I noticed that almost all Dinarics have a characteristic shadow around the eyes and "fat" inferior eyelids.... Is that right? Is that a feature of this sub-race or it was just an impression?  |

I got a bad translation...
I tried to translate "olheira" and i got "overseer" as result... but i noticed now, that if i tranlsate "olheiro" (wich has a totally diferent meaning and wich "olheira" can be it's feminine in portuguese) i get the same result...
Some portuguese speaker can translate it for me???
"Olheira" ;D
Alex, Necronomicom???

Yuh! Dinarics are just like ants. There are Overseer Dinarics, Worker Dinarics, Warrior Dinarics, Drone Dinarics and of course the Queen Dinaric. All Dinaric people share one brain too  |

But hey, let's not sidetrack the original question, I think this whole shadow around the eyes question is interesting. I've always thought that was more like a "Slavic" trait, before I got into anthropology seriously. Some people in my family have shadows under their eyes, including me and my mother, to some extent. I hate it myself, but I've heard nice comments about it too, people thinking that I have put eyeshadow all over my eyes. I think it's because it doesn't look dark, but a middle lilac color, and it's a very popular eyeshadow tone itself. My aunt, who's a doctor had explained this trait as probably due to having a thinner skin then most people, especially on the face. My skin is very thin and my veins are pretty visible under light, and on my face it gets really sensitive too. As far as I know coloring around the eyes is caused by the veins around this area being closer to the surface and getting even more visible if your skin has transparent quality. As for my lower eyelids, you can probably tell from most photos that they sort of have a swollen look to them. That's not something I'm crazy about either  but now I'm curious if it's about a certain sub-type. |

"Olheiras" are the "shadows" one gets below the eyes after a night without much sleep. Some people, like Silvester Stallone have permanent "olheiras", which is usually considered very unattractive. |

Like the meaning of " durex"(condom in Portugal, transparent adhesive in Brazil) there... ;D |
