What nationality is the big nose? What nationality has a snub nose?

What is the “Russian type of appearance”? The answer to this question is not as simple as it seems. For example, what shape of nose does a Russian person have? There is more than one option here.

The myth about the snub nose of Russians
It is traditionally believed that a typical Russian nose is upturned (snub-nosed) or “potato-shaped”. This, in theory, is how Russians should differ from other Europeans.
Since the 17th century, anthropologists have tried to classify the world's population by race, based on the similarity of external features.
Let us remember the Nordic theory, which was so attractive to the ideologists of Nazism. Its ancestor is considered to be the Russian-French anthropologist Joseph Deniker, who argued that representatives of the “Nordic race” are characterized by blond hair, blue and green color eye, straight nose, oblong skull and pink skin.
According to him, this “race” is distributed throughout Northern Europe, northwestern Russia and the western part of the Baltic states. In turn, the Swedish anatomist Christian Schreiner wrote that this Caucasian type is most common in the central part of Scandinavia.
The sub-Nordic race, according to Deniker, is distinguished by a square face shape and an upturned nose. This includes the peoples of the eastern Baltic and northern Germany. Finally, representatives of the Oriental race are characterized by light golden or straw-yellow hair, a square face, blue or grey eyes and an upturned nose. It includes mainly Eastern Slavs and Finns.

So, in the descriptions of the “Nordic subrace” a straight nose shape appears. Whereas for Eastern European peoples, including Russians, it seems that “snub nose” is characteristic.
Meanwhile, Soviet anthropologist V.V. Bunak, in his book “The Origin and Ethnic History of the Russian People,” summing up the results of many years of scientific research, writes that in 75% of cases Russians have straight noses, while throughout Europe this number is no more than 70%. Only 16% of Russians have a convex nose, and only 10% have a concave nose.
Snub noses are generally not typical for the Eastern Slavs. Only 7% of Russians have an upturned nose. There are much more snub-nosed individuals among the Germans - more than 25%.

Moreover: Russians are one of the most “purely European” peoples. This was proven by joint research by Russian, British and Estonian geneticists, the results of which were published in The American Journal of Human Genetics.
Experts came to the conclusion that the Russian ethnic group, from a genetic point of view, consists of two parts. The first is the indigenous population of Southern and Central Russia, which reveals genetic kinship with other Slavic peoples.
The second is the population of the North, which reveals kinship with the Finno-Ugric peoples. But the connection with the Mongoloids is practically not visible. That is, we are pure Europeans.

Anthropological types of Russian appearance
In addition, there is no single concept of “Russian anthropological type.” Natives of different areas, even those with Russian roots, have slightly different appearances.
Thus, anthropologists identify several types of Russian appearance. For example, representatives of the Western Upper Volga or Klyazma type have straight noses, while representatives of the Arkhangelsk type have wide noses. Representatives of the so-called Ryazan type have straight or small snub noses. Representatives of the eastern Upper Volga type are less likely than others to have a concave nasal bridge.

Percentage
According to RAE data for 1955-1959, in 63.1% of cases Russians have a medium-wide nose, in 8.7% - a concave nasal bridge, in 16.3% - a convex one, and in 75% - a straight one. A raised base and raised nasal tip occur in 27.9% and 27.1% of cases, respectively.
Measurements of the shape of the nose, as reported by Professor I.P. Pantyukhov, summarizing the results of anthropological research, showed that Russians living in the Volga basin have generally larger noses than in the west and south of Russia. Among residents of the Vladimir region, 92% have straight noses, 5% have humped noses, and 3% have upturned noses. In the central regions of Russia, a straight nose shape is less common. There you often come across large, pear-shaped noses, as well as long noses - up to 55-56 mm.
In the south-eastern regions of Russia, flattened “Mongoloid” noses are more common, in the north-west - narrow and long. And finally, in various regions of Russia, from 5 to 20% of humpbacked and convex noses are found.
So scientific research disproves some common myths about the “typically Russian” nose shape.

Figure

People of the Nordic race are tall and slender. The average height of adult men is 1.75-1.76 m, often reaching 1.90 m. And this is not due to the excessive length of the legs, as, for example, among blacks from the upper Nile. In terms of the proportion of the length of the legs to the entire length of the body, this race occupies just a middle position between the short-legged Mongoloids and some tall tropical tribes. The height of the seat is approximately 52-53% of the height of the body.

Growth in people of the Nordic race lasts the longest; it can be significant even in the period between 20 and 25 years. In southern Italy it ends earlier than in northern Italy; in Baden it ends less during this period than in Sweden. A relationship has been established between the achievement of sexual maturity and the completion of growth. Since people of the Nordic race have a longer growth period, puberty occurs later.

Men of the Nordic race, in addition to being tall, are distinguished by wide shoulders and narrow hips. The slenderness of male hips is emphasized by a feature very characteristic of the Nordic race, the so-called. the antique pelvic fold, a muscular thickening running from the spinal ridge through the thigh forward and down. Ancient Greek sculptors liked to emphasize this racial feature. A special thickening of the upper part of the kneecap is also present in Europe, mainly among the Nordic race.

Nordic women are also distinguished by their racial slenderness, despite their feminine body shapes. Here the effect of the so-called false thinness: Nordic women in clothing appear thin despite their developed female forms.

Slimness is manifested in the shape of all parts of the body: neck, arms, legs, hips. The ratio of arm length to body length is the same as in the case of leg length: the arms of people of the Nordic race are not as short as those of Mongoloids and not as long as those of Negroids. The arm span of people of the Nordic race is equal to 94-97% of body length. Knoop established these figures in a study of the Nordic population of Lower Saxony; according to his data, the longer the head, the more this figure approaches 94.

The artist of people of the Nordic race is struck by the freedom inherent in every part of the body, every muscle, as if they obey their own special laws of formation while maintaining a harmonious whole.

Scull

The shape of the skull is as slender as the body. People of the Nordic race have a long skull and a narrow face. The average cranial index is about 74 (on the head of a living person this corresponds to the figure 75-75.5). The width of the Nordic head is related to its length as 3:4. Many researchers bring the longitudinal-transverse index for living representatives of the Nordic race to 77.9, Deniker even to 79. (While Kollman takes the cranial index of the Nordic race as the average value as 71.5, Eugen Fischer - 76-79.) I believe , that heads or skulls with an index up to 79 can be considered Nordic if they have a convex back of the head, characteristic of the Nordic race. It is likely that the width of the head and skull of the Nordic race varies over a larger range than that limited by an index of less than 75. In any case, the dolichocephaly of the Nordic race is closer to mesocephaly than the pronounced dolichocephaly of the Negroes or Eskimos.

The width of the Nordic face is 10:9 to the length, but a ratio of 10:10 is also common. We can say that the facial index of the Nordic race is above 90. Long heads - combined with narrow faces, make the head shape such that it can be enclosed in a rectangle. This shape is striking among Nordic people with short hair or bald, especially when turning the head. If the round head does not change shape when turning - the ball looks the same from all sides - then when turning the Nordic head, two long side planes are especially striking. If we divide the side view of the head into two sections, one in front and the other behind the ears, we see that the Nordic head develops in length mainly behind the ears. The back of the head, as already mentioned, is convex. If a long-headed person is placed against a wall, the back of his head will touch it, but with a round-headed person there will be a gap between the back of his head and the wall.

The Nordic skull is distinguished by a relatively low height of the area behind the ears, so we can talk about the flat shape of this skull (in children, however, this feature is not expressed). The Nordic (and Dinaric) races are characterized by a strongly protruding occipital protuberance. A purely Nordic feature is the process of the temporal bone. If the area behind the ears in other European races is relatively flat, in the Nordic race a noticeable elevation can be felt there.

The features of a Nordic face in profile are clearly pronounced. The forehead is sloping back, the eyes are deep-set, the nose is more or less prominent. The jaws and teeth are located almost vertically. The chin protrudes especially sharply. The presence of three protruding parts gives the impression of aggressiveness. When an artist wants to express in the facial features the qualities of a leader, courage, willpower, he always draws a more or less Nordic (or Nordic-Dinaric or Nordic-Falian) head.

From the front, attention is drawn to a narrow forehead, slightly arched eyebrows, a narrow bridge of the nose, and a narrow, angular chin. The head is narrowed at the temples, as if it were squeezed on both sides in a vice.

The shapes of individual bones of the skull and soft parts of the face also contribute to this general impression. The forehead running back is combined with noticeable brow ridges and glabella (thickening above the bridge of the nose). These signs are less pronounced in women and young people. The eye sockets have the shape of an oblong ellipse or quadrangle.

A very important facial feature is the cheekbones. Among the Nordic race they are not very noticeable, because they are turned to the side and located almost vertically.

Individual races differ in the shape of their nose. The Nordic race has a narrow nose, starting from the bridge of the nose, so that there is often no visible border between it and the forehead (“Greek nose”). In profile it is sometimes straight, sometimes curved outward. There are also concave noses and noses that curve slightly outward in the lower third (a common form in Sweden). If the Nordic nose is curved, it usually describes a smooth arc. It is more of a hooked or hawk-like nose than an aquiline (curved at the top) like that of the Dinaric race. The ratio of the length (height) of the nose compared to other parts of the face in the Nordic (and Dinaric) races is greatest, in the Western race it is smallest, and in the Eastern and Eastern Baltic races it is smallest. The nostrils are located at an acute angle. The Nordic nose develops from a child's snub nose by age 25. Women of all races have wider noses. The Nordic race also has a nose shape that looks straight in profile, but slightly wavy. The strongly protruding nose of people of the Nordic race, such as that of the Norwegian polar explorer Amundsen, is usually and especially narrow.

The narrowness of the Nordic face is due to the greater curvature of the cornea of the eyes, the narrowness of the jaws and the close arrangement of the teeth, with the fangs located at an angle. A purely Nordic feature - large and long upper front incisors.

