In a study published in PLOS Genetics on Thursday, the researchers found that nostril width differed significantly among populations from different regions around the world. Moreover, the higher the temperature and absolute humidity of the region, the wider the nostril, the researchers found, suggesting that climate very well may have played a part in shaping our sniffers.
Physical traits that are in direct contact with the environment often undergo natural selection and evolve faster, said Arslan Zaidi, a postdoctoral scholar in genetics at Penn State and an author of the paper. “This is one of the reasons why we looked at nose shape.”
All in all, Dr. Zaidi and his colleagues measured seven nose traits, including the nose’s height, protrusion and nostril width, along with skin pigmentation and overall height in men and women whose parents were born in regions that corresponded with their genetic ancestry. They looked at four regions — West Africa, East Asia, Northern Europe and South Asia — with at least 40 participants in each group.
Among the groups in this study, only nostril width and skin pigmentation showed greater differences than would be expected because of chance accumulations of genetic mutations.
Over all, people whose parents and ancestors came from warm, humid climates tended to have wider nostrils, whereas those from cold, dry climates tended to have narrower ones.
Correlations between nostril width and climate were strongest for Northern Europeans, the researchers found, suggesting that cold, dry climates in particular may have favored people with narrower nostrils.

So long noses are racist?

So why do jews have large noses

Middle East is hot as fuck.

What kind of climate explains this?
Bentley Williams
The climate of a bank.
Landon Baker
Because air is free

One where there's lots of sand so your nostrils stay pressed to the mustache to filter out the sediment.
I'm a slav so my nose is small, sort of wide like an Asians
Samuel Brooks
Degenerated genetics, like bulldogs or whatever mixed shit

Almost as if the Jews lived in the upper atmosphere and needed bigger noses to bring in air at a greater rate.

Can anyone explain the Irish?
Their nigger noses suggest warmer climates; their pale complexion suggests colder.
What are these science defying, wife beaters?

If they had recent mixed genetics, it can outdo normal evolution in cold climates.
Celts often have small noses compared to Africa and the ME, though. Mixing would account for larger noses, and that can be from even the Romans, who will have bigger noses than Northern Europeans.

What about cold, humid climates? And warm, dry ones?
Samuel Davis
so this pretty much explains Vietnamese accents being located at the upper back of the nasal cavity if you consider how the nose adapts in a humid climate
Evan Rogers
To sniff for shekels and gold.

Looks like a nose that got melted.

So in other words big and narrow noses are the norm in every climate except hot and humid
Sounds like things might be more complicated than these people are making out

You're dumb pls tell me you mean south as in sub-Saharan Africa and not the American south. Your nose could not have changed shape in just a few generations.

Same reason Bedouins and other Arab types have a big nose, the dryness of the air. Northern Whites also tend to have a large nose as well, for the same reason.
Think of the nose in terms of a humidifier, whether cold or hot air present, in that it humidifies the dry air on the way in. My dryness means you need a bigger engine, therefore longer nose.
Smaller (flatter, not long) noses are generally in/from places with high humidity and less need to cool/heat/humidify the air. Think of blacks in Africa, or jungle Asians, or whatever. Eskimos and such are a bit of an outlier though.

Wider nostrils are just better. I have a lot of nasal problems and I have a very narrow nose. Honestly wish I had a massive jew nose or a humongous nostril nig nose

No, it's because fresh air is free.

Ionized metal particles from gold exposed to the lights in bank vaults condense on the nostril mucous membrane and gather towards the tip of the nose, weighing it down.
