Facial Composites and Nationalities

What an interesting site!  I've long heard the research that if you take the average composites of the people in an area, you will come up with a generally attractive physique.  Based on these photos, true.

I then found myself perusing through these trying to see what nationality my face most matches.  I came up with: Finnish, French, Welsh.  What do you think?  What nationalities do you think you most resemble?

I think probably Indian, Ethiopian and Chinese. Haha. I kid.

Mostly Italian, Swedish, with a bit of Russian and/or Finnish.

There are other characteristics, not face shape, that are true to certain cultures, not countries, that define that region. For example, northern Italy-Czech Republic region gets its ancestry from Mesopotamia/Viking mix. The common features are more about the brow line to nose bridge and eye color, sometimes a defining chin, but not the face shape, which varies. While I understand you didn't come up with the face shapes proposed, it seems far-fetched to match a facial shape with a modern country. Also, Native American tribes each have defining characteristics (cheek bones, eyes, etc) that would be a good addition to the list.