Soft parts of the face. These parts do not blur the impression of a narrow face. Skin covering The face has a uniform thickness, the eyelids are not thick, the slit between them is horizontal, and at the outer corners of the eyes it is slightly slanted down. The skin on the cheekbones is thin, round cheeks do not make the face round. The border of the lips is not clearly defined. The lips themselves are usually narrow, but do not appear compressed, and the upper lip often protrudes less than the lower lip. Nordic Englishmen often have a very high vertical upper lip. The groove under the nose is clearly defined and narrow. The ears are relatively small, although the size of the ears varies greatly among all races and the ears of all people grow into old age.

Leather

Skin color in all races is caused by the deposition of pigment. The Nordic and Falian races are least susceptible to this. The Nordic skin color is pinkish-white, the skin color of the Eastern Baltic race is light with a gray-yellow tint.

Only the Nordic race can be called “white” in the proper sense of the word, and even then this will not be entirely correct - only a corpse has completely white skin. Even the whitest skin always has a yellowish tint. Blood shining through the skin turns it pinkish-white. Where the veins are visible, “blue blood” is visible. But such fair skin, even in northwestern Europe, is less common than people think. Moreover, the skin color of a dressed European is not sufficient evidence of his racial properties. Many Europeans, when tanned, become like Egyptians or Indians. Only the skin of the Nordic race is resistant to sun rays: It turns very red, like a burn, but after a few days the redness disappears.

The skin thickness of individual European races was not measured. The skin of the Nordic race is especially delicate and appears to be thin. According to Roman writers, the skin of the Germans was more sensitive to wounds. The delicacy of Nordic leather is also evidenced by its transparency. The expression "blue blood" indicated the racial origin of the nobility. Blush on the cheeks, “blood and milk” - these and similar expressions speak of the Nordic origin of the European ideal of beauty. Even the nipples of men and women of the Nordic race are pink, while those of other European races are brown. Only the Nordic race has truly red lips.

Since in the tropics skin pigmentation is a means of protecting it, the Nordic race is not adapted to life in the tropics. Influence tropical climate the American Woodruff showed different European races in his book “Medical Ethnology” (1915). He noted the very harmful effect of strong solar radiation on nervous system light Europeans.

Whether the appearance of freckles is associated with Nordic blood is unknown. Freckles often appear on red-haired people, but, unlike the Nordic race, they have oily skin. But I often observed freckles in people of the Nordic race. Darker areas of skin, unlike other races, are not found in the pure Nordic race.

Hair

In comparison with other races of the Earth, the Nordic (as well as Western and, above all, Dinaric) races should be considered more hairy. People of the Nordic race have good hair growth on their heads, men have a beard, but their body hair is weaker.

The color and shape of the hair on the head are signs that distinguish races. In Germany, a phenomenon that has not yet been satisfactorily explained is the darkening of hair in adults aged about 30 years. So only by the hair color of adults can one judge their race.

I have often observed the hair growing on the forehead among Jews. Often it is also among the Dinaric race. This phenomenon does not occur among the Nordic race.

The hair color of the Nordic race is light, with variations from blond hair to yellowish and golden, usually with a more or less obvious reddish tint. Ash hair, more common in eastern Germany and northeastern Europe, is more likely a sign of the East Baltic race. Blonde hair color influenced the European ideal of beauty. According to the description of the Romans, Germanic children had the same hair color as gray-haired old men.

It used to be argued whether red hair could be considered a Nordic trait. They are often combined with very white and delicate skin. Redheads were seen as a relic of a special race. Their special smell, comparable to that of a goat, was often noted. But they cannot be considered a special race; red hair is especially common in the area of the Nordic race. In eastern Germany and eastern Europe there are generally fewer redheads than in northwestern Europe, i.e. This phenomenon is not typical for the East Baltic race.

Red hair is now considered a phenomenon similar to albinism, since red-haired people, like albinos, are found in all races. Therefore, they talk about erythrism or rutilism and do not consider red hair as a racial characteristic. There are relatively many redheads among the Scots and Jewish half-breeds.

The hair of the Nordic race is less oily than that of other European races. They are smooth or wavy, thin, often “like silk.” Curly hair are more common in children of the Nordic race than in adults. The features of Nordic hair are well shown in the images of women in many of Rubens's paintings. Nordic hair can be recognized by the ease with which it flutters in the wind. Thin Nordic hair is less durable and breaks off more easily.

The result of crossbreeding can be coarse, often curly (for example, among Jews) blond hair or dark hair with Nordic structure. The texture of your hair says more about your racial origin than its color. The blond hair of the Eastern Baltic race is thick and coarse.

The beard hair of men of the Nordic race is also light, often more reddish. Indra was depicted with a red beard, like the god of thunder of the ancient Germans, and Emperor Barbarossa is a favorite image of German folklore. The beard hair is curly, like on ancient Greek statues. The shape of the beard has not been studied.

When crossing, even with dark hair on the head, a light or red beard is often preserved - this was noted by Aristotle.

Eye color

We are talking about the color of the iris; the pupil of all races is black. The conjunctiva of the Nordic race is completely colorless and appears white. In darker European races it is more cloudy or yellowish. The iris of the Nordic race is very light, blue or gray. Babies are usually born with dark blue or dark gray eyes.

There is an opinion that gray eyes are “not Nordic”, that this is a sign of crossing or a sign of the East Baltic race. I do not believe that the Nordic race is characterized only by blue eyes, although among them there are indeed more blue eyes, and among the East Baltic race there are more gray eyes. Gray eyes can be considered a sign of crossing the Nordic race with dark European races, since, according to Virchow, the number of gray eyes increases in Central Europe not only to the east, but also to the south. Gray eyes are more often combined with brown hair than with blond hair. When crossing, it happens that eye color is inherited from the dark race, and eye brightness from the light race. This is how you get light brown and green eyes.

Nordic people often change eye color depending on the lighting and mood. When the light falls from the front, the eyes appear blue, and when the light comes from the side, they appear gray. Their color is somewhere between blue and gray. But, since grey colour- dominant, blue eyes can be considered “more Nordic”.

Dark blue eyes, like those of Jews or Jewish half-breeds, or opaque matte blue eyes are always the eyes of hybrids. They are often found when crossing with the eastern race. Nordic eyes have a luminous color. Paintings often show the refraction of light by a dark ring surrounding the iris.

These properties of Nordic eyes are associated with the special impression they make. Dark eyes look around, Nordic eyes take a closer look. When excited, the look of Nordic eyes becomes “terrible.” This view was attributed to the Germans by Caesar and Tacitus. The contrast of the dark pupil with a light frame, along with the corresponding facial expressions, makes the German’s gaze not only “terrible”, but also “sharp”, as Caesar wrote about. This is due to the fact that the pupil dilates when excited. It is to the bright Nordic eyes that excited states (joy, the ecstasy of struggle) give a special shine; they begin to emit light. In the fight against the Germans, Roman soldiers had to get used to their gaze so as not to be afraid of it. Caesar writes about the Gauls that they could not withstand the wild gaze of the Germans. Hagen (The Nibelungenlied) had the same terrible look. This property of the peoples of the Nordic race was attributed to the heroes, which is expressed in the Edda. Only Nordic eyes can cast a terrible look, the eyes of other races in a state of excitement can look sinister, threatening, even poisonous, but only Nordic eyes can express courageous anger. Their usual expression is determination, but the range of feelings they express is large, from gentleness to the strong will of the master.

Gobineau aptly calls the general impression of the features of a Nordic face “somewhat dry.” Especially in middle-aged men, this coldness, rigidity and efficiency of Nordic facial features is striking.

Every nationality has features appearance, character, lifestyle. They tell them who a person is: Russian, Negro, Chinese, Jew. Representatives of the latter nation have rich history and cultural heritage live in many countries around the world. To identify a Jew, a description of what he looks like, knowledge of the peculiarities of his mentality and way of life will be useful.

How to distinguish a Jew: characteristic features

There are known ways to determine and recognize a person’s belonging to the nation in question. Easy - ask about it. Jews are often proud of their nationality and do not hide their origin. A person’s last name and even his character can tell about this. Another method for determining Jewish affiliation is recognizing a nation based on its appearance.

Head shape

To establish a person’s nationality, it is advisable to pay attention to the skull and face type.

The main sign of a Jew is the asymmetry of the head, in contrast to the Slavic-Russian, who has a clearly defined oval shape. For the latter, this creates a feeling of a secure, strong fit.

Jews often have an elongated head, the oval of the face is elongated, as in the photo of actor Nicolas Cage.

Asymmetry determines the types of skulls that Jews have, in addition to elongated: pear-shaped, round, compressed. The sloping back of the head is characteristic, which can be seen in the photo of the cellist, pianist and conductor Mstislav Rostropovich.

In this case, the person's profile clearly shows a flat area slightly sloping backwards.

It is not uncommon for a Jew to have a round head, but it is pressed into the shoulders due to the short neck. The photo shows comedian Mikhail Zhvanetsky.

This feature is often combined with short stature and excess weight of a person.

Another characteristic of the shape of a Jew’s head is the sloping forehead, visually tilted back. Yuri Nikulin's photograph shows this anthropological feature.

Nose

The way to determine nationality by appearance is to pay attention to a person’s nose. There are varieties of typical Jewish noses: wide, drop-shaped, elongated.

The famous “shnobel” is curved at the base, reminiscent of a hook, while the wings are raised. This shape forms the number 6, which is why in anthropology the nose is called the “Jewish six.”

The sign can be seen in the photo of actor Adrien Brody.

Among the Nazis in Germany, this characteristic of the nose was considered the main way to recognize Semitic appearance. In German schools, special classes were held where children were told the signs of the Jewish nation.

However, this type of nose is also found among Russians (in Gogol, Nekrasov), so one can judge nationality only by one external features do not do it.

Jews are characterized by an elongated thin nose, the tip of which extends far down beyond the line of the wings, which differs from the classical shape of the Slavs. The sign is clearly visible in the photo of musician Leonid Agutin.

