Full tutorial list: [link]


Please read the chart's introduction carefully before asking any questions. IMPORTANT: Mixed types 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. Gûnther) 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 a question.... is there a serious difference between African eyes and Caucasian? I know there's size, depth and spacing difference, but I was meaning in terms of shape... like the difference between Asian and Caucasian have. I can tell just by studying pictures (not including these drawings), that Africans have smaller, narrower eyes than Caucasians, but is there any other difference that would make a person go "*snaps fingers* Look at those eyes, she/he obviously has African in her/him!"

I see what you mean, and intuitively I know there is, but I have no demonstrated fact to offer on the matter, beyond what's already in the guide.

I'm not editing these any more, the book has been out in its final form for a while and I've moved on considerably. But I would be interested in seeing your findings if you come across anything solid.

I have one question: Which African types and curly types are most likely to form natural dreadlocks?

I don't know if there is such a thing as natural dreadlocks. I could be wrong, but I never came across any mention of that.

Apparently, with certain types of hair if it's left unkempt it will tangle up and form natural dreads.

Ohh I really like these tutorials. And your little factoids are very interesting to and make me want to research lots of different things. I really like your naming the skin colors specifically, like ash brown and olive and stuff, although I consider 'white' more sandy than it is literally white.
This tutorial is creative and awesome <3 I'm sure it will help lots of people, and I hope lots of people see it and use it to their advantage so more people create ethnic characters.
