True Left

Why don't you at least try posting examples from other countries? Sri Lanka, Maldives, Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar, and mainland China all have no representation in this topic yet, so you have plenty of choices even just from countries neighbouring India. The point of the new system is not for me to end up doing all the posting myself again.....

If you insist on an example with big eyes, why not:

What do you think?

(At the same time demonstrating how the new system works: Pakistan prior to this post was unrepresented, so a new spot has now been created (no booting required).)

"I was thinking of opening up a new spot.."

OK, here is how the new system (which aims to open more spots) will work. Any face from a currently unrepresented country gets a free spot. However, they can still be booted by subsequent new faces from already represented countries. Let's try this for a while and see if it works. So please make sure you state which country each new face you post is representing.

"Also, do you agree with my statement about big (more specifically, "protruding") eyes being a sign of neoteny?"

I have not thought about it like that. Deep eye sockets are definitely non-neotenous, but eyes in shallow sockets are not necessarily bigger.

I think your standards are dropping lower and lower.

Whom do you claim she is capable of booting?

Here is another pic where he makes another actor, Vijay (far left), look subhuman, in comparison:



Face > Height.
Short (albeit not robust) face is a negative force multiplier on ectomorphs when the subject is taller.

This height obsession needs to stop IMO. BTW, as evidenced by Vijay (a South Indian actor) this phenomenon is not restricted to North India.

guest90 does not appear to be around, so does anyone else want to defend Gatwa?

"Contrast to Western dance (e.g. ballet) where the movements are much more rigid, hence would be suited for robust skeletal types."

I don't think this is accurate:

Returning to this post:

"Hrithik Roshan is probably the worst male that we currently have on here."

I will take this as a claim that Ostrum is able to boot Roshan. I disagree.

"he just had a really good photographer for that one picture, who managed to make his phenotype look far better than it actually is in reality"

Let's compare using videos, then:

I would say Roshan wins on eyebrows alone. Recall:

https://trueleft.createaforum.com/human-evolution/aryan-eyebrows/

Ostrum's eyebrows seem glued around his eye sockets and barely move at all as he talks, whereas Roshan's eyebrows seem to be in motion in almost every shot.

Roshan's facial features are lighter overall. Roshan's nose takes up less room inside the face. Roshan's mouth is proportionately narrower than even 12-year-old Ostrum's!

Notice how skeletally gracile Roshan is. This is why the dance moves in the video are executed so gracefully by him. Contrast to Western dance (e.g. ballet) where the movements are much more rigid, hence would be suited for robust skeletal types.

Also note how much more slim he is in the video compared to the other photos. This might indicate that he is not quite mesomorphic after all. In fact, I suspect that he falls between an ectomorph and mesomorph. Pure mesomorphy would be quite rare in the Indian population as they are maladapted to a meat heavy diet, which is the main source of muscle building.

Please post a music video.