The Jew Zinovy Gerdt has a drop nose. This shape is characterized by a wide tip and elongation downwards.

The Jewish nose, turned up above the edge of the nostrils, is shown in the photo of actor Alexei Batalov.

Eyes

You can tell that a person belongs to Jewish nationality by looking at his eyes. Characteristic feature their bulge stands out, as in the photo of businessman Roman Abramovich.

When closing the eyes, the heavy eyelids are represented as part of a ball - this is the way the Germans identified Jews. They were also distinguished by the piercing gaze of a “lying man.” The signs were briefly and clearly listed in the German-sounding manual for children “Der Giftpilz”, created by Julius Streicher.

It is believed that Jews have poor eyesight: they are more likely than other peoples to suffer from color blindness and wear glasses.

Characterized by close proximity of the eyes, congenital strabismus is possible.

The color is predominantly dark, but there are also other shades, such as blue. There are blue-eyed brunettes among Jews.

Ears

A clear sign of Jewish nationality is a weakly defined, fused earlobe.

The shape of the shell is different, the contours of the lower half are often asymmetrical to the upper.

The Slavic ear is pressed to the side of the head with the middle. The Jewish one is fused with the lower and upper regions, as can be seen in the photograph of Vladimir Zhirinovsky.

Sometimes it seems that the shells on the bottom extend almost from the neck; they are called “saiga ears.”

Hair and beard

Among the representatives of the nation there is a variety of hair shades: from light to black. Characterized by curly, wavy strands. Jewish nationality is characterized by dark hair color: from chestnut to black.

However, blondes are not uncommon. There are more fair-haired people among Ashkenazim (German-speaking European Jews) than among other types.

Redheads are also possible, mainly Polish Jews and representatives of the nation in Russia.

An element of the hairstyle is sidelocks - grown strands at the temples. They are optional, but along with a beard and sideburns, they are considered a custom and tradition of Jewish culture.

If a person is bald, false strands attached to the headdress are used as sidelocks.

Mouth

A peculiarity of the structure of the mouth of Jews is the excessive exposure of the gums when smiling, like Andrei Makarevich.

Mobility of the lips and their asymmetry during conversation are noted.

Representatives of the nation are characterized by uneven dentition. In comparison with the Slavs, who have dense teeth, Jews have asymmetry of teeth, they are somewhat rare, as in the photo of Evgeny Evstigneev.

Last name and first name

The way to find out if there are Jewish roots is to analyze the person's last name and first name. However, you should not use the method as a fundamental one.

Characteristic endings of Jewish surnames:

on “-man” (Liberman, Guzman);
on “-er” (Stiller, Posner);
on “-ts” (Katz, Schatz);
with “-on” (Gordon, Kobzon);
on “-ik” (Yarmolnik, Oleinik);
with “-iy” (Vishnevsky, Razumovsky).

But their carriers are people of different origins. Endings similar to Slavic ones are possible (Soloviev). The origin of the Jewish surname is known from male and female names (Abramovich, Yakubovich, Rubinchik).

Leaving Poland, many Jews changed their surname, depending on where they were from - Vysotsky (Vysotsk village), Dneprovsky, Nevsky and so on.

There is great diversity in names. True Jewish ones (Daniil, Lev, Ilya, Yakov, Dina, Sofia) are often worn by representatives of Russian nationality.

What does a Jewish woman look like?

Jewish girls are confused with representatives of other nations, Caucasian or Mediterranean.

The distinctive features are similar to those of men, but are milder.

A purebred Jewish woman of middle and old age is usually presented as a woman with outstanding forms, in a loud voice and the name Rozochka, Sarochka and so on.

The representative of the nation is considered a caring wife and a reverent mother, overly protective of her children. However, they note the negligence of women in everyday life, clothing and appearance, specific body odor. The rude manners of young and old Jewish women, who are characterized by loudness, are distinguished. Due to carelessness, they often smell of tobacco and sweat.

Face

The portrait of a Jewish woman, like a man, has characteristic national features. The hair is mostly dark. The nose is large, elongated or with a hump, plump lips.

Worthy of attention beautiful eyes: slightly convex, bright and expressive.

They display eternal sadness, anxiety and worry.

Cheeks are sometimes chubby, which has been noted since childhood and persists in young girls and boys. Some sources cite excessive overfeeding of children and overprotection as the cause.

Jewish traditions include covering one's hair in public or in the presence of a male stranger.

However, today the custom is rarely observed, only in strictly orthodox circles.

Figure

A genetic feature of the body structure is considered to be wide hips, narrow shoulders, and full legs.

Jewish women predominantly have curvaceous and sensual figures, but there are also opposite types of figures.

Such women are characterized by narrow bones, dark complexion, and subtle oriental beauty.

With age, the figure often deteriorates; overly fat Jewish women are a common phenomenon. Among the reasons are childbirth, since it is considered normal for a family to have 4-5 children, which is reflected in the appearance of the body.

Circumcision

A specific way to check Jewishness is to establish the integrity of the foreskin of the male genital organ.

In fact, circumcision is not only a Jewish rite, but also a Muslim one. The difference is that in the latter case the foreskin is absent. Among the Jews, it was recommended to do the procedure partially, the area was cut off only from above.

It is believed that the manipulations among the Jews caused the gradual formation of an upward bend in the genital organ and its acquisition of a hook-shaped appearance.

Features and rules of life

The complex history of the Jews explains why they did not have their own state for so long, which left an imprint on their development and way of life. In ancient times, they were under the yoke of the Egyptians, located on land under their control. After the capture of Judea by Rome, the Jews were finally expelled by the Latin pagans and forced to spread throughout the world, beginning a two-thousand-year wandering.

The nation, which existed for more than 2 thousand years without its own state, is now spread almost everywhere. The place where most of its representatives live is Israel (43%), 39% is in the United States of America, the remaining share is in other states. Currently, the number of Jews living on earth is 16.5 million.

The question of what race the Jews belong to is complex, since they combined the features of various nations that came into contact with them, which was also reflected in the external signs of the nation. According to their anthropological type, they are classified as Caucasians of the Indo-Mediterranean race.

The nation includes half-breeds (mixing with Russians, Poles and Poles, and so on), while the true representative is considered to be a person with Jewish roots on his mother’s side. To find out if they exist, you can contact a special service that will search the archives and determine the relationship. To receive an inheritance, move to Israel, join the community, and so on, they must prove the presence of Jews in the family up to the third generation (maximum grandparents).

The peculiar behavior of representatives of a nation is a sign of belonging to it. They highlight such qualities of Jews as self-confidence, self-esteem, and pride. Psychology unites them into the concept of “chutzpah.” Jews are bad and dangerous according to the public, who consider them greedy, stingy, selfish, and rude.

An interesting fact is how Jews recognize each other. They call the sign “sorrow in the eyes.” A happy look is not typical for them.

Jews are the only people who managed to maintain their isolation, culture, and religion, despite their terrible history. Perhaps they achieved this by considering themselves better than others, living by established rules, which is why they do not attract others into their community.

However, by going through the rite of conversion, you can become a Jew even if you are not a Jew. This requires the consent of 3 rabbis, memorizing 613 commandments, learning the religious canon, taking an oath, circumcision is indicated for men.

The rules that real Jews observe are described in the book of the Torah: what they eat and drink (kosher food and drinks), use separate utensils when they are not working (on Shabbat), and so on.

Jewish blood is revealed by the characteristics of the voice timbre: high in men and low in middle-aged and older women. At the end of sentences there is a characteristic increase in tone. Signs include a senile, rattling voice that persists from childhood to the end of life. However, this feature does not prevent Jews from singing and amaze others with their talent. An example of this is Tamara Gverdtsiteli.

An important feature is the fact that Jews live long. The average life expectancy is 82 years. The reasons are developed medicine and favorable social conditions. However, the representatives of the nation themselves condition longevity on warm friendly relations, love and harmony in the family.

Jews are considered a cunning and quick-witted people. Stories and anecdotes about their intelligence and ingenuity are written and told everywhere. This also explains why the 3rd floor is called Jewish. It is convenient in terms of life: it does not rise high, it is located away from the roof. The term appeared in the USSR and is relevant for five-story buildings. To some extent, it reveals the essence of Jewishness.

Representatives of the nation are distinguished by their extraordinary intelligence and creative abilities; among them there are politicians, musicians, actors, and so on.

This determines the public opinion that a terry Jew cannot be deceived and cannot be defeated. The photo shows a young but already famous journalist and political scientist Fridrikhson Nadana Aleksandrovna.

Relations between Russians and Jews were characterized by mutual dislike; the former contemptuously called the latter Jews. However, now there is no tension between representatives of the nation, and there is a trend for the better.

Common Misconceptions

There are rumors, conjectures, and assumptions about the Jewish nation. However, not all of them are true.

Only someone born Jewish can become a Jew.. The statement is erroneous, since a non-Jew, having undergone the rite of conversion, is recognized as a member of the community.
Representatives of the nation have a huge nose, plump lips and black eyes. In fact, there are fair-haired or red-haired Jews with thin noses.
An indirect sign of Jews is that they burr. This is due to the guttural pronunciation of the letter “r”, which is why it is perceived as a speech defect. However, most of them speak correctly and clearly, and burring is characteristic of people of other nationalities.
The Jews crucified Jesus Christ. The Romans did this. The Jews denounced the son of God, and also did not prevent the execution.
Jewish women have the largest breasts. The statement is due to the characteristics of women’s figures, but according to research, the primacy belongs to residents of Great Britain.
Jews have the longest nose. However, more outstanding dimensions of the olfactory organ were recorded among the Turks.
Jewish language Yiddish. Their languages are Hebrew and Aramaic. Yiddish is a form of dialect language characteristic of Ashkenazim.

Jews are a nation whose roots go back to the ancient kingdoms of Judah and Israel. The people, who existed without their own state for more than two thousand years, are today scattered across many countries of the world.

