Abstract

Objective To Compare and discuss head-face morphological traits between Southern and Northern Chinese Han. Method From 2009 to 2012, we measured northern Han head-face anthropometry indices of 11 732 cases (male 5840, female 5892) and made statistical tests of differences between the northern Han and the southern Han. Results Compared with the southern Han, northern Han head was wider and higher, bigonial breadth was wider, the distance between the two eyes was bigger, the surface was higher, nose was higher, nose and lips distance was larger, ear was big, but the head was shorter, surface was narrower, nose was shorter, nasal was narrower, and lips were thinner. Compared with the southern Han, the northern Han male head was more round, higher and narrower, surface was narrower, and nasal was more broad. The northern female was the same except nasal. Female nasal was narrower. Conclusion Genetic factors are the main factors that affect the formation of head-face.
