One has to do with teeth. I forget what it's called.

Yes! The TV special discussed that. They were called shovel teeth or scoop teeth or something like that. I was berating my cat for some misdeed at the time and wasn't paying attention.

This term is usually associated with Asians. SE Asians have Sundondont teeth and North Asians have Sinodont teeth. American Indians have Sinodont teeth and Kennewick Man had Sundodont teeth.

Yes, it's shovel teeth. You can probably find a drawing somewhere on the internet. I have one somewhere in my archives. You can tell by running your tongue along the back of your teeth. This is a characteristic that can carry forward by hundreds of years.
