Hi, new person!
​
I agree, in the absence of any real data, with Mr Jack: it's likely just a variant with no Deep Evolutionary Significance (TM). You might try "epicanthal fold" in Google, if you're really interested - that's the real name of the eyelid structure that gives rise to "slanted eyes." I didn't see much in the first page or two there apart from definitions and ads from cosmetic surgeons, though.

Things like natural selection are not evolutionary ideas but scientific ideas. Creationists have no problem with natural selection.
Whew! I wonder why it took Charlie Darwin to figure out that natural selection was one of the two drivers behind the changes we see in life over time, then? It seems that some creationist like Moses would have pointed that out.
