Neanderthal genes shape human noses

Research reports a study on the genetics of facial features in Latin Americans using automatic landmarking of 2D portraits and genome-wide association analysis. The study identified novel regions associated with facial features, including a region in 1q32.3 that shows introgression from Neanderthals and influences nasal height.
