What are the features of a "*******"?

Question

I was wondering what determining factor makes a person black. Is it their skin color, nose shape, hair texture or what? The reason I ask this is because I have seen "Black" with "white" features and "White" people with "Black" features. For instance the aborigines who have what is to be considered "black" facial features also have hair texture that is akin to the Caucasoid race.

Answer 1

the main features i can think of are black people have wider noses, larger lips, and the back of their head typically goes out farther.  Plus, they have a different bone structure.  Their skulls are usually wider, and the oral area of their skull usually goes out farther.  Lots of the africans in the USA have European blood, so they inherited both black and white genes.  As for the aborigines, they are not African, even though they look african.  The biggest difference is that they have larger skulls.  And probably the same thing happened in australia (intermarriage)