Thus, according to official data, 43% of Jews live in Israel, 39% in the USA, and the rest in various parts of the world. Many of them live very close to us. Do you know how to recognize a Jew among Russians, Germans, Caucasians and other peoples of the world? What features of appearance and character distinguish this ancient and mysterious nation?

Ask

So, how to recognize a Jew? Ask him about it directly. Most Jews are proud of who they are and do not hide their origins. Many half-breeds do not even ask themselves which half to prefer: Jewish or Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian... And even a drop of blood is priceless for them. This, by the way, is a normal human reaction. After all, Jews are an ancient people with a rich history and cultural characteristics. So why not be proud of it? Ask them yourself.

But there are cases when people try to hide their Jewish origin. And that's not normal. For example, during the distant years of perestroika, TV presenter Lyubimov was directly asked about this. And the showman live swore in front of the whole country that neither he nor his parents were Jews. Characteristic features, however, were present both in his appearance and behavior. And the surname spoke for itself: Lyubimov is derived from Liberman.

Look in your passport

What surnames do Jews have? Characteristic features of Jewish surnames are the German suffixes “-man” and “-er”. However, you need to be careful here. After all, both Germans and Latvians themselves have such surnames. For example, Blucher was pure and got his German surname from an ancestor who participated in the war with Napoleon. It was a reward for courage and service to the fatherland - to bear the name of a famous German commander.

There is one more feature of Jewish surnames. So, this may be a kind of “geographical stamp”. Many Jews, moving to Russia from Poland, changed their surnames in such a way that they could understand where they came from. For example, Vysotsky (Vysotsk village in Belarus), Slutsky, Zhitomirsky, Dneprovsky, Nevsky, Berezovsky (Berezovka village), Donskoy, etc.

They can also be formed from diminutive female names. After all, unlike the Russians, they trace their genealogies to maternal line. Example: Mashkin (Mashka), Chernushkin (Chernushka), Zoykin (Zoyka), Galkin (Galka), etc.

But remember that a surname is not distinguishing feature Jews Mashkin and Galkin may turn out to be real Russian men, and the seemingly standard Ivanov and Petrov may turn out to be Jews. So it’s too early to draw conclusions based on the last name alone.

Choosing names

With names, everything is much more complicated - they can be anything. Of course, there are purely Jewish ones. For example, Leo (derived from Levi), Anton (from Nathan), Boris (from Boruch), Jacob, Adam, Samson, Mark, Abram (from Abraham), Moses, Nahum, Ada (Adelaide), Dinah, Sarah, Esther ( from Esther), Faina and others.

But there is also separate category names that are of Israeli origin, but Russian people wear them even more often than the Jews themselves. The characteristic features of such names are the ending -il (Daniel, Michael, Samuel, Gabriel), as well as the biblical meaning (Mary, Joseph, Ilya (Elijah), Sophia).

Nose

So, what are the characteristic facial features of Jews? The first thing people always pay attention to is the nose. Moreover, many believe that this sign alone is enough to consider a person a Jew. The famous “Jewish shnobel” begins to bend from the very base. Thus, the Israeli anthropologist Jacobs described this phenomenon in detail: “the tip bends down, resembling a hook, and the wings are raised.” If you look from the side, the nose resembles the number 6 extended upward. People call this nose the “Jewish six.”

However, based on this feature alone, it is impossible to say with certainty that a person is a Jew. If you look at it, it turns out that almost all of them had big noses: Nekrasov, Gogol, Karamzin, and even Turgenev. But it is known for certain that they were not Jews.

In fact, Israelis can have a wide variety of noses: fleshy “potato” noses, narrow ones with a hump, straight ones, long ones with high nostrils, and even snub noses. So, the nose alone is far from an indicator of “Jewishness.”

Common Mistakes

There is an opinion that there are certain signs that only Jews possess (characteristic facial features) - a huge nose, black eyes, thick lips. We've already dealt with the nose. As for dark eyes, these are the most common negroid characteristics. And the Negroid admixture is characteristic not only of Jews, but also of people of other nationalities. For example, as a result of the union of a Mongoloid and a Negro, the same traits can be obtained. This admixture is often observed among Greeks, Spaniards, Portuguese, Italians, Arabs, Armenians, and Georgians.

Another popular misconception is that Jews have dark, curly hair. Everything is the same here. The Negroid trait is obvious. On the other hand, the biblical Jew David was blond. This is already a Nordic admixture. And look at the Russian singer Agutin - a typical Jew, but by no means dark-haired.

Sign number one

And yet, how can one distinguish a Jew from a Slavic-Russian by his face? Are there reinforced concrete signs? Answer: yes.

If you doubt who is in front of you: a Jew or not, first of all pay attention to the racial trait - the Mediterranean admixture. Even Caucasians do not have it, who are often confused with Jews because of their fleshy noses, thick lips and curly hair. The Mediterranean admixture is very characteristic and clearly expressed even with great inbreeding. What is it?

Both straight and in profile it is a very narrow long face. It does not expand upward, unlike typical Slavic-Russian faces. Only Jews have this head shape with a narrow and elongated nape. Characteristic features can be seen in photographs by Louis de Funes or Sofia Rotaru. Russian Jews are a mixture of Mediterraneans and Western Asians (Caucasians, Armenians). Ideal examples are Boris Pasternak and Vladimir Vysotsky.

So, the main distinguishing feature of Jews is a very narrow, long face that does not widen towards the top. If, due to some impurities, such a face has expanded, then anywhere, but not in the forehead area. A Jew's forehead is always narrow, as if it were squeezed in a vice. In other places, in principle, the head can expand. And after you have seen this sign, you can pay attention to the nose, lips, eyes, last name and everything else that distinguishes Jews.

Character Traits

The main character traits of any Jew are self-confidence, absolute self-esteem and any lack of shyness and timidity. There is even a special term in Yiddish that combines these qualities - “khutzpa”. There are no translations of this word into other languages. Chutzpah is a kind of pride that causes a desire to act, without fear of being underprepared or incapable.

What is “chutzpah” for Jews? Courage, the ability to change your destiny, to fight its unpredictability. Many Jews believe that the very existence of their state of Israel is sacred, and this is an act of chutzpah.

As mentioned above, there are no analogues or translations of this concept in other languages. But in non-Jewish society, chutzpah has a negative connotation and is identified with the concepts of “arrogance,” “intolerance towards other people,” “shamelessness,” etc.

Indirect signs

It is worth considering some more Slavs and Jews. So, for example, facial cleanliness. Jews, unlike most Russians, often have a cluster of birthmarks in the area of the nose, mouth and chin. Moles are a sign of aging and degradation of the body. The later they form on the human body, the stronger the body. Jews, as a rule, are formed in childhood.

We continue to name the characteristic features of Israelis - their gums are very exposed when they smile. This is very rarely observed among Slavic-Russians. Jews often have a fairly sparse and asymmetrical dentition, unlike the Slavs, who are characterized by dense lower and upper teeth.

Burr as a speech defect is often considered an indirect sign. In principle, it is characteristic of some Jews. But only to a minority. Most Israelis pronounce the letter "r" very clearly. And they even teach this to Russians. But still, burring is a rare sign, because many of the Jews who had such a defect worked hard with a speech therapist. And any Russian child can have this pronunciation from birth.

Nationality

All peoples of the world do not have mandatory and strict laws that regulate nationality. There is freedom of choice: either the nationality of the mother or the father. The only exceptions are Jews. They have a strict and inviolable law: only those born of a Jewish mother can be considered a Jew.

And this law is strictly observed throughout the entire existence of the nation.

You can, but you won’t always be sure you’re right. There are many mixed marriages now. The person will be of one nationality, and his nose (from dad or mom) will be of another nationality :)

The nose of a black man, the nose of a person of Caucasian nationality, are very pronounced. But you can’t tell a Russian nose from a Belarusian nose.

Nationality by nose shape- this, if you hear it, is perceived as fun) I immediately remembered a girl named Ega, because... All her life she was only Russian by nationality.

Let's take a close look at this pretty lady (especially her nose) and try to answer: by the shape of her nose, how can you not tell that she is not Russian?

Now look no less carefully at the photo below. Do you recognize ours, and is he Russian or not?

To make it easier for you to compare belonging to our race, these two photos can be combined

How are you guys? This is a question for those who take this topic seriously. Who are the Russians, us, them, or Masha and the Bear from documentary film about the merry Russians))?

I think it will be quite difficult to determine 100%, but in combination with some other sign it is quite possible, but even then you can make a mistake. It is especially important to distinguish, for example, a Russian from a Belarusian and a Belarusian from a Ukrainian by the nose.

And even more so with plastic surgery.

But I must say that it’s still interesting to guess.

With 100% certainty - no. We can only talk about habitat, race, subrace, because some, for example, Tatars (Mongoloid race) have Iranian or North Baltic noses. Or the Greeks (in appearance - typical Turks) have the noses of Azerbaijanis (Transcaucasian subrace).

The indigenous inhabitants of Foggy Albion (look closely - you will understand what I mean), Jews, Iranians, Armenians (and not all of them), Georgians, and Slavs of the North Caucasus have characteristic noses.

Can. The Greeks have a hump. The Italians have a straight one. And so on.

Impossible...Only we have so many nations in Dagestan...and each nation has different noses)))))

How do you determine?

Once upon a time, back in Stalin's times, the police were given a memo on what signs can be used to determine the nationality of a person belonging to a great community - the Soviet people. They described characteristic features, including the shape of the nose. But the main thing is the drawing-memo.

Based on the shape of the nose, it is currently not possible to determine, but to suggest a genetic affiliation with some nationality, nationality or ethnic group. The nose is, after all, a fairly characteristic inherited trait, and in many nationalities it is undoubtedly pronounced. Another thing is that now there are a lot of mixed marriages, and accordingly, mestizo people, so establishing the true roots with 100% confidence based on the nose alone is a dubious undertaking.

