Professor Omar Ahmed. They looked for the formula for a woman's ideal nose and came to the conclusion that its beauty depends on the angle formed by the base of the nose and the line connecting its tip to the lips. In a study of four thousand girls, a focus group and online users rated faces with noses ranging from 96 to 116 degrees. After processing the results, it turned out that optimal angle- 106 degrees. The singer has such a neat, slightly upturned nose, famous model and actress Scarlett Johansson. It is with a nose like hers that girls want to see a plastic surgeon.

Now there is no standard of beauty. Individuality is valued. More and more often, European designers invite girls of atypical appearance to the catwalk.

What does it mean in men?

According to scientists, the shape of a man’s nose speaks not only about his mental, creative and artistic abilities, but also about his sexual activity.

The most popular myth is that men with small noses have sexual problems, and those with large noses have problems of a sexual nature. However, there is no evidence of this.

Men with long noses are smart, conservative people. They value habits, tradition and family. Easy to find mutual language with men with short noses. They are friendly and optimistic.

People with little ones are balanced, practical and energetic. They are often the soul of the party and leaders.

More often than others, men with a fleshy nose or potatoes are unlucky in their personal lives. They are careful, hardworking and attentive.

Men with a hump on the nose are stubborn, calculating, and have a strong character.

The ideal male nose is straight. Such men are educated, straightforward, and love beauty. However, often personal life does not work out.

How to make a beautiful nose?

Nature has endowed man with an individual appearance. But what if there are flaws and need to be hidden? There are many ways to achieve image harmony and improve your appearance.

Let's look at some of them:

• With the help of makeup, you can visually enlarge or reduce different parts of the face. With a slight movement of powder and foundation, you can create the perfect nose for a girl.
• Using a hairstyle, you can emphasize your face shape and hide imperfections.
• Radical methods of changing appearance include plastic surgery. If a person has serious congenital or acquired defects, for example, curvature of an organ after an injury, then rhinoplasty will help cope with this problem.

Every person is unique. The idea of ​​a perfect face and an ideal nose is subjective and changes all the time. By properly emphasizing your strengths, you can achieve harmony in your appearance and significantly increase your self-esteem.

You can, but you won’t always be sure you’re right. There are many mixed marriages now. The person will be of one nationality, and his nose (from dad or mom) will be of another nationality :)

The nose of a black man, the nose of a person of Caucasian nationality, are very pronounced. But you can’t tell a Russian nose from a Belarusian nose.

Nationality by nose shape- this, if you hear it, is perceived as fun) I immediately remembered a girl named Ega, because... All her life she was only Russian by nationality.

Let's take a close look at this pretty lady (especially her nose) and try to answer: by the shape of her nose, how can you not tell that she is not Russian?

Now look no less carefully at the photo below. Do you recognize ours, and is he Russian or not?



To make it easier for you to compare belonging to our race, these two photos can be combined



How are you guys? This is a question for those who take this topic seriously. Who are the Russians, us, them, or Masha and the Bear from documentary film about the merry Russians))?



I think it will be quite difficult to determine 100%, but in combination with some other sign it is quite possible, but even then you can make a mistake. It is especially important to distinguish, for example, a Russian from a Belarusian and a Belarusian from a Ukrainian by the nose.

And even more so with plastic surgery.

But I must say that it’s still interesting to guess.



With 100% certainty - no. We can only talk about habitat, race, subrace, because some, for example, Tatars (Mongoloid race) have Iranian or North Baltic noses. Or the Greeks (in appearance - typical Turks) have the noses of Azerbaijanis (Transcaucasian subrace).

The indigenous inhabitants of Foggy Albion (look closely - you will understand what I mean), Jews, Iranians, Armenians (and not all of them), Georgians, and Slavs of the North Caucasus have characteristic noses.

Can. The Greeks have a hump. The Italians have a straight one. And so on.

Impossible...Only we have so many nations in Dagestan...and each nation has different noses)))))

How do you determine?

