23 wrz 2023 · The variations in spatial arrangement, relative size, and shape make the face of each unique. This is different from monozygotic twins that have similar facial features with each other. It is therefore easy to determine ancestry through facial features.
Some eye shapes are immediately recognisable as belonging to a specific ethnic group – Asians, being the most obvious – but eye shape is otherwise not ethnicity-dependent. We can have heavily hooded eyes, deep-set eyes, almond eyes, round eyes, downturned eyes, in any ethnic group, and these shapes tend to change as we age.
There are nine geographic races, each with particular genetic similarities. These geographic races include: Europeans (which include Middle Easterners and Mediterraneans)
21 sty 2021 · These findings demonstrate unambiguously that eyes along with face texture are the two most potent features in giving a face its race. Concerning the eyes, our results demonstrate that the ...

The main difference in eye shape is the way the upper eyelid meets the inner corner of the eye. In many ethnicities, including East Asians, Southeast Asians, Polynesians and Native Americans, there is commonly a slight fold at this point, called an ‘epicanthic fold’.
More generally, our work suggests, in humans, there is little overlap of genetic variants controlling normal eye enlargement during juvenile development and variants causing susceptibility to refractive error and myopia.
