Dienekes, let's be fair. The two noses look very similar. What that means, I don't know.

The two noses look nothing alike. The Khoisan has a flattened low rooted nose. Socrates has a projecting high rooted but short nose.

It would help if the Socrates bust was facing forward and not at a different angle than the Bushman.

I seriously doubt that socrates would have any recent Khoisanid ancestry. But it's best to make arguments that seems as fair as possible IMO.
