Not sure what your point is with that study.

Yes, genes correlate with face shape, in some as-yet-unknown but probably quite complicated relationship. So?

That study asked "individuals" to categorize the faces they gathered from a collection of people into four categories. The summary does not say how many "individuals" were asked to do this, or where they came from. Were those individuals Penn State academics? Representatives from the sample group itself? Who knows. Did their categorizations map to the geographic locations of the people whose faces they were categorizing? It doesn't say.

Nope, I just can't figure out what your point is with this. I asked you for your own personal example, you throw this at me. Why? "I'm not the arbiter here"? Yes, you are the arbiter of what YOU call your tribe. Who else would be??
