The Berber king Massinissa.
"I'm tracking a distinctive facial morphology—a straight nose with no bridge indentation—that appears frequently in ancient elite art across multiple continents and 24,000+ years, but is nearly absent today. Ancient DNA shows elite groups practiced extreme endogamy (up to 50% cousin marriage), which could concentrate specific traits. The disappearance likely documents massive population replacements and the collapse of ancient class-based genetic isolation."
This is a working document on the above subject. It has not been edited. Qwen3.5 included some examples, such as Nefertiti, which I think do meet the parameters of what I have been researching. But it does present the overall thrust of the research.
This is a qwen3.5 study of further facial morphological details associated with the straight bridge of the nose that initially inspired this research.
Looking for traces of the biological elite.
Is it possible to deduce associated personality traits of this same class of people?
The unbreakable code of elite membership