I think it's possible. But this is only possible for physiognomists (or physiognomists), in general, people whose specialty is related to determining character traits based on the shape of parts of the human body.

However, the shape of the nose is not the main indicator of nationality. You can spot a Georgian by his nose, but not a Russian.

Nationality is a combination of many traits and characteristics that have developed over centuries and external influences. Representatives of neighboring regions may not differ significantly, but residents of different continents differ radically. Some examples of nationalities according to the shape of the nome - Chichens have an even large nose with a wide bridge, Georgians have an elongated nose with a hump, Jews have a large nose with a drooping tip, Armenians also have an elongated nose with a hump, the Chinese have a small and narrow nose like the Tatars. It is believed that it is by the structure of the nose that one can only determine whether a person belongs to the southern or northern type.

Each nationality has its own external characteristics: eye color, hair color, nose shape, physique... You can always tell an Italian apart ( dark eyes, curly hair, impetuous movements...) from the Scandinavian (blond hair, fair skin, gray eyes, leisurely movements...). Likewise, the shape of the nose allows us to determine the racial identity of a person. Of course, in the last one and a half to two hundred years people have been migrating throughout the Earth ball, absorb foreign culture and customs. However, the anthropological type of a person cannot change within 3-4 generations.

In part it is possible, the nose is one of the signs of a particular nationality, but due to frequent mixing, these signs gradually lose their belonging, after all, genetics is an unclear thing. It happens that a child can take more from one parent than from the other.

Nationality is a set of character traits that have developed over centuries of history and external data that distinguish an individual from representatives of another nationality. It is noteworthy that people living in neighboring regions differ only slightly in national characteristics, while representatives of different continents differ radically. Such differences between nationalities turn into racial ones. Before determining a person’s nationality, you must know the basic characteristics in appearance by which you can distinguish representatives of different nationalities - hair and skin color, shape and shape of the nose, as well as eyes. Representatives of different nationalities also have speech differences, but they do not always allow one to determine a specific nationality, since English language Half the world speaks, not just the English.

National differences of Africans

The skin of Africans (or blacks) ranges in color from brown to black. Pure-blooded Africans will never have blue or gray eyes - only black or brown. The shape of the eyes can be either round or almond-shaped. The nose is slightly flattened, with wide nostrils. Representatives African continent dark and usually curly hair, broad shoulders and long legs, they are tall.

National differences of Chechens

Both Chechens and Ingushets have light skin. Eye color - brown or black, small eyes. Dark and thick hair, eyebrows fused on the bridge of the nose are distinctive features of Chechens, who also have a straight and large nose with a wide bridge. The height of representatives of this nationality is approximately average. The figure is proportional.

National differences of Georgians

Very often, belonging to a particular nationality can be determined by last name. For example, native Georgians have a surname ending in “dze”. Therefore, how to determine nationality by last name is written in the relevant literature. In addition to their surname, Georgians can be distinguished by their light skin, almond-shaped brown or black eyes, an elongated nose with a hump, and jet-black eyes. thick hair. Representatives of this nationality have a proportional figure; in terms of height, Georgians are usually tall people, and not only men, but also women.

National differences of Jews

Jews have light skin, often with freckles, protruding and round eyes, gray or brown in color, and they have a large nose with a downturned tip. As a rule, the edges of the nostrils of Jews are slightly raised upward. This nationality has either dark or red hair. If you need to identify a Jew from the male half of society, then take a closer look at his facial hair - it is often different in tone from that on his head. Jews are a short nation, so there are no tall people among them, and often men are characterized by below average height. The Jewish figure has a disproportionate structure - they have a wide pelvis and narrow shoulders.

National differences of Armenians

Before determining nationality by appearance, take a closer look at the eyes - perhaps an Armenian is standing in front of you if the person’s eyes are almond-shaped, wide-set, and brown in color. Armenians have fair skin and thick and curly hair. Especially in men, dense vegetation is observed throughout the body. Armenians have a long, hooked nose, medium to tall stature, and a proportional build.

National differences of the Chinese

In order to determine the nationality of a person, it is not necessary to see him in person, since you can determine the nationality from a photo. The Chinese nationality, the most numerous on our planet, is characterized by a small and narrow nose, slanted and wide-set eyes - they are black. The Chinese have yellowish or brownish skin color and short stature. The physique of representatives of this nationality is proportional. The hair of the Chinese is dark and coarse, straight, and there is practically no hair on the body of men.

National differences of the Tatars

Tatars have a yellowish skin tone and dark or red hair, and representatives of this nationality are often at a young age are starting to go bald. Their eyes are brown and narrow, as is their nose, which in profile practically does not protrude above the rest of their facial features. Therefore, the face of Tatars often appears flat. Proportional physique and average or below average height are the national differences of this nation.

We hope that this information helped you in deciding the question of how to determine your nationality or the nationality of your friend or friend.

It turns out that the shape of the nose plays an important role in our ability to adapt to the local climate. Photo: RG Archive

The nose is character, say physiognomists. Straight speaks of honesty, long and narrow - of conservatism, long and fleshy - calmness, kindness, eagle - business acumen and cunning, short - optimism, sociability, potato nose - phlegm, etc. Is there any kind of phlegm behind these statements? is it science? Hardly. They are based on pure empirics. But serious scientists have long been trying to understand why people have different noses? More than 200 years ago, Briton Arthur Thomson noticed that long, thin noses were found in cold climates, while short, wide noses were found in hot, humid areas. Even the concept of “Thomson’s nose rule” appeared. But what influenced the shape of the nose of entire populations - natural selection or random mutations?

To test Thomson's rule, American scientists, armed with the most modern technology, studied the noses of hundreds of volunteers. Conclusion: its shape is not an accident, it was dictated by the climate.

This is another confirmation of the many works that scientists have carried out over decades, says Andrey Evteev from the Research Institute and Museum of Anthropology of Moscow State University. - Residents were usually compared tropical Africa with Europeans. It turned out that when a person moves from tropical latitudes to the north, the shape of the nose changes. Short and wide becomes narrow and long.

Why? The requirements for the inhaled air are different, and it must be processed. Hot - cool and ventilate, cold - heat and saturate with moisture. To heat up, the nose must be narrow and long so that the air passes more slowly and stays in contact with the warm walls of the nasal cavity for longer. Hence the predominant shape among Europeans - long and narrow. But Africans do not require heating, so the air path should be shorter and pass into the lungs quickly, without obstacles. This means that the nose is required to be short and wide. It turns out that Thomson was right: the shape of the nose was shaped by climate. And this rule of his can be elevated to law. But Russian scientists have shown that everything is not so simple.

When a person moves from the tropics to the north, the shape of the nose changes

We studied how the shape of the nose and face changes in North Asia during the transition from temperate climate very cold,” says Evteev. - And suddenly we discovered that Thomson’s rule was not fully observed. If during the transition from the tropics to a temperate climate the nose increased, then during the transition from a temperate climate to a severe cold one it decreases. Paradox? But at the same time the northerner’s face grew larger.

To explain, Andrei Evteev offers the following version: in severe frost the nose should not freeze, and therefore among the peoples of the Far North it is short. And in order to adapt to the cold inhaled air, the ancestors northern peoples gradually changed their face. It became larger, which increased the path of air movement and the time of its contact with the warm walls. In addition, air began to penetrate more slowly into nasal cavity, which means it takes longer to warm up. Such systems were invented by nature for different nations so that they can adapt to different climates.

Each nationality has distinctive features of appearance, character, and lifestyle. They tell them who a person is: Russian, Negro, Chinese, Jew. Representatives of the latter nation have a rich history and cultural heritage and live in many countries around the world. To identify a Jew, a description of what he looks like, knowledge of the peculiarities of his mentality and way of life will be useful.

How to distinguish a Jew: characteristic features

Head shape

To establish a person’s nationality, it is advisable to pay attention to the skull and face type.

The main sign of a Jew is the asymmetry of the head, in contrast to the Slavic-Russian, who has a clearly defined oval shape. For the latter, this creates a feeling of a secure, strong fit.

Jews often have an elongated head, the oval of the face is elongated, as in the photo of actor Nicolas Cage.

In this case, the person's profile clearly shows a flat area slightly sloping backwards.

It is not uncommon for a Jew to have a round head, but it is pressed into the shoulders due to the short neck. The photo shows comedian Mikhail Zhvanetsky.

This feature is often combined with short stature and excess weight of a person.

Another characteristic of the shape of a Jew’s head is the sloping forehead, visually tilted back. Yuri Nikulin's photograph shows this anthropological feature.

Nose

The way to determine nationality by appearance is to pay attention to a person’s nose. There are varieties of typical Jewish noses: wide, drop-shaped, elongated.

The famous “shnobel” is curved at the base, reminiscent of a hook, while the wings are raised. This shape forms the number 6, which is why in anthropology the nose is called the “Jewish six.”

The sign can be seen in the photo of actor Adrien Brody.

However, this type of nose is also found among Russians (in Gogol, Nekrasov), so one should not judge nationality by only one external feature.

The Jew Zinovy Gerdt has a drop nose. This shape is characterized by a wide tip and elongation downwards.

The Jewish nose, turned up above the edge of the nostrils, is shown in the photo of actor Alexei Batalov.

Eyes

You can tell that a person belongs to Jewish nationality by looking at his eyes. A characteristic feature is their convexity, as in the photo of businessman Roman Abramovich.

It is believed that Jews have poor eyesight: they are more likely than other peoples to suffer from color blindness and wear glasses.

Characterized by close proximity of the eyes, congenital strabismus is possible.

The color is predominantly dark, but there are also other shades, such as blue. There are blue-eyed brunettes among Jews.

Ears

A clear sign of Jewish nationality is a weakly defined, fused earlobe.

The shape of the shell is different, the contours of the lower half are often asymmetrical to the upper.

