Question

Can someone answer this question in their own words? I am interested in asking this and I want to see someone's answer to this. Why do East Asians have monolids and why do Indians look very different from Chinese even though India and China are countries close to each other?

Answer 1

From what I heard East Asians have mono lids and south Asian people don’t is from what people explained to me is that long ago east asians had different beauty standards and products to help them look youthful, for example, Japanese people who used to dye there teeth as a sign of youth. And south Asian people (I’m South Asian and that’s what I know btw) used eyeliner as a sign of youth and beauty. For many years many countries have different beauty practices that formed our faces/eyes and etc. in different ways. Also East Asian people used to do different things to there face to fit standards even back then. For example fixing their eyes and skin lightening. (Please let me know if I said something incorrect)

Answer 2

Asians most likely have them because well..they just have them, no true explanation and scientists are thinking that they developed them for ancient asians in cold places like mongolia for protecting the eye, and just for the reasoning of being neighboring places, that wont really mean they will look similar or the same. and this is just what i think, personally.
