We don't see the Habsburg jaw much these days.

  Not sure if this is a joke I'm not getting, but the "variants" in the linked study refer to tiny genetic sequences, not phenotypical appearance traits.

    Where do you think the Habsburg jaw comes from, if not a combination genetic sequences - a POLYhj if you will?
    • rory 5y ago
      There's no reason to believe POLYhj is any lower now than during the Habsburg dynasty. Homozygosity is independent of population-level allele frequency.

        Charles II was infertile, so there's some reason.