The Slavic ear is pressed to the side of the head with the middle. The Jewish one is fused with the lower and upper regions, as can be seen in the photograph of Vladimir Zhirinovsky.

Sometimes it seems that the shells on the bottom extend almost from the neck; they are called “saiga ears.”

Hair and beard

However, blondes are not uncommon. There are more fair-haired people among Ashkenazim (German-speaking European Jews) than among other types.

Redheads are also possible, mainly Polish Jews and representatives of the nation in Russia.

An element of the hairstyle is sidelocks - grown strands at the temples. They are optional, but along with a beard and sideburns, they are considered a custom and tradition of Jewish culture.

If a person is bald, false strands attached to the headdress are used as sidelocks.

Mouth

A peculiarity of the structure of the mouth of Jews is the excessive exposure of the gums when smiling, like Andrei Makarevich.

Mobility of the lips and their asymmetry during conversation are noted.

Last name and first name

The way to find out if there are Jewish roots is to analyze the person's last name and first name. However, you should not use the method as a fundamental one.

Characteristic endings of Jewish surnames:

on “-man” (Liberman, Guzman);
on “-er” (Stiller, Posner);
on “-ts” (Katz, Schatz);
with “-on” (Gordon, Kobzon);
on “-ik” (Yarmolnik, Oleinik);
with “-iy” (Vishnevsky, Razumovsky).

Leaving Poland, many Jews changed their surname, depending on where they were from - Vysotsky (Vysotsk village), Dneprovsky, Nevsky and so on.

There is great diversity in names. True Jewish ones (Daniil, Lev, Ilya, Yakov, Dina, Sofia) are often worn by representatives of Russian nationality.

What does a Jewish woman look like?

Jewish girls are confused with representatives of other nations, Caucasian or Mediterranean.

The distinctive features are similar to those of men, but are milder.

A purebred Jewish woman of middle and old age is usually presented as a woman with outstanding forms, a loud voice and the name Rozochka, Sarochka, and so on.

The representative of the nation is considered a caring wife and a reverent mother, overly protective of her children. However, women note negligence in everyday life, clothing and appearance, and a specific body odor. The rude manners of young and old Jewish women, who are characterized by loudness, are distinguished. Due to carelessness, they often smell of tobacco and sweat.

Face

The portrait of a Jewish woman, like a man, has characteristic national features. The hair is mostly dark. The nose is large, elongated or with a hump, plump lips.

Beautiful eyes deserve attention: slightly convex, bright and expressive.

They display eternal sadness, anxiety and worry.

Cheeks are sometimes chubby, which has been noted since childhood and persists in young girls and boys. Some sources cite excessive overfeeding of children and overprotection as the cause.

Jewish traditions include covering one's hair in public or in the presence of a male stranger.

However, today the custom is rarely observed, only in strictly orthodox circles.

Figure

A genetic feature of the body structure is considered to be wide hips, narrow shoulders, and full legs.

Jewish women predominantly have curvaceous and sensual figures, but there are also opposite types of figures.

Such women are characterized by narrow bones, dark complexion, and subtle oriental beauty.

Circumcision

A specific way to check Jewishness is to establish the integrity of the foreskin of the male genital organ.

It is believed that the manipulations among the Jews caused the gradual formation of an upward bend in the genital organ and its acquisition of a hook-shaped appearance.

Features and rules of life

An interesting fact is how Jews recognize each other. They call the sign “sorrow in the eyes.” A happy look is not typical for them.

The rules that real Jews observe are described in the book of the Torah: what they eat and drink (kosher food and drinks), use separate utensils when they are not working (on Shabbat), and so on.

Representatives of the nation are distinguished by their extraordinary intelligence and creative abilities; among them there are politicians, musicians, actors, and so on.

Common Misconceptions

There are rumors, conjectures, and assumptions about the Jewish nation. However, not all of them are true.

Only someone born Jewish can become a Jew.. The statement is erroneous, since a non-Jew, having undergone the rite of conversion, is recognized as a member of the community.
Representatives of the nation have a huge nose, plump lips and black eyes. In fact, there are fair-haired or red-haired Jews with thin noses.
An indirect sign of Jews is that they burr. This is due to the guttural pronunciation of the letter “r”, which is why it is perceived as a speech defect. However, most of them speak correctly and clearly, and burring is characteristic of people of other nationalities.
The Jews crucified Jesus Christ. The Romans did this. The Jews denounced the son of God, and also did not prevent the execution.
Jewish women have the largest breasts. The statement is due to the characteristics of women’s figures, but according to research, the primacy belongs to residents of Great Britain.
Jews have the longest nose. However, more outstanding dimensions of the olfactory organ were recorded among the Turks.
Jewish language Yiddish. Their languages are Hebrew and Aramaic. Yiddish is a form of dialect language characteristic of Ashkenazim.

The nose is important in a person's life. It consists of an osteochondral skeleton and the nasal sinuses. The organ is involved in breathing, smelling and is a filter for germs and dust. The nose influences the shape of the face and characterizes personality, age and ethnicity. Therefore, each organ is unique. However, not all noses are perfect, and the idea of them is subjective. Let's look at the secret to a perfect nose.

Nationality and perfect nose

Within every ethnic group there is a wide variety of facial features, and the nose is no exception. For diagnosis, not only absolute dimensions (length and width) are taken, but also the nasal index. Narrow is found among Europeans and Eskimos. Broad nose is characteristic of blacks, Australians, Melanesians, and African pygmies.

Various criteria for determining the perfect nose

Let's look at the nose in terms of proportions.

Symmetry is a generally accepted characteristic of beauty. To do this, the face is divided vertically into three parts, where the nose represents the middle part of the face.
If you divide the face vertically into five parts, you will notice that the width of the organ approximately corresponds to the width of each eye.

The ideal nose according to Leonardo da Vinci

The Italian scientist, artist and scientist in the 15th-16th centuries gave the most complete idea of the model of the perfect and the body. He devoted a number of studies to this topic, drew sketches and drew conclusions about ideal proportions. A feeling of harmony appears if the figure is based on symmetry and the principle of the golden ratio. This principle is that the human body is composed of components that stand in a certain relationship to each other and to the whole.

To measure the parameters of the nose and check the principle of the golden proportion, you will also need measuring instruments: a ruler, a pencil and a protractor.

The parameters of the nose become ideal if its length corresponds to one third of the height of the face, and the height of the tip is equal to two thirds of the back of the nose.

How can you tell a person's character by their nose?

Nose length. Short indicates a person who is open, optimistic, flexible and friendly. Very long - characterizes an intelligent but capricious personality. Long and characteristic of calm, charming and economic people. A long nose indicates a conservative personality.

Nose shape and the character of people are interconnected. A straight nose indicates the honesty, energy and calm nature of its owner, while a skinny nose indicates a person’s poor concentration. A potato nose is characteristic of slow, phlegmatic people. A person will have to work a lot with a narrow nose. If a woman has a small one, she is jealous.

Definition of character by tip of the nose:

A round shape is characteristic of a successful person.
The pointed tip indicates a treacherous, treacherous personality.
An upturned nose characterizes a person with unstable sexual morals and unable to keep secrets.
A full, convex and large tip of the nose is characteristic of a kind, hardworking, kind-hearted person capable of self-sacrifice.
A split tip of the nose indicates suspicion and shyness of its owner.

Female standard of beauty

A girl's ideal nose has been studied by many scientists based on facial analysis. beautiful girls antiquity and modern beauties.

IN Ancient Egypt The standard of beauty is a slender, graceful woman with a straight nose, big eyes and huge lips. IN Ancient Greece The standard of beauty was the sculpture of Aphrodite, which had a straight nose profile, large expressive eyes and a majestic posture. The Greek profile was emphasized by straight lines of the chin, mouth and nose, and a low forehead.

Modern research was carried out by American scientists under the leadership of Professor Omar Ahmed. They looked for the formula for a woman's ideal nose and came to the conclusion that its beauty depends on the angle formed by the base of the nose and the line connecting its tip to the lips. In a study of four thousand girls, a focus group and online users rated faces with noses ranging from 96 to 116 degrees. After processing the results, it turned out that the optimal angle was 106 degrees. The singer, famous model and actress Scarlett Johansson has such a neat, slightly upturned nose. It is with a nose like hers that girls want to see a plastic surgeon.

Now there is no standard of beauty. Individuality is valued. More and more often, European designers invite girls of atypical appearance to the catwalk.

What does it mean in men?

According to scientists, the shape of a man’s nose speaks not only about his mental, creative and artistic abilities, but also about his sexual activity.

The most popular myth is that men with small noses have sexual problems, and those with large noses have problems of a sexual nature. However, there is no evidence of this.

Men with long noses are smart, conservative people. They value habits, tradition and family. It is easy to find a common language with men with short noses. They are friendly and optimistic.

People with little ones are balanced, practical and energetic. They are often the soul of the company and leaders.

More often than others, men with a fleshy nose or potatoes are unlucky in their personal lives. They are careful, hardworking and attentive.

Men with a hump on the nose are stubborn, calculating, and have a strong character.

The ideal male nose is straight. Such men are educated, straightforward, and love beauty. However, often personal life does not work out.

How to make a beautiful nose?

Nature has endowed man with an individual appearance. But what if there are flaws and need to be hidden? There are many ways to achieve image harmony and improve your appearance.

Let's look at some of them:

With the help of makeup, you can visually enlarge or reduce different parts of the face. Lightly move the powder and foundation you can make the perfect nose for a girl.
Using a hairstyle, you can emphasize your face shape and hide imperfections.
Radical methods of changing appearance include plastic surgery. If a person has serious congenital or acquired defects, for example, curvature of an organ after an injury, then rhinoplasty will help cope with this problem.

Every person is unique. The idea of a perfect face and an ideal nose is subjective and changes all the time. By properly emphasizing your strengths, you can achieve harmony in your appearance and significantly increase your self-esteem.