Once upon a time, back in Stalin's times, the police were given a memo on what signs can be used to determine the nationality of a person belonging to a great community - the Soviet people. They described characteristic features, including the shape of the nose. But the main thing is the drawing-memo.



Based on the shape of the nose, it is currently not possible to determine, but to suggest a genetic affiliation with some nationality, nationality or ethnic group. The nose is, after all, a fairly characteristic inherited trait, and in many nationalities it is undoubtedly pronounced. Another thing is that now there are a lot of mixed marriages, and accordingly mestizo people, so establishing the true roots with 100% confidence based on the nose alone is a dubious undertaking.

I think it's possible. But this is only possible for physiognomists (or physiognomists), in general, people whose specialty is related to determining character traits based on the shape of parts of the human body.

However, the shape of the nose is not the main indicator of nationality. You can spot a Georgian by his nose, but not a Russian.

Nationality is a combination of many traits and characteristics that have developed over centuries and external influences. Representatives of neighboring regions may not differ significantly, but residents of different continents differ radically. Some examples of nationalities according to the shape of the nome - Chichens have an even large nose with a wide bridge, Georgians have an elongated nose with a hump, Jews have a large nose with a drooping tip, Armenians also have an elongated nose with a hump, the Chinese have a small and narrow nose like the Tatars. It is believed that it is by the structure of the nose that one can only determine whether a person belongs to the southern or northern type.

Each nationality has its own external signs: eye color, hair color, nose shape, build... You can always distinguish an Italian (dark eyes, curly hair, impetuous movements...) from a Scandinavian (blond hair, fair skin, gray eyes, leisurely movements...). So and the shape of the nose makes it possible to determine a person’s racial identity. Of course, in the last one and a half to two hundred years, people have been migrating throughout the globe, absorbing foreign culture and customs. However, the anthropological type of a person cannot change within 3-4 generations.

In part it is possible, the nose is one of the signs of a particular nationality, but due to frequent mixing, these signs gradually lose their belonging, after all, genetics is an unclear thing. It happens that a child can take more from one parent than from the other.

Entertaining anthropology
Over several decades of intense research, anthropologists have been able to identify the appearance of a typical Russian person. To do this, they had to convert to a single scale all the photographs from the photo library of the Museum of Anthropology with full-face and profile images of typical representatives of the population of the Russian regions of the country and, combining them by the pupils of the eyes, superimpose them on each other. The final photographic portraits turned out, naturally, blurry, but they gave an idea of ​​the appearance of the standard Russian people. This was the first truly sensational discovery. After all, similar attempts by French scientists led to a result that they had to hide from the citizens of their country: after thousands of combinations from the resulting photographs of the reference Jacques and Marianne, gray faceless ovals of faces were seen. Such a picture, even among the most distant Frenchmen from anthropology, could raise an unnecessary question: is there a French nation at all?
Unfortunately, anthropologists did not go beyond creating photographic portraits of typical representatives of the Russian population in different regions of the country and did not superimpose them on each other in order to obtain the appearance of an absolute Russian person. They explained this to the “authorities” by the supposed scientific lack of information in such work, but in the end they were forced to admit that such a photograph could get them into trouble at work. By the way, “regional” sketches of Russian people were published in the general press only in 2002, and before that they were published in small editions only in scientific publications for specialists. Only in this issue “Vlast” fills this gap in Russian anthropology and for the first time publishes photographic portraits of absolutely Russian people, obtained by us by superimposing the faces of “regional” Russian people on top of each other. Now you can judge for yourself how similar they are to the typical cinematic Ivanushka and Marya.
Unfortunately, mostly black and white old ones archival photos The faces of Russian people do not allow us to convey the height, physique, color of skin, hair and eyes of a Russian person. However, anthropologists have created a verbal portrait of Russian men and women. They are of average build and average height, light brown-haired with light eyes - gray or blue. By the way, during the research a verbal portrait of a typical Ukrainian was also obtained. The standard Ukrainian differs from a Russian only in the color of his skin, hair and eyes - he is a dark brunette with regular facial features and brown eyes. A snub nose turned out to be absolutely uncharacteristic of an Eastern Slav (found in only 7% of Russians and Ukrainians); this feature is more typical for Germans (25%).
However, anthropological measurements of proportions human body- not even the last, but the century before last, science, which has long ago received at its disposal the most accurate methods of molecular biology, which make it possible to read all human genes. And the most advanced methods of DNA analysis today are sequencing (spell reading genetic code) mitochondrial DNA and DNA of the human Y chromosome. Mitochondrial DNA is passed down through the female line from generation to generation, virtually unchanged since the time when the ancestor of mankind, Eve, climbed down from the tree in East Africa. And the Y chromosome is present only in men and therefore is also passed on to male offspring almost unchanged, while all other chromosomes, when transmitted from father and mother to their children, are shuffled by nature, like a deck of cards before being dealt. Thus, unlike indirect signs ( appearance, body proportions), sequencing of mitochondrial DNA and Y-chromosome DNA indisputably and directly indicate the degree of relatedness of people.

