Get all of my human anatomy tutorials in one convenient book or e-book!
Part 1: [link]
Part 3: [link]
Catalogue of human features: [link]
Full tutorial list: [link]


Please read the chart's introduction carefully before asking any questions. IMPORTANT: Mixed types (such as Latinos) are not covered in these guides, SO DON'T ASK. The book version DOES include a discussion of the major mixed types, just to help you get on the right track. The book also has North Chinese as an extra type, and quite a few correction and extra details.

Sorry but I no longer take corrections on these tutorials so please don't bother. I can't accept any correction without cross-checking it with reliable sources, and as this was made in 2006, I no longer have the time or incentive to do that.


SOURCES:
I get frequently asked for the sources I used to gather this research. The nature of the internet is such that every time I have looked up my sources list since I made this guide, 7+ years ago, some of them have disappeared from the 'net, until the list was reduced to a single still functioning link. So I had better explain how it came together. Obviously, there is no one book presenting all this info, or I wouldn't have had to make the guide in the first place. The research was based on hundreds of small sources both off and online (in some cases from direct observation and asking tribespeople how they could tell other tribes apart), most focusing on just one type, or the difference between two types, or even just the beauty standards in one culture or the average height of the inhabitants of a country in the past decade, making it quite useless to list them. Some books I found online, such as The Racial Elements of European History (Hans F. K. Gűnther) and The Races of Europe (Carleton Stevens Coon) provided a framework for more in-depth research and cross-checking, and there was a specialized anthropological forum, DODONA: Human Biodiversity Discussion Forum, now defunct, that contained treasures of articles and photos, as well as frightfully knowledgeable people to whom I could ask direct questions. Sorry therefore that I can't provide a bibliography; the last remaining link of my list that is still active is this one: [link] .

"I have done absolutely no research on a subject BUT I SEE A THING I DON'T LIKE YOU HAVE TO CHANGE THIS I KNOW IT ALL I AM THAT RACE AND I DON'T HAVE THAT THING"
People.

These guides are absolutely amazing. The work you've put in to then is evident and admirable. Wonderful job!
And keep up those sassy responses ;D

@`majnouna While I do appreciate how much detail you put into this as an artistic trying to do accurate portrayals of different groups I must say that I have a feeling that in the hands of most ppl they would use something as relatively innocous as this to justify their stratification of different ethnic groups and how their different from them.Ethnicity is a topic not handled very well by a LOT of ppl unfortunately -_- imo.Personaly I wouldn't go around showing these charts to just anyone although it is pretty cool how much effort you put into this.

That's a flawed reasoning. Ethnic diversity is real. You don't keep reality hidden out of fear of how people would use it, which is what you're suggesting – it's easy to observe in the US how this practice enforces continued, deep ethnic hatred. If this chart was in every classroom in the world from primary grade, racism would vanish in the space of 2 generations.

Ok I see your viewpoint `_` and I'm not denying that ethnic diversity is real even if the differences are pretty subtle and marginal at times to be identified at first glance.While I do now reconsider that this would be taken well by most ppl (thanks to your reply) there are still extermemists out there (like ppl who are secretly KKK members) who would distort such information like this even when regarding groups that aren't too different (ex.Northern and Mediterrean region Europeans)and turn it into something that is audaciously offensive.Don't you think that negative is just as likely to resonate with ppl?.That's more what I mean.

Such people do not wait for something like this to create a distorted view of the world. But the main point is again, must we shape our lives out of fear of what some crazies may do? Hell no. That's like saying women should cover up to be safe from potential rapists. That's hiding from the problem, not working towards solving it.
