Mongoloid eyes slant like this \/ His eyes slant, but in a distinctly Europoid direction: /\. A question: are there ever cases where European eyes slant like this: \/? I am curious because what you are saying seems to make sense and it could perhaps clarify whether certain supposed Europids have a noticeable Mongoloid element.

A question: are there ever cases where European eyes slant like this: \/? Not that I know of. Oblique (\/ axis ) eyes are usually pretty solid evidence of Mongoloid admixture. Of course, the origin of this admixture, and it's quantity are debatable, depending upon the individual.

What's Mongoloid about him? I should have elaborated furthur to say I thought that his eyes are superficially mongoloid, whether they slant upwards, downwards or sideways is of no consequence. Asian eyes slanting in an opposite direction to european eyes is an urban myth. whether he does have mongoloid admixture is impossible to tell from one picture, but the closeup kindly provided by Galvez does show a pronouced puffed up and folded upper eyelid. He may not have slept the night before or the flash bulb in the camera was too bright but it is there. Does it mean he is asian? no, Is he mixed race? no. Its a fact that many people in the east, north east and central Europe have superficial mongoloid phonotypes to differing degrees. this is especially the case in the baltic. This does not mean that russians, finno ugrics and uralics are of asian origin. This site shows the spread of the tat c chromosome and shows some good phenotype examples. Notice the spread of this chromosome in the maps provided. www.angeltowns.com/members/racialreal/tatc.html
