I have been searching Google and have found nothing, but I accidentally found this forum, so maybe someone knows.
Why do orientals have 'slanted' eyes?
What evolutionary purpose do they have?
Any extended info on this would be appreciated, I cannot find jack on Google. Thanks.

Good point. Maybe. Although, it makes MORE sense evolutionwise to have wider eyes, because vision is one of our most important survival tools. Unless you live in a sandy area with sandstorms all the time. But.. as far as I know Asians did not start out in sandy areas and then spread. But, what do I know?
