| description | Human faces have their individual uniqueness. The morphology of the face is
influenced by the genetic and epigenetic factors. The factors that contribute to
individuality are exerted on every faces. The present human population originated from
three distinct stock races, Mongoloid, Caucasoid and Negroid. The subsequent
breakdown of the geographic barriers and mixing up of the gene pools due to factors such
as marriage between stock races has been the cause for the diversity among features of
the present population in general, and specifically in the facial structure. Epigenetic
influences such as extreme climate, and differences in atmospheric pressure, has caused
physical alteration in the human physical traits. Three major ethnic groups, Malay,
Chinese and Indian that have originated in different geographical regions but are now
living in Malaysia as Malaysian national are studied in this research for identifying facial
features that manifest significant relationship to ethnic affiliation. The data collected from
photogrammetric measurement of the scaled face images that were recorded in a
controlled manner from each of the 105 volunteering individuals were analysed using
one-way ANOVA. These ethnic groups were found to exhibits significant differences in
twenty out of the total twenty-four anthropometric measurements taken. |
