Do Africans and African Americans have the same features just about? Like nose, eye shape, lips and so on?

Duh-ra-uhh, They're all Africans, it's just that the other Africans are American as well. They come from Africa. Same thang with Caucasian ppl, and i believe Europeans. Unless, your mixed with something.Do Africans and African Americans have the same features just about? Like nose, eye shape, lips and so on?
No. Africans themselves vary in facial features. There's people in South Africa the ';san'; tribe they have east asian eyes. People of East Africa like Somalis, Eritreans, Ethiopians look different from majority of black people.


So Africans and African Americans we're slightly different but not so much. If you look at me you wouldn't be able to tell whether I'm African or African American

some what
No ,most of us African Americans have been dilluted with White Blood.
Not all the time, they seem to look more exotic then other african americans.
not really, you can tell the difference
No. All african american don't even have the same features. It varies all together. Some black africans and african americans have the same type of nose, some have same lips, eye shape etc. and some have different. People within my own family have different features.





Edit* you should specify because you have white africans.
The difference between American black people and black people from Africa is that the American black people have been having children with black people originating from DIFFERENT PARTS of Africa for many generations. Additionally, there is often some white blood in the mix from way back when white men would 'use' black women for sex resulting in pregnancies.





As a result, US black people are just black (African American), but they don't look like they come from any PARTICULAR part of Africa.





Whereas with black people from Africa, it is usually possible to see which part of the continent they come from, e.g Southern Africa, East Africa, Somalia etc... Also different African tribes / nations have some distinguishing features like big straight nose, very thick lips, very tall or short, difference in skin colour (lighter, darker) etc.





People from Africa can usually recognise where on the continent other Africans come from, just like we in Europe can often take a good guess at who is from which part of the continent.





This possibility has been mostly lost in the US, since both black and white people have been intermarrying between different backgrounds.
yes!!!
Good question I want to say yes and no but I'm not completely sure





pure African/Islanders look way different from African Americans





yes we may share the say African Ancestry but are culture is different, Not all Africans/Black have southern roots.





Im seychellois and come from seychelles we tend to have higher cheek bones, small but full lips, some of us are mixed with chinese.








I think everyone has different feature some Caucasian people have small lips or full lips this depends on your genes, Not all black people have the same shape eyes/lips/nose








possible yes you could tell if someone was african, I cant describe it.
yea...








is this a trick question?!?!
I think it depends on your ancestry! Like whether or not you have mixed ancestry.
people look different in the north, mid and south of africa, so er no.
No mam. I can usually tell a African from a Black American. Black Americans are mixed with multiple races usually. I'm black for the most part lol but ppl confuse me for being Arab, hispanic, and Indian sometimes. Africans features differ from skin tone to facial structure and nose also..
Yes, though imo some of the African-Americans have been a little different to the Africans, not only because America's climate is different but also because in America they mixed with other races.
African American ancestors mainly come from West Africa, so their features are more apparent to the ones of Africans from that region. Africa is not a country it is a huge continent, with various tribes, ethnic groups, cultures. I do not think that African American resemble East Africans (Ethiopia, Sudan) or South Africans (Kenya, South Africa, Tanzania). Depending to which Africans you are comparing African Americans they may or may not resemble those Africans.
yes they all do. they are Africans after all
