Richard Poe wonders whether Socrates had a "Khoisanid" nose.

Dienekes, let's be fair. The two noses look very similar. What that means, I don't know.
Posted by: Unadorned at July 18, 2003 08:52 PMThe two noses look nothing alike. The Khoisan has a flattened low rooted nose. Socrates has a projecting high rooted but short nose.

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.
