Strange, almost like phenotype is dependent on genotype?
It seems this includes genes that don't play a direct role in the formation of facial features.
Yes, but it's not necessarily the only way that would work. So this is very neat!
It is still interesting. I wonder if epigenetics plays a larger role, or if face look is tied to other random traits.
The article says epigenetics don't play much of a role in it, it's all genetics.
You're telling me people whose genetics make them look similar have similar genetics???
Not proven until now.
These “duh” comments are always here in these situations.
We're just joking around here my friend :) of course it's important to confirm, still funny every time
I hope so, that’s good to hear. Some people seem so pissed off when making such comments about “useless” studies. 😔
People in text always sound more pissed off than they were. That mostly has to do with your expectations though ;)
You think this sounds angry???
Can you stop yelling?
sorry. I thought I was being friendly. Perhaps you'd prefer periods as my punctuation. I hope you're happy.
Does that mean you could guess a person's personality from just their look?
Well not their face, but definitely the shape of their skulls!
Of course you'd say that. You have the brainpan of a stagecoach tilter!
Big, if true
Colossal, if legitimate
Gargantuan, if verifiable