A person's nationality can be very difficult to determine in some cases. There are several ways to determine a person’s nationality, naturally, firstly by appearance, and secondly by the language he speaks. Nationality is also determined by manners, the accent with which a person speaks, his citizenship, surname and many other factors. I will explain with some examples how to determine nationality by appearance, and which by internal characteristics of a person.

The Negroid race is considered the lightest type in the world. It is very easy to determine the nationality of a person if he comes from Africa or is African American. He will naturally have very dark skin or just very tanned skin. No one a white man or an Asian will never be able to tan in his life to such an extent either in a solarium or in the Sun to look like a black person. Black people are almost a hundred percent dark brown eyes, or almost completely black. The Negroid race has distinctly large noses with large nostrils. The eyes are also very large and larger than those of other races and nations. Also the structure of the skull is slightly different. What causes large noses and nostrils? Because in Africa it is very warm climate and historically it so happened that such hot air as, for example, in the desert is very harmful to a person. Therefore, nature adapted the Negroid race and gave them large noses so that they could filter and cool the air. Also, blacks tolerate heat more easily than white people, this is because of their special black skin, which has more pigment, they are better adapted to sunstroke, but still, just like whites and Asians, they cannot be in the open sun without drinking and dousing water for more than eight hours. Also, the majority of blacks have very large and thick lips, I don’t know exactly why this is different, but this is also due to the hot climate in Africa. They also have a slightly different build than white people, with squarer shoulders and are generally taller. Their accent may be different, but for example, a Negroid who grew up in Russia will speak pure Russian, so it’s not always possible to determine by accent.

Asians, that is, Chinese, can be specifically identified by the following factors. The Chinese are very short, almost always 160 centimeters. They also have darker skin than white people, but not as dark as Negroids. Basically it has yellowish tints, but not the same as with jaundice. The Chinese have very narrow eyes, small nose and thin lips. The majority of Chinese, like Negroids, have dark brown eyes; you rarely see Chinese with gray or blue eyes, only if they have parents of different races, for example, their mother was European.

Many cannot determine whether a Kazakh or a Kyrgyz is standing in front of them. But there are also different factors here. All nations of the post-Soviet space are different from each other. For example, the Kyrgyz have smoother and more correctly proportioned faces than the Kazakhs. Although the eyes of both peoples are narrow. This is due strong wind in the steppes, nature made sure that dust did not get into the eyes and that the wind did not blow too much. Also, all the nations of this region, that is: Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, Tajiks, Mongols, Uzbeks and Turkmens, have dark hair and dark eye color. But there are also exceptions, red-haired Kazakhs, for example, with blue eyes.

Now about the Thais and those who live in Southeast Asia. People from these regions are short like the Chinese, have the same narrow eyes, but their lips are thicker. There is something from the Negroids, because the climate there is similar to some latitudes in Africa. Thais and Vietnamese have darker skin than the Chinese, they look like Negroids, some are just like two peas in a pod, if not for their height and narrow eyes. Women from these areas are very similar to children even at the age of twenty-five. Men and women have very little body hair and their hair is dark in color. Men almost never wear beards, and if they do, it only grows on their chins, under their noses, and on their sideburns. Their accent will be simply terrible. The languages of Southeast Asia lack most of the sounds that we pronounce in everyday life. These languages are softer. For example, I heard the fact that Asians have a hard time pronouncing the letter L. It’s strange, but this happens.

Islanders. It's like a separate nation. They can be identified by their dark skin color and dark eye and hair color. They have everything almost similar to Negroids, the only thing is that their facial features are very regular and in general they for the most part have very Beautiful face. They are short in stature and will have an accent similar to that of Southeast Asians.

Germans and residents of northern and central Europe can be identified by their faces. Mostly they have gray eyes and light hair color, but not white; only thirty percent of them are blonde. The Germans are naturally easy to identify by their language. Native Germans speak German very badly; it will not be very pleasant for our people to listen to it, because the phonetics there are quite rough and they frankly mumble some sounds. Germans, unlike Russians, for example, have squarer faces and more disproportionate facial features. German girls are generally not as beautiful as our girls. Their physique is quite average, their height rarely exceeds two meters. Just like all Europeans, they have light eyes and small noses and lips. This is due to the fact that the air in Europe is mostly cool and favorable for the human body; it does not need to be cooled down like in Africa and nature has done everything for this. Also, the sun does not hit as strongly as in Africa, the skin is light and not tanned by nature.

Scandinavians can be identified by their light hair and eyes. Their skin is the whitest of all nations in the world, because they live in the most northern latitudes, where the sun is never as hot as in Africa. Their accent in Russian will be the same as that of all Europeans, or maybe not at all, since in principle our languages have similar alphabets and phonetics. The physique is the same as that of all Europeans, but the height can be a bit tall, unlike our nation.

Defining Latins. More precisely, residents Latin America. These are Mexicans, Panamanians, residents of Honduras, Colombia. These are the descendants of the Spaniards and Portuguese. And therefore I will immediately talk about everyone who lives in South America, Latin America, Portugal and Spain. Excluding, of course, the Negroids who live there in large quantities. Mostly Latinos have smooth features, their faces are very pleasant, although sometimes their noses are quite large. They love to wear a mustache, shaving off everything else, it is a national trait and a stereotype that a Mexican should have a characteristic black mustache. Their eyes and hair color are mostly brown and dark. But there are also searing green eyes and blue and gray ones. Their language is very beautiful; they will speak Russian without an accent if they have learned it. Basically they are very temperamental and everything is based on feelings. After a few days of communicating with such a person, you can make a very accurate conclusion that he is either from Latin America, or from Spain or Portugal.

It is very difficult to define an American. And all because Americans are descendants of Europeans. Their blood is very mixed. There are French and Italians, Portuguese, Spaniards there. IN North America For a long time, Negroids were brought as slaves, so after the abolition of slavery, a mixture of the white population with the black population began. Of course, if the husband or wife is Negroid and the second parent is white, then 90 percent of the time the child will be born Negroid, but if he was born white he will still have some Negroid facial features or have black eyes and black hair. An American can be identified by his accent only if he was not born in a Russian-speaking country. In principle, one can say that they are a universal nation or not a nation at all, because so many things are mixed in their blood. The USA is a country of immigrants, there are absolutely all nations there and everyone who was born there can consider themselves an American, it will be very difficult to say. The only other way to determine this is that Americans love money and business very much, but this is most likely useless information for determining the nation.

Of course, a person’s surname also mainly determines his nationality. For example, Chinese surnames are very short, from two to four letters. Their surname Li is the most popular. If a person has the surname Chen, Xian, Li, Huan, then most likely he is Chinese. But Koreans have surnames such as Park, Kim, and, in principle, their surname Lee is also very common.

The same applies to residents of Southeast Asia and residents of some islands where Asians live.

It will be very difficult to confuse American surnames with others. Only if with other English-speaking nations. Usually, their surname, like ours, contains the name of a grandfather or great-grandfather. Surnames such as Anderson, Johnson, Thomson. At the end, most of them add "son" which means son in English, that is, John's son is Johnson.

Smith is a very common surname in the UK. The surnames there are the same as in the USA, because they have the same language, but the names there are more complicated. For example, people like Gerard. It is possible, if possible, to distinguish by the surname of an Englishman and an American. Also, when many Americans became, let’s say, Americans, they sailed from Europe to colonize America and took the surnames they wanted. For example Brown or Snipes. These were both prisoners and criminals, they took very pretentious surnames, for example Gold, which means gold.

Residents Central Asia Basically they also differ in their surname. They sound very rude in Russian. For example Aldarbekov or Nurbekbaev. Everything here is determined by the prefix at the end of the surname. Bek or bai can be added, or maybe both at once. These surnames end in -ov and -ev, as well as -in. But in some countries of the post-Soviet space they abandoned the Russian heritage and removed the prefixes. The resulting surnames were Aryn, Baltabay, Zhanbyrbay. Also, the names may be the same, that is, Nurbay Boltabek. This is the first and last name. And the patronymic is appended with -uly or -kyzy. For example, Boranbay Ahmed Saibolatuly. This is the name of some Kazakh or Kyrgyz.

But for Caucasians, everything is generally wonderful. Georgians add -shvili or -dze to the end of their surname. For example, Garadze or Dzhugashvili (by the way, the surname of the Georgian Stalin). Armenians add -yan, for example Gasparyan, Harutyunyan. Maybe the name is Harutyun and the surname is Harutyunyan, that is, logically, the son of Harutyun. For Azerbaijanis, the surname cannot be determined so easily, as for other Caucasians.

For example, until recently I thought that the surname Pirov was a Russian surname, derived from the word “pir”, that is, a holiday. But no, this is a Dagestan surname. In Chechnya, Ingushetia and Dagestan, the surname is usually based on the name of the teip. These are surnames similar to Basayev, Pugoev, Tsechoev. They mainly differ from Russian ones in that their meaning will not be clear to us.

A Ukrainian surname must end with the letter O. These are Glushko, Shmatko, Timoshenko, Yushchenko. And also, for example, Yanukovych is a Ukrainian surname, that is, there are also variations.

The surnames of residents of Latin America and Spain, Portugal are easy to distinguish. This is Sanchez, Perez, Luis. All their surnames sound very beautiful, like their names, as well as their smooth language.

Well, it is simply impossible to confuse the names of, for example, Arabs with some others. There will be a very long last name that lists all seven generations that came before this person. Ibn will definitely be present there, which means the son of so-and-so. For example, if we had Arabic surnames, we would say Alexey Ibn Gavrila. That is, the son of Gavrila. But they don’t have surnames as such, they have a pedigree.

Jewish surnames in the Russian version will end in -vsky and -vich. These are Abramovich, Zhirinovsky, Khodorkovsky, Yavlinsky. All these are Jewish surnames and these surnames naturally indicate Jewish roots.

We determine the color type of appearance: winter, spring, summer, autumn

How to determine your color type?

