Amazing pictures! (IMG:http://www.asiafinest.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
The two people in the very first picture look very 'north-east asian'. I'm pretty sure they're mixed i.e with Japanese. But the lady whose pic was taken in 1900 looks like a native American. The guy with a big beard holding a sword looks like an Indian or Pakistani. And the old man in red with a beard looks like a native of one of the eastern islands of Indonesia, and the lady in black right next to him looks like a Central Asian(eg. Uzbek or Uyghur). Whoa! Great diversity of facial features. |

Maybe being on an Island for generations...they developed their own "unique" look lol (IMG:http://www.asiafinest.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/embarassedlaugh.gif) Alot of different Asian people still look indistinguishable anyways. Just some that you usually notice. |