Entertaining gene geography
In the West, human population geneticists have been successfully using these methods for two decades. In Russia they were used only once, in the mid-1990s, when identifying royal remains. The turning point in the situation with the use of the most modern methods to study the titular nation of our country occurred only in 2000. Russian Foundation Fundamental Research allocated approximately half a million rubles from state budget funds for the study of the gene pool of the Russian people. It is impossible to implement a serious program with such funding. But this was more of a landmark decision than just a financial decision, indicating a change in the country’s scientific priorities. Scientists from the Laboratory of Human Population Genetics of the Medical Genetic Center of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, who received a grant from the Russian Foundation for Basic Research, national history were able to completely concentrate for three years on studying the gene pool of the Russian people, and not small nations. And limited funding only spurred their ingenuity. They supplemented their molecular genetic research with an analysis of the frequency distribution of Russian surnames in the country. This method was very cheap, but its information content exceeded all expectations: a comparison of the geography of surnames with the geography of genetic DNA markers showed their almost complete coincidence.
Unfortunately, interpretations of family analysis that appeared in the media this summer (after the first publication of data in a specialized scientific journal), could create a wrong impression about the goals and results of the enormous work of scientists. As the head of the project, Doctor of Science Elena Balanovskaya, explained to “Vlasti”, the main thing was not that the surname Smirnov turned out to be more common among Russian people than Ivanov, but that it was compiled for the first time full list truly Russian families by region of the country. At the same time, scientists had to spend a lot of time collecting Russian surnames on our own. The Central Election Commission and local election commissions flatly refused to cooperate with scientists, citing the fact that only if voter lists are kept secret can they guarantee the objectivity and integrity of elections to federal and local authorities. The criterion for including a surname in the list was very lenient: it was included if at least five bearers of this surname lived in the region for three generations. First, lists were compiled for five conditional regions - Northern, Central, Central-Western, Central-Eastern and Southern. In total, across all regions there were about 15 thousand Russian surnames, most of which were found only in one of the regions and were absent in others. When superimposing regional lists on top of each other, scientists identified a total of 257 so-called “all-Russian surnames.” It's interesting that on final stage research, they decided to add the names of residents to the list of the Southern region Krasnodar region, expecting that the predominance of Ukrainian surnames of the descendants of the Zaporozhye Cossacks, evicted here by Catherine II, would significantly reduce the all-Russian list. But this additional restriction reduced the list of all-Russian surnames by only 7 units - to 250 (see list). Which led to the obvious and not for everyone pleasant conclusion that Kuban is populated mainly by Russian people. Where did the Ukrainians go and were they even here at all is a big question.
The analysis of Russian surnames generally gives food for thought. Even the simplest action that “Vlast” performed—searching for the names of all the country’s leaders—yielded an unexpected result. Only one of them was included in the list of bearers of the top 250 all-Russian surnames - Mikhail Gorbachev (158th place). The surname Brezhnev occupies 3767th place in the general list (found only in the Belgorod region of the Southern region). The surname Khrushchev is in 4248th place (found only in the Northern region, Arkhangelsk region). Chernenko took 4749th place (only South Region). Andropov is in 8939th place (Southern region only). Putin took 14,250th place (Southern region only). But Yeltsin didn’t get into common list. Stalin's surname - Dzhugashvili - was not considered for obvious reasons. But the pseudonym Lenin was included in the regional lists at number 1421, second only to the first president of the USSR, Mikhail Gorbachev.
The result amazed even the scientists themselves, who believed that the main difference between the bearers of southern Russian surnames was not the ability to lead a huge power, but the increased sensitivity of the skin of their fingers and palms. Scientific analysis Dermatoglyphics (papillary patterns on the skin of the palms and fingers) of Russian people showed that the complexity of the pattern (from simple arches to loops) and the accompanying sensitivity of the skin increases from north to south. “A person with simple patterns on the skin of his hands can hold a glass of hot tea in his hands without pain,” Dr. Balanovskaya clearly explained the essence of the differences. “And if there are a lot of loops, then such people make unsurpassed pickpockets.” However, “Vlast”, in an interview with the country’s chief geneticist, academician Sergei Inge-Vechtomov (see #24 for 2004), has already warned that underestimating a person’s genetics in his career guidance has brought and continues to bring huge losses to the country. And again he draws attention to this: it is absolutely clear that from the point of view of increasing labor productivity, it is more profitable to locate thin, high-tech assembly production in the south of Russia, where the fingers of the population are most suitable for assembling microprocessors, and hot industries that do not require fine motor skills of the hands (steel foundries and similar type) - in the north.

