1. Lactase persistence 2. Prevalence of BRCA1/BRCA2 mutations (associated with breast cancer). 3. Distribution of genetic predispositions to specific conditions (e.g., Type 2 diabetes). 4. High-altitude adaptations 5. Cold climate adaptations (e.g., body fat distribution in Arctic populations). 6. Genes influencing dietary habits (e.g., alcohol metabolism, starch digestion). 7. Genetic remnants of extinct populations (e.g., Denisovans in modern humans). 8. Regional variations in serotonin transporter gene alleles (linked to mood regulation). 9. Genes associated with altruism or risk-taking behaviours. 10. Cohen Modal Haplotype (CMH): Associated with the priestly lineage in Jewish tradition, often found on the Y-chromosome in descendants of Cohanim. 11. Baldness 12. Flat feet 13. Genes that affect sleep. Such as DEC2. It allows people to sleep much less and function totally normally with no downsides. 14. The malaria-protecting variant. 15. ACTN3 and the super-sprinter variant. 16. Vocal: percentage of Bass, Bariton, Tenor among men, and Alto Mezzo and Soprano among women.

Epicanthic fold, hair texture, earlobes, wet/dry earwax, & facial/body hair are all things that I think would be cool to investigate.

Phenotypes are more than just hair, eye, and skin colour. They're about face and skull shape/size, nose shape/size, mouth/lip shape/size etc. but maybe describing those traits would be more difficult

A map of genetic migrations since 20,000 BC. To really see who is who and who are the descendants of who really.

It really goes to show how population movements can greatly alter the demographics of a region. Not more than a thousand years ago, the Western region of India (Gujarat and Western Maharashtra) was populated by Semitic and Greek Thalassocratic colonies. We have stories, records, and paintings depicting the interactions between them and the local people. Interestingly, we use "Ti/Tee" to refer to females, similar to the Arabic "Habibi" (male) and "Habib'ti" (female), which is not found in other Indian languages. In the past hundred years, tribes from Central and Eastern India have moved to Maharashtra, particularly to the eastern regions of Western India. Which is also why Eastern Maharashtrians are still considered different from Western Maharashtrians.

The origins of Haplogroup Q in Scandinavia. Haplogroup Q is Asian and its hypothesis is it’s from the Huns. I could get you in touch with a genealogists who has been working on this extensively.

One particular phenotype is becoming very important to my idea of difference between different types of human beings and that is Hair type along with hair color. I would like a matching of the different hair types and underlying genetic factors. Different hair types I know of are: 1.Straight 2. Wavy 3. Curly 4. Kinky I see distinct geographical distribution of people with these 4 different hair types , i think there would be underlying genetic factors behind them.

Predominant/plurality Blood type in population would be cool🩸, the Japanese fans will go crazy about that type of stuff. Brachycephaly/dolichocephaly maybe. Hairiness/Hirsuteness

A. Frecles distribution B. Frizzy Hair distribution C. Frenulum differences? D. Fingerlength average E. Footsize F. Frost sensitivity? idk, something on F.

I would love to see a map with different types of noses. Lactose persistence would be great. As would blood-type including rhesus factor. Cranial index if possible, and a hairsystem based in style, density and thickness.

Tooth shape or mouth structure would be fun, lots of smiles! Foot shapes are also interesting from an anthropological standpoint but unfortunately tied to other things when involving social media

Good progress so far on my series of maps over the distribution of human phenotypes worldwide! Can you think of any phenotypic traits that could be mapped out other than eye color, hair color, skin color, height or BMI? I'll be opening up the newest Masamen census soon, might include these as questions as well
If you would like to donate to help me out so I can get the hardware and software I need to make advanced maps like this, check it out here:

It's pretty difficult to make these kinds of maps with my current setup but I can still do it, it will just take longer, so donating helps me release them quicker. Thank you so much fellas, you have no idea what it means to me
