In your opinion of course. Now I know that this question is not particularly giving knowledge or seeking knowledge, but I find it interesting when phenotypes challenge my own generalizations based on regions. Here's this woman's youtube account:

My first thought was that she was East African. In fact, I was damn near sure of it. Either that, or she was of partial European decent. Either way, her phenotype imo comes across as being an intermediate between the stereotypical "negro" type and the stereotypical "caucasian" type. Come to find out, her parents are both West African: one from Guinea, the other from Benin. Now, based on her features, I'm still assuming that at least one parent is of at least some non-West African influence. Not that i'm not aware of Africa's variation, but surely you understand why I would think so based on her phenotype.
random, i know.... |