The Elusive Gene Pool
However, cheap indirect methods studies of the genetics of the Russian people (by surnames and dermatoglyphics) were only auxiliary for the first study in Russia of the gene pool of the titular nationality. His main molecular genetic results are now being prepared for publication in the form of a monograph “Russian Gene Pool”, which will be published at the end of the year by the Luch publishing house. Unfortunately, due to a lack of government funding, scientists had to carry out part of the research together with foreign colleagues, who imposed a moratorium on many results until joint publications were published in the scientific press. The reason is valid, and “Vlast”, unfortunately, cannot provide original graphs and flowcharts of DNA analysis of Russian people and their neighbors in the Russian Federation, CIS countries and some European countries. But nothing prevents us from describing these data (which are at the disposal of “Power”) in words. Thus, according to the Y chromosome, the genetic distance between Russians and Finns is 30 conventional units. And the genetic distance between Russian people and the so-called Finno-Ugric peoples (Mari, Vepsians, etc.) living on the territory of the Russian Federation is 2-3 units. Simply put, genetically they are almost identical. And the harsh statement by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Estonia on September 1 at the Council of the EU in Brussels (after the denunciation by the Russian side of the treaty on state border with Estonia) about discrimination against the Finno-Ugric peoples allegedly related to the Finns in the Russian Federation loses its substantive meaning. But due to the moratorium of Western scientists, the Russian Foreign Ministry was unable to reasonably accuse Estonia of interfering in our internal, one might even say closely related, affairs. The results of mitochondrial DNA analysis also fall under the same moratorium, according to which Russians from Tatars are at the same genetic distance of 30 conventional units that separates us from Finns, but between Ukrainians from Lvov and Tatars the genetic distance is only 10 units. And at the same time, Ukrainians from the left bank of Ukraine are genetically as close to the Russians as the Komi-Zyrians, Mordovians and Maris. You can react as you please to these strictly scientific facts, which show the natural essence of the standard electorates of Viktor Yushchenko and Viktor Yanukovych. But it will not be possible to accuse Russian scientists of falsifying these data: then the accusation will automatically extend to their Western colleagues, who have been delaying the publication of these results for more than a year, each time extending the moratorium period.
The only thing that “Vlast” can do today for the Russian people is to publish a map indicating the area where truly Russian genes are still preserved. Geographically, this territory coincides with Russia during the time of Ivan the Terrible and clearly shows the conventionality of some state borders.
In conclusion, Russian scientists asked to publish their appeal to President Vladimir Putin, Prime Minister Mikhail Fradkov and the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation. “Huge megacities are, in fact, black holes that suck in the gene pool of the Russian people and destroy them without a trace,” says Dr. Balanovskaya. “Now the boundaries within which primordially Russian genes are still preserved in villages and small towns have become known But even there, due to lack of money, mothers are giving birth to fewer and fewer children. Meanwhile, against the backdrop of huge government spending on other targeted needs. financial assistance giving these women children can save the Russian gene pool from further degradation.”

