She looks kind of Meshed In Between.

A Purer Sudanid usually are flat and narrow like this chick

Meanwhile the Guinesids(Bottom Pic) are much Wider And Thicker.

I have noticed it with other races.

Let's remove the African Pheno Labels

And just got...Vertical Based Morph Heads vs Round Based Morph Heads


...Irish women versus Samoan Women.....

...Mali Sudanid Structure vs South African Xhosa or Shona Round Head.

..All over the world, Round Heads Pack Wider Frames...

I have Also noticed this with Male Athletes as Well.

Bantus of southern Africa Possess more Round Based Morphs than Sahelian and Upper West Africans...

Hence the reason South African Women, Zimbabwe ect...are known for their immortal thickness

Nigerians and Ghanaians have more Guinesid Types.....than Northern Senegal..and Western Mali....

Hence the reason Nigerians and Ghana Mamiis are known for their Thickness vs the Slim Long Lengthy Frames of the Dakar Fashion Industry.

Even in the United STates.....

Round Headed Women usually always exceed "thick" and because of western Diet morph into these super large...extra fat Beast...

...See "Precious"...LmL

They get bigger true, but sometimes it's more in the breast and tummy and i dun like this type of weight gain, i prefer when it goes in the ass, hips and legs
Re: The Kru People Of Liberia And Cote D'ivoire by Nobody: 6:05am On Jan 04, 2013
Long Heads can stack thickness...don't get me wrong

I just feel Wide Round Heads usually possess the genetics to pack on weight easier and faster.

If i applied this theory to every female i have dated..it continues to ring true

with only the Round Headed women suffering from their own perceived weight problems. lol

The Diversity of Akans between Civ and Ghana Are Interesting...

The Civ Akans seem to have adopted some vertical head morphs along with varied facial feature diversity compared to the Akans of Ghana....

Like you...

You don't have an Asante head....

Even the Akan art shows "round heads"....

You know what art i am referring to of course.

You have a different Morph

I believe these morphs are definitely in line with geographical correlation.

Considering the further you go West...the more Sudanid Phenos become Present.

There is also historical literature of mass euro mixing with the Peoples of Civ.

That could have also played a factor

One thing is for certain...

When looking at a map and generating a "visual mental" sweep, across from west to east of the (or north to south) along the West African Coast....

Civ genetics seem out of place for an individual who isn't good with his studies.....(Civ is Lighter Than Ghana Despite being Closer to the Senegal,Mali and Migration waves.)

The forest regions and Possibly "some" mixing explain for much of that.

Your Head.... kiss

aha yea see like these women u posted, they have big upper body, and small nyansh, i think when a woman has this type of body it's preferable to stay fit

usually when the arms are very thick, the upper body is strong (this is what i have noticed, but i may be wrong)

Yup that's totally correct smiley
For the forest i was making this supposition because people from those dense forest in the west side of CIV have the highest rate of fair skin people.
The vegetation in CIV is very diverse, u see the west of our country used to have the biggest forest in west africa, and the people living there are the Bete, Guere and Dan. The Dan are living in an environment where there are a lot of mountains and forest, it's always rainy there and the climate is slightly different, so i thought in a way this could explain to some extent (not totally) the different shades of the people. smiley

aa kk i c, but u were saying also that there are some sources that mention mass euro mixes in CIV, personally i think there was some mixing in the past but to the same extent as in other west african countries no I am very curious about it, can u tell me where u saw these information please?

From what i know, the French Mixed in with many of the Civ Groups. Compared to Senegal where it was very little Mixing.

Based on some of the Phenotypes and the stark differences in certain features compared to their Brothers of the East. The Tales might be Plausible.

I read it somewhere on the web.
Re: The Kru People Of Liberia And Cote D'ivoire by Nobody: 2:46am On Jan 06, 2013
Based on what you know...What is your Opinion?

Do you feel the Physical Morphs and Diverse Adaptation is out of Place when compared to your Sister Nation of the East?

If i were to guess, i would assume the dense forest regions contribute to the skin tone variance and the Sahel Down Migrations contributed to the Cranio/Jaw Morphs

But if i was also to be Honest...Civ does appear to be the closet thing to New World Blacks, With the Exception of Biafra

uumh kk, i am gonna try to look into it
I thought the Akan from CIV look somewhat different cuz of mixing, but not with euro tho
The Baoule especially have intermixed with the Gouro, Senoufo and Mandinka, and the ones in the south have been intermixing with each others
There were alliances among ethnic group (these alliances still exist) that favored some mixing as well.
Example of Alliances:
Attie (South Akan)-Dida (Kru)
Baoule (Central Akan)- Gouro (South Mande) ...mixing of these 2 gave birth to the Yaoure ethnic group
Senoufo (Gur) - Foula
Gouro - Foula
....

yea i have noticed too that ressemblance with NWB is slightly more recurrent there especially with the Bhete ethnic group..., but see NWB have mixed african backgrounds as well, so that may explain it i think

No, i talked about mixes, inter-ethnic mixes, but not euro mixes and I don't know if mixing happened as much with Kru groups, as it did with the Senoufo and the Baoule for example.
I have seen a few sources claiming that the Kru and Ijaws were originally the same, however i do not know seriously. A few sources claim different origins for them. I am going to check the website u provided, thanx kiss
