Alright, so I'm bored, and as such, I'm creating an amusing quiz.
In forensic anthropology they are often needed to help identify a victim. And one of the things that they are asked to identify is the ethnicity of the victim (when dealing with a skeleton.) But there are only a very few highly uncertain ways to determine ethnicity from the skeleton. One of the more notable, yet still uncertain is the shape of the eye sockets. So, what I'm going to do is to try to get you to guess what each (horribly drawn) skulls ethnicity is by their eyesockets.
So, here's the picture.

Your three options are: European, Oriental and African.
Also remember, in real life forensic anthropology, this is very iffy, as all skeletons are very similar!
Whoever gets it right can share these donuts!