Figure

People of the Nordic race are tall and slender. Average height adult men are 1.75-1.76 m, often reaching 1.90 m. And this is not due to the excessive length of the legs, as, for example, among blacks from the upper Nile. In terms of the proportion of the length of the legs to the entire length of the body, this race occupies just a middle position between the short-legged Mongoloids and some tall tropical tribes. The height of the seat is approximately 52-53% of the height of the body.

Growth in people of the Nordic race lasts the longest; it can be significant even in the period between 20 and 25 years. In southern Italy it ends earlier than in northern Italy; in Baden it ends less during this period than in Sweden. A relationship has been established between the achievement of sexual maturity and the completion of growth. Since people of the Nordic race have a longer growth period, puberty occurs later.

Men of the Nordic race, in addition to being tall, are distinguished by wide shoulders and narrow hips. The slenderness of male hips is emphasized by a feature very characteristic of the Nordic race, the so-called. the antique pelvic fold, a muscular thickening running from the spinal ridge through the thigh forward and down. Ancient Greek sculptors liked to emphasize this racial feature. A special thickening of the upper part of the kneecap is also present in Europe, mainly among the Nordic race.

Nordic women are also distinguished by their racial slenderness, despite their feminine body shapes. Here the effect of the so-called false thinness: Nordic women in clothing appear thin despite their developed female forms.

Slimness is manifested in the shape of all parts of the body: neck, arms, legs, hips. The ratio of arm length to body length is the same as in the case of leg length: the arms of people of the Nordic race are not as short as those of Mongoloids and not as long as those of Negroids. The arm span of people of the Nordic race is equal to 94-97% of body length. Knoop established these figures in a study of the Nordic population of Lower Saxony; according to his data, the longer the head, the more this figure approaches 94.

The artist of people of the Nordic race is struck by the freedom inherent in every part of the body, every muscle, as if they obey their own special laws of formation while maintaining a harmonious whole.

Scull

The shape of the skull is as slender as the body. People of the Nordic race have a long skull and a narrow face. The average cranial index is about 74 (on the head of a living person this corresponds to the figure 75-75.5). The width of the Nordic head is related to its length as 3:4. Many researchers bring the longitudinal-transverse index for living representatives of the Nordic race to 77.9, Deniker even to 79. (While Kollman takes the cranial index of the Nordic race as the average value as 71.5, Eugen Fischer - 76-79.) I believe , that heads or skulls with an index up to 79 can be considered Nordic if they have a convex back of the head, characteristic of the Nordic race. It is likely that the width of the head and skull of the Nordic race varies over a larger range than that limited by an index of less than 75. In any case, the dolichocephaly of the Nordic race is closer to mesocephaly than the pronounced dolichocephaly of the Negroes or Eskimos.

The width of the Nordic face is 10:9 to the length, but a ratio of 10:10 is also common. We can say that the facial index of the Nordic race is above 90. Long heads, combined with narrow faces, make the head shape such that it can be enclosed in a rectangle. This shape is striking among Nordic people with short hair or bald, especially when turning the head. If the round head does not change shape when turning - the ball looks the same from all sides - then when turning the Nordic head, two long side planes are especially striking. If we divide the side view of the head into two sections, one in front and the other behind the ears, we see that the Nordic head develops in length mainly behind the ears. The back of the head, as already mentioned, is convex. If a long-headed person is placed against a wall, the back of his head will touch it, but with a round-headed person there will be a gap between the back of his head and the wall.

