ASIANS
EAST ASIAN
The largest human racial group consists of East Asians and includes Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Vietnamese, Philippines, Indonesians, Malayans, and Thais. East Asians have sometimes been called Mongoloids, meaning "like Mongols." Mongols have straight, black hair and generally a wide, flat face with such features as sparse beard and moustache, and a fold of skin (the epicanthic fold) that covers at least the inner corner of the eye and gives it an almond-shaped appearance. Most East Asians share these features and certain characteristics of the teeth, but the peoples of Southeast Asia are generally smaller, darker, and more slender than those farther north. In fact, people of South China tend to resemble other Southeast Asians more than they do North Chinese. Also, it is not always possible to distinguish Chinese people from Koreans and Japanese on the basis of physical characteristics. Throughout history the peoples of the region have migrated and intermixed, so that national boundaries do not coincide with discrete subraces in modern Asia.
