It can also be seen, but to a different extent. An african that grows up in a city in a wealthy household seems to end up with a different sort of facial structure and skin than those who grow up in rural areas...and it never goes. However, the effect is far more pronounced among those who grow up abroad.
You can see this clearly in london - it's pretty easy to observe which Africans migrated to England at perhaps age 10, vs those who were born and grew up in England.

- maxklein 15y agoI'm not sure exactly what you look for, but you can ask most Africans and they will recognize the difference.

- david927 15y agoThat's absolutely fascinating. I would be very interested to learn more.
- abhikshah 15y agoI would guess that any observed differences are from lifestyle (food type, amount of sun, exercise, beauty products, hair styles) rather than epigenetic differences. I haven't seen any papers where the phenotype of epigenetic changes is as clearly observable as "facial structure and skin".