The Nordic skull is distinguished by a relatively low height of the area behind the ears, so we can talk about flat shape of this skull (in children, however, this sign is not expressed). The Nordic (and Dinaric) races are characterized by a strongly protruding occipital protuberance. A purely Nordic feature is the process of the temporal bone. If the area behind the ears in other European races is relatively flat, in the Nordic race a noticeable elevation can be felt there.

The features of a Nordic face in profile are clearly pronounced. The forehead is sloping back, the eyes are deep-set, the nose is more or less prominent. The jaws and teeth are located almost vertically. The chin protrudes especially sharply. The presence of three protruding parts gives the impression of aggressiveness. When an artist wants to express in the facial features the qualities of a leader, courage, willpower, he always draws a more or less Nordic (or Nordic-Dinaric or Nordic-Falian) head.

From the front, attention is drawn to a narrow forehead, slightly arched eyebrows, a narrow bridge of the nose, and a narrow, angular chin. The head is narrowed at the temples, as if it were squeezed on both sides in a vice.

This general impression is contributed by the shapes of the individual bones of the skull and soft parts faces. The forehead running back is combined with noticeable brow ridges and glabella (thickening above the bridge of the nose). These signs are less pronounced in women and young people. The eye sockets have the shape of an oblong ellipse or quadrangle.

A very important facial feature is the cheekbones. Among the Nordic race they are not very noticeable, because they are turned to the side and located almost vertically.

Individual races differ in the shape of their nose. The Nordic race has a narrow nose, starting from the bridge of the nose, so that there is often no visible border between it and the forehead (“Greek nose”). In profile it is sometimes straight, sometimes curved outward. There are also concave noses and noses that curve slightly outward in the lower third (a common form in Sweden). If the Nordic nose is curved, it usually describes a smooth arc. It is more of a hooked or hawk-like nose than an aquiline (curved at the top) like that of the Dinaric race. The ratio of the length (height) of the nose compared to other parts of the face is the largest in the Nordic (and Dinaric) races, in the Western race it is smaller, and in the Eastern and Eastern Baltic races it is the smallest. The nostrils are located under acute angle. The Nordic nose develops from a child's snub nose by age 25. Women of all races have wider noses. The Nordic race also has a nose shape that looks straight in profile, but slightly wavy. The strongly protruding nose of people of the Nordic race, such as that of the Norwegian polar explorer Amundsen, is usually and especially narrow.

The narrowness of the Nordic face is due to the greater curvature of the cornea of ​​the eyes, the narrowness of the jaws and the close arrangement of the teeth, with the fangs located at an angle. A purely Nordic feature - large and long upper front incisors.

Soft parts of the face. These parts do not blur the impression of a narrow face. The skin of the face has a uniform thickness, the eyelids are not thick, the slit between them is horizontal, and at the outer corners of the eyes is slightly slanted down. The skin on the cheekbones is thin, round cheeks do not make the face round. The border of the lips is not clearly defined. The lips themselves are usually narrow, but do not appear compressed, and the upper lip often protrudes less than the lower lip. Nordic Englishmen often have a very high vertical upper lip. The groove under the nose is clearly defined and narrow. The ears are relatively small, although the size of the ears varies greatly among all races and the ears of all people grow into old age.

Leather

Skin color in all races is caused by the deposition of pigment. The Nordic and Falian races are least susceptible to this. The Nordic skin color is pinkish-white, the skin color of the Eastern Baltic race is light with a gray-yellow tint.

Only the Nordic race can be called “white” in the proper sense of the word, and even then this will not be entirely correct - only a corpse has completely white skin. Even the whitest skin always has a yellowish tint. Blood shining through the skin turns it pinkish-white. Where the veins are visible, “blue blood” is visible. But such fair skin, even in northwestern Europe, is less common than people think. Moreover, the skin color of a dressed European is not sufficient evidence of his racial properties. Many Europeans, when tanned, become like Egyptians or Indians. Only the skin of the Nordic race is resistant to sun rays: It turns very red, like a burn, but after a few days the redness disappears.

