All three nationalities include many types of features, and Chinese has the broadest range of all. To say nothing of the fact that Korean groups came over to Japan around 400BC and started spreading through the gene pool.hashihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14388353219014042525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-14711396684286484712014-03-09T00:59:18.939+02:002014-03-09T00:59:18.939+02:00I knew Chinese right away, from the face shape/ton...I knew Chinese right away, from the face shape/tone.

It's a fact that in East Asia cosmetic surgery is very common, and for all we know these samples are skewed by surgically enhanced features in the sample faces used. For example, if one country's samples contained a high proportion of young women from the trendy areas of big cities and another's samples were more evenly chosen from different areas, or even mostly from rural areas, the former's composite will much more closely match the current standard of beauty, simply because they will contain more cosmetic enhancements, even without makeup. That's just one possibility. Another is that the samples chosen simply reflect the personal preferences and biases of the person(s) making the choices. That's two big factors, just off the top of my head, so as I said, this quiz is useless.Sam Suhrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13599826426736183764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-65198406683619175322011-12-07T12:19:54.163+02:002011-12-07T12:19:54.163+02:00This comment has been removed by the author.Sam Suhrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13599826426736183764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-15152610324011195182011-06-02T17:20:23.378+03:002011-06-02T17:20:23.378+03:00i got it right, i judged it on the eyes, koreans h...i got it right, i judged it on the eyes, koreans have virtually no lower eyelid that is visible when they eye is open, chinese are similar but have a bit of a fold underneath the eyelid and finally japanese have eyelids similar to caucasiansAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-15364593649033729882011-05-06T20:02:17.715+03:002011-05-06T20:02:17.715+03:001 Korean

I knew the Japanese woman was Japanese right away because, to be honest, she looks weird. I thought the Chinese woman was Korean because of her cheekbones and slightly more defined facial features. The eyebrows, however, threw me off for a while because they looked so wide apart (on the Chinese woman, whom I assumed to be Korean), but I figured the composite was made up of Asian-Americans, so I figured they'd plucked their eyebrows too much. But now I see there is also the problem of the eyelids being so tight and not having any fat on them, which I think is uncommon among Koreans. The Korean woman I assumed to be Chinese by elimination. But, yes, now that I look between the two, the eyes look much more Korean on the Korean woman, while the Chinese woman's eyes look a weird to me, being a Korean and not having seen that many Chinese people in my daily life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-72352864372494314652010-10-16T16:04:43.167+03:002010-10-16T16:04:43.167+03:00This is all depends on sample of photos, they'...This is all depends on sample of photos, they've obviously used only selective photos to come up with these comparison.

Subjective reasons...<br /><br />The Japanese composite is the most easily recognisable - slightly longer features and seems to have more tightly held muscles around the mouth. The Korean composite has higher cheekbones and a less well-defined bridge to the nose but mostly it's an unconscious recognition by familiarity.<br /><br />Odd that people have picked up on the light Korean skin tone?