Probably, at least once in your life you have heard about the so-called “appearance color type”. And I’ve already used this term a couple of times in articles on makeup. What kind of thing is this - color type?

Color type- this is a set of certain signs of a person’s appearance, depending on his eye, hair, and skin color. And depending on this, you can select the most suitable colors when choosing clothes or shades of cosmetics. There are 4 types of appearance: winter, spring, summer and autumn. Spring and autumn have warm shades, summer and winter have cold shades.

To determine which of the 4 types you belong to, you can take a color type test online.

Before this, we wash off all our makeup, look at ourselves in the mirror and carefully study the reflection in it. Do you remember everything? Now let's start taking the test to determine the color type.

What did we see in the mirror?

Appearance color type: winter, spring, summer, autumn

To determine your color type, take this simple test.

1. Which of the following statements suits you best?

The whites of the eyes are pure white

The skin has a bluish tint on the bend of the elbow, on inside wrists and forearms

The knuckles of the fingers often turn red

There are golden sparkles in the eyes

2. How do you tan?

I tan quickly, tan color is light or olive

I burn easily, the tan shade is light or red

I tan very quickly, the tan color is golden, carrot.

There are no problems with tanning, the tan color is olive-ashy.

3. What kind of skin do you have?

transparent, light pink, with a bluish cold tint

light beige, ivory. Warm skin tone

ivory, peach, beige-yellowish, light golden

either light porcelain white or dark

4. The shade of your blush

bright red or salmon

cold with an olive tint, or not at all

5. What color is your hair? (natural hair color is taken into account)

red, golden, with a copper tint, dark brown. Warm shades

light brown, golden, red, chestnut. Warm shades

black, dark hair sometimes with a silver or blue tint

ash, blond hair, light brown, dark brown. Cool tones

6. What color are your eyes?

brown, with slight yellowness

black, dark brown, dark green, cold, dark blue

dim, gray, yellowish

light green, amber, light olive, blue

7. What color are your eyebrows and eyelashes?

dark brown, red, with a golden tint

cool pink with olive undertones

By the way, determining the color type can sometimes be difficult. Well, first of all, not everyone can clearly say whether their skin/eyes are warm or cold. Secondly, there are exceptions to all rules. And it could be you. Thirdly, you may not be a “pure” color type, but a mixed one. This very often occurs due to the mixing of blood of residents of different latitudes and nationalities. As a result, you will have a unique color type. In this case, you need to decide what type, what tones (cold or warm) prevail in you. And depending on this, select the makeup palette and clothing colors.

At home, you can also try to determine which color type you belong to. To do this, also wash off all your makeup, choose pieces of fabric (or just plain clothes) of different shades, cold or warm. And gradually apply these fabrics to your face. Important! The lighting in the room should be natural, but not direct sunlight. By applying the fabric to your face, you will notice that the face either acquires a certain glow, a fresher look (that is, this shade suits you) or the face takes on an unhealthy tone, becomes tired, or older (which means this shade does not suit you). Having decided which tones suit you (warm or cool), you can understand that you fit one of two color types. Warm - this is autumn and spring. and cold ones mean winter. summer. After reading the descriptions of each type of appearance, you can decide which type you fit best.

Especially for readers of the site Beauty for Everyone, I found a video “how to determine your color type.” Take a look, maybe it suits you

Just a few years ago in the Soviet Union, a lot depended on a person’s nationality, for example, getting a job or entering a higher educational institution. Now we live in a democratic country, where a person’s nationality essentially does not play any role, as indeed throughout the world, because, regardless of a person’s place of birth and his “blood,” everyone has equal rights.

However, the question of nationality is quite interesting, because every person is interested in knowing what kind of family this or that person or he himself comes from, so in this article we will try to figure out how to determine nationality, especially since this can be useful, for example, for emigration. There are many ways to determine nationality, let's look at each of them.

How to determine nationality - method one

Ask your parents if mom and dad are Kazakhs, then you will belong to this nationality, but it often happens that parents of different nationalities are married, for example, the mother is Tatar and the father is Ukrainian. Then you must determine your nationality based on the general rules of a particular nation, for example, in Russia, nationality is determined by the father, while in Israel, nationality is determined by the mother.

How to determine nationality - the second method

It happens that a person does not know his true parents, for example, he was adopted or raised in an orphanage. Then the nationality of this person will depend on his place of residence, following the traditions of this people and perfect knowledge of the language of the country in which this person lives. For example, you live in Germany, but your native language is Hebrew, you also honor the traditions of Israel, observe all Jewish holidays, for example, Hanukkah, then you are a Jew.

How to determine nationality - the third method

You can determine your nationality based on physiological characteristics, although, most likely, this method may be subjective and not objective, because, for example, if you had a distant great-grandfather who was Armenian, and your mother and father are Russian, then you may still experience facial features inherited from a distant relative, such as eye color and nose shape. Below are the most common features of certain nationalities.
First, let's remember school biology courses and consider the existing classifications of people's races, which are determined by place of residence: for example, dark skin contains more melanin, which protects from the sweltering sun.

Caucasian race - about half of the planet's population belongs to this type. Distinctive features: fair skin, soft or slightly wavy hair, narrow nose, thin lips, eye color may vary. The Caucasian race includes residents of Europe, Armenians, Tajiks, Ukrainians and others.
The Negroid race is most often found in Africa and America. People are distinguished by their dark skin, wide lips and nose, brown eyes (there are exceptions) and dark curly hair.
The Mongoloid race makes up about 40 percent of the world's population. It is distinguished by its yellowish skin color, straight forehead, wide nose and narrow eyes. The Mongoloid race includes the inhabitants of China, Japan, Koreans and other Asian peoples.
Australoid race - inhabits Australia and the island of New Guinea. It is distinguished by its dark skin color, wide nose, brown eyes and well-developed hair.

But, thanks to the rapid growth of the Earth's population, there has now been a mixture of different races, which makes humans unique. It is enough to read about this or that nationality so that you can identify yourself with it.

In general, it’s not only interesting to study your own or someone else’s nationality, it’s also quite cool to learn the traditions of certain nationalities, for example, what holidays are celebrated by residents different countries. As you can see, nationality is sometimes difficult to determine, since in modern life people have a lot of blood mixed together.

Nationality is a set of character traits that have developed over centuries of history and external data that distinguish an individual from representatives of another nationality. It is noteworthy that people living in neighboring regions differ only slightly in national characteristics, while representatives of different continents differ radically. Such differences between nationalities turn into racial ones. Before determining a person’s nationality, you must know the basic characteristics in appearance by which you can distinguish representatives of different nationalities - hair and skin color, shape and shape of the nose, as well as eyes. Representatives of different nationalities also have speech differences, but they will not always allow one to determine a specific nationality, since half the world speaks English, not just the British.

National differences of Africans

The skin of Africans (or blacks) ranges in color from brown to black. Pure-blooded Africans will never have blue or gray eyes - only black or brown. The shape of the eyes can be either round or almond-shaped. The nose is slightly flattened, with wide nostrils. Representatives of the African continent have dark and, as a rule, curly hair, broad shoulders and long legs, and they are tall.

National differences of Chechens

National differences of Georgians

Very often, belonging to a particular nationality can be determined by last name. For example, native Georgians have a surname ending in “dze”. Therefore, how to determine nationality by last name is written in the relevant literature. In addition to their surname, Georgians can be distinguished by their light skin, almond-shaped brown or black eyes, an elongated nose with a hump, and thick, pitch-black hair. Representatives of this nationality have a proportional figure; in terms of height, Georgians are usually tall people, and not only men, but also women.

National differences of Jews

National differences of Armenians

National differences of the Chinese

National differences of the Tatars

Tatars have a yellowish skin tone and dark or red hair, and representatives of this nationality often begin to go bald at a young age. Their eyes are brown and narrow, as is their nose, which in profile practically does not protrude above the rest of their facial features. Therefore, the face of Tatars often appears flat. Proportional physique and average or below average height are the national differences of this nation.

We hope that this information has helped you in deciding the question of how to determine your nationality or the nationality of your friend or friend.

You can, but you won’t always be sure you’re right. There are many mixed marriages now. The person will be of one nationality, and his nose (from dad or mom) will be of another nationality :)

The nose of a black man, the nose of a person of Caucasian nationality, are very pronounced. But you can’t tell a Russian nose from a Belarusian nose.

Nationality by nose shape- this, if you hear it, is perceived as fun) I immediately remembered a girl named Ega, because... All her life she was only Russian by nationality.

Let's take a close look at this pretty lady (especially her nose) and try to answer: by the shape of her nose, how can you not tell that she is not Russian?

Now look no less carefully at the photo below. Do you recognize ours, and is he Russian or not?

To make it easier for you to compare belonging to our race, these two photos can be combined

How are you guys? This is a question for those who take this topic seriously. Who are the Russians, us, them, or Masha and the Bear from the documentary about the Merry Russians))?

And even more so with plastic surgery.

But I must say that it’s still interesting to guess.

Can. The Greeks have a hump. The Italians have a straight one. And so on.

Impossible...Only we have so many nations in Dagestan...and each nation has different noses)))))

How do you determine?

Once upon a time, back in Stalin's times, the police were given a memo on what signs can be used to determine the nationality of a person belonging to a great community - the Soviet people. It described characteristic features, including the shape of the nose. But the main thing is the drawing-memo.

However, the shape of the nose is not the main indicator of nationality. You can spot a Georgian by his nose, but not a Russian.

Each nationality has its own external characteristics: eye color, hair color, nose shape, physique... You can always distinguish an Italian (dark eyes, curly hair, impetuous movements...) from a Scandinavian (blond hair, fair skin, gray eyes, leisurely movements ...).Similarly, the shape of the nose allows one to determine a person’s race. Of course, in the last one and a half to two hundred years people have been migrating all over the globe, absorbing foreign culture and customs. However, the anthropological type of a person cannot change within 3-4 generations.