The skin thickness of individual European races was not measured. The skin of the Nordic race is especially delicate and appears to be thin. According to Roman writers, the skin of the Germans was more sensitive to wounds. The delicacy of Nordic leather is also evidenced by its transparency. The expression "blue blood" indicated the racial origin of the nobility. Blush on the cheeks, “blood and milk” - these and similar expressions speak of the Nordic origin of the European ideal of beauty. Even the nipples of men and women of the Nordic race are pink, while those of other European races are brown. Only the Nordic race has truly red lips.

Since in the tropics skin pigmentation is a means of protecting it, the Nordic race is not adapted to life in the tropics. The influence of tropical climate on different European races was shown by the American Woodruff in his book “Medical Ethnology” (1915). He noted the very harmful effect of strong solar radiation on the nervous system of fair-skinned Europeans.

Whether the appearance of freckles is associated with Nordic blood is unknown. Freckles often appear on red-haired people, but, unlike the Nordic race, they have oily skin. But I often observed freckles in people of the Nordic race. Darker areas of skin, unlike other races, are not found in the pure Nordic race.

Hair

In comparison with other races of the Earth, the Nordic (as well as Western and, above all, Dinaric) races should be considered hairier. People of the Nordic race have good hair growth on their heads, men have a beard, but the body hair is weaker.

The color and shape of the hair on the head are signs that distinguish races. In Germany, a phenomenon that has not yet been satisfactorily explained is the darkening of hair in adults aged about 30 years. So only by the hair color of adults can one judge their race.

I have often observed the hair growing on the forehead among Jews. Often it is also among the Dinaric race. This phenomenon does not occur among the Nordic race.

The hair color of the Nordic race is light, with variations from blond hair to yellowish and golden, usually with a more or less obvious reddish tint. Ash hair, more common in eastern Germany and the north Eastern Europe, rather a sign of the East Baltic race. Light color hair influenced the European ideal of beauty. According to the description of the Romans, Germanic children had the same hair color as gray-haired old men.

It used to be argued whether red hair could be considered a Nordic trait. They are often combined with very white and delicate skin. Redheads were seen as a relic of a special race. Their special smell, comparable to that of a goat, was often noted. But they cannot be considered a special race; red hair is especially common in the area of ​​the Nordic race. In eastern Germany and eastern Europe there are generally fewer redheads than in northwestern Europe, i.e. This phenomenon is not typical for the East Baltic race.

Red hair is now considered a phenomenon similar to albinism, since red-haired people, like albinos, are found in all races. Therefore, they talk about erythrism or rutilism and do not consider red hair as a racial characteristic. There are relatively many redheads among the Scots and Jewish half-breeds.

The hair of the Nordic race is less oily than that of other European races. They are smooth or wavy, thin, often “like silk.” Children of the Nordic race have curly hair more often than adults. The features of Nordic hair are well shown in the images of women in many of Rubens's paintings. Nordic hair can be recognized by the ease with which it flutters in the wind. Thin Nordic hair is less durable and breaks off more easily.

The result of crossbreeding can be coarse, often curly (for example, among Jews) blond hair or dark hair with a Nordic structure. The texture of your hair says more about your racial origin than its color. The blond hair of the Eastern Baltic race is thick and coarse.

The beard hair of men of the Nordic race is also light, often more reddish. Indra was depicted with a red beard, like the god of thunder of the ancient Germans, and Emperor Barbarossa is a favorite image of German folklore. The beard hair is curly, like on ancient Greek statues. The shape of the beard has not been studied.

When crossing, even when dark hair on the head, a light or red beard is often preserved - this was noticed by Aristotle.

Eye color

We are talking about the color of the iris; the pupil of all races is black. The conjunctiva of the Nordic race is completely colorless and appears white. In darker European races it is more cloudy or yellowish. The iris of the Nordic race is very light, blue or gray. Babies are usually born with dark blue or dark gray eyes.

