Dang. I have the ridge at the base of my skull, and the wat you described with the teeth. This is a feature of Turkish ancestry??
The ridge is Turkish. The teeth thing, to my best understanding, is Melungeon, Asian or Indian.
"This is a feature of Turkish ancestry??"
And native American, and Asian. I wouldn't leap to conclusions, unless you're really into ancestry and have started coming across some of the surnames, and have tied them back to TN/NC/VA. They didn't leave much of a paper trail deliberately, these Melungeons, and they often moved quite frequently, which led to the pejorative association with Gypsies. Or, at least that has been my understanding, and I grew up in an area where a number of people who could be so described reside. It's probable that I have some Melungeon ancestry, but it's not an easy thing to prove, just as native American ancestry is not an easy thing to prove.
