Excellent pictures and video, I think now you're finally getting the gist of how typical Cantonese pheno is supposed to look like, bravo. And yes a lot of these individuals indeed look Daic-shifted or SE Asian-influenced.

But I have to add that Taishan (or Toisan in Cantonese) is still quite close to the Pearl River Delta, those Canto speakers from Zhaoqing, Yunfu, and Maoming should be even more similar to Guangxi.

Those Shandong convicts kind of are less robust in the midface and jaw compared to Uisashi's Guangxi convicts... and as expected most of them do not look that Mongol passing or Mongol approximate lol

And no one said being narrow or gracile was necessarily a good thing or that it made you "handsome and superior"...

1) I'd wager that I'm probably both more genetically southern than you, and have seen more actual Cantonese people than you...

2) I do not think you know what actual young Mongols look like. I might send an album of them sometime

3) Let me ask you a question- why exactly do you want far south Chinese to be "gracile" so much? Is it because modern Chinese beauty standards are biased towards gracile people (esp. on females)? Is it because you personally prefer more gracile faces (esp. on females)? 

I don't think northern Chinese are particularly gracile (I think robust/gracile is largely lifestyle anyways). But I'm hesitant to say robustness is a big difference between fsc and northerners with the exception of maybe northerner faces being a bit bigger, but again, we don't know if that will apply given similar feeding and lifestyle.

I think a large proportion of modern day urban north china kids are clearly very unhealthy with a divergent lifestyle to their predecessors, so I don't think their types can be seen as representative.

I think some Mongols overlap with northern Chinese (maybe not Shandong, which is clearly Austronesian shifted, but more Hebei/Shanxi). I don't think Mongols are less attractive; they in fact might fit conventional EA beauty standards the most, as they have long thin legs, ovular features and their eyes are probably larger than bulk Nhan imo. I just don't find them close enough looking to group them together.

The Guangxi student pics I posted are from a small town in SW Guangxi. I personally doubt many are from other regions and their features look quite regional to me for the most part.

Although Shandong people look mostly Sinitic, many do have structural similarities with various Austronesians. This becomes obvious upon close inspection.

For example, let's look at this guy. He looks very Shandong or Hebei. Normally, you'd look at him and think "no way he's Austronesian-influenced."



But he actually strongly resembles this Indonesian girl (thumbnail and stopped). 

You can also go watch the Taiwanese aboriginal boomer video I sent earlier in this thread- some amount of them may facially resemble certain Shandong people. Coastal Shandong people also seem to have noticeably thicker forearms and straighter shoulders than inland northern Han which is probably due to Austronesian influence. 

Are Polynesians even more robust than other Austronesians, or just a bit taller？

Not really... (reposting some videos I posted earlier in the thread)



Look at the body types/proportions of these Filipino-Americans... their limbs are very thick in reality



These Taiwanese aboriginal boomers are consistently wide and thick-limbed