There is an opinion that gray eyes are “not Nordic”, that this is a sign of crossing or a sign of the East Baltic race. I do not believe that the Nordic race is characterized only by blue eyes, although among them there are indeed more blue eyes, and among the East Baltic race there are more gray eyes. Gray eyes can be considered a sign of crossing the Nordic race with dark European races, since, according to Virchow, the number of gray eyes increases in Central Europe not only to the east, but also to the south. Gray eyes are more often combined with brown hair than with blond hair. When crossing, it happens that eye color is inherited from the dark race, and eye brightness from the light race. This is how you get light brown and green eyes.

Nordic people often change eye color depending on the lighting and mood. When the light falls from the front, the eyes appear blue, and when the light comes from the side, they appear gray. Their color is somewhere between blue and gray. But, since grey colour- dominant, blue eyes can be considered “more Nordic”.

Dark blue eyes, like those of Jews or Jewish half-breeds, or opaque matte blue eyes are always the eyes of hybrids. They are often found when crossing with the eastern race. Nordic eyes have a luminous color. Paintings often show the refraction of light by a dark ring surrounding the iris.

These properties of Nordic eyes are associated with the special impression they make. Dark eyes They look around, the Nordics look closely. When excited, the look of Nordic eyes becomes “terrible.” This view was attributed to the Germans by Caesar and Tacitus. The contrast of the dark pupil with a light frame, along with the corresponding facial expressions, makes the German’s gaze not only “terrible”, but also “sharp”, as Caesar himself wrote about. This is due to the fact that the pupil dilates when excited. It is to the bright Nordic eyes that excited states (joy, the ecstasy of struggle) give a special shine, they begin to emit light. In the fight against the Germans, Roman soldiers had to get used to their gaze so as not to be afraid of it. Caesar writes about the Gauls that they could not withstand the wild gaze of the Germans. Hagen (The Nibelungenlied) had the same terrible look. This property of the peoples of the Nordic race was attributed to the heroes, which is expressed in the Edda. Only Nordic eyes can cast a terrible look, the eyes of other races in a state of excitement can look sinister, threatening, even poisonous, but only Nordic eyes can express courageous anger. Their usual expression is determination, but the range of feelings they express is large, from gentleness to the strong will of the master.

Gobineau aptly calls the general impression of the features of a Nordic face “somewhat dry.” Especially in middle-aged men, this coldness, rigidity and efficiency of Nordic facial features is striking.

One's belonging to a particular nation can be determined by many factors.

• Here, a person’s appearance, his speech, and even the nationality of his parents can play a role.
• But the main thing is how a person understands himself.
• That is, if someone was born in Tatarstan, but realizes and behaves like a Russian, he will be Russian, and not a Tatar.

How to determine the nationality of women and men by appearance is a serious problem. Unfortunately, now the blood of the average person contains at least two or three nations - this also affects Tatar-Mongol yoke, and Great Patriotic War, and the multinationality of the country. The signs are blurry. But you can try to highlight individual parameters - the shape and position of the eyes, the shape of the body, skull and nose, the color type of the skin, eyes, hair, type of hair growth, and so on. It is quite possible to find summary tables about each nation.

But the question of how to determine the nationality of a child is much more difficult. It depends on what state he is in now. For example, in Russia, nationality is determined solely by the father. As in most other countries. And only in Israel - through the mother. That is, if a child was conceived from a man of any other nationality and a Jewish woman, then he will be a Jew in Israel and have the nationality of the father in his homeland.

How to determine nationality by last name

To correctly determine your nationality by last name, you will have to partially remember the school morphology course. Because the presence of one or another morpheme in a word depends on what language it belongs to.

It is necessary to carry out the following procedure to determine nationality by last name.

• Write it down on a piece of paper and break it down into morphemes.
• Pay attention to the suffix. For example, Ukrainian suffixes include - ko, ochko, enko, ovsk, evsk. Tatar - in, ov, ev.
• Study the root. If at the root of a word there is some kind of business or animal, it is worth looking for what language this word came from. If there are two roots, then in most cases the surname is Slavic.
• If you feel the sound of another language, you need to study each morpheme separately to determine whether it belongs to a particular language.
