In this thread, I will be discussing three differences among the 3 main skull types. African, Asian, and Caucasian. The differences I am discussing will include the Orbitals, Nose & Maxilla, and Mandible.
The original name for these skulls are Negroid, Mongoloid, and Caucasoid. These terms are relatively outdated - so these will not be used for the sake of this thread. Here are the 3 skulls. You'll be able to notice differences in almost every feature.
I labelled a map (first one) to show where each skull type is found. It's flawed, but I believe it's accurate for the most part.

Please note that most things said in this thread about the Asian skull do not apply to Native Americans. Mainly East and South East Asians.
Black - African. Yellow - Asian Red - Caucasian.
Or you could refer to this map instead.
African - Oceanian and African
Asian - East Asian and Native American
Caucasian - European, Middle Eastern, South Asian

Part 1 - The Nose & Maxilla
Take a look at the Asian skull (middle), compared to the African and Caucasian skull. The Vomer Bone can see seen inside the nose. The Vomer Bone alters the way a nose is shaped.
This bone typically deviates in different people (of the same race), except people with the Asian skull. This is why Asian people have very similar nose characteristics, while Caucasians and Africans nose varies greatly in shape. Lucky them.
Find "Vomer Bone"
Now for the maxilla, Asians tend to lack forward growth, having recessed maxillas. Africans generally have the most forward growth, due to their bimaxillary prognathism.
Caucasians tend to have decent forward growth on average, but again, it varies greatly. Caucasians can have the level of forward growth of both skulls, but the same cannot be said about African and Asian skulls.
Side Profile of an African, Asian, and European Male
What causes Asians to lack forward growth, or that "flat face" look? Take a look back on the Vomer bone. We can see that the Asian skull has a longer and straighter vomer, which causes the Radix to appear pulled back/recessed. If Asians were to lower the radix, they'd immediately become "normal", done with this surgery.

Part 2 - The Mandible
As I mentioned before, the African skull has not only maxillary, but also mandibular prognathism. Caucasians also can slightly suffer from this, but not nearly to the extent of Africans. Mandibular prognathism is also common in Asians, which is brutal when paired with a recessed maxilla.
Maxillary vs Mandibular Prognathism
On average, Asians have the shortest mandibles. Caucasians come in second place, and Africans have the longest mandibles due to prognathism. Prognathism is caused by their wider nasal passages for heat and airflow adaptation, and strong chewing forces from fibrous diets.
The Gonion
These mandibles also have different a different tilt of gonions. As seen clearly in the mandibles of the 3 skulls, the Caucasian skull has the most outward tilt. Africans come in second place, while the Asian's gonions are tilted the most inward.

Part 3 - The Orbitals
The Orbitals are arguably what defines your eye area rather than soft tissue or skin. Take a look at the orbitals of the Caucasian skull (right). They are clearly more rectangular and smaller overall compared to the African and Asian skull.
Caucasian orbitals are ideal as they indicate a good eye shape, minimal scleral show, amount of hooding, and brow placement. Let's take a look at the average eye area of each race.
Right off the bat, we can spot a few distinct differences. Africans tend to have higher set brows and "sunken" orbitals. Asians also have high set brows, except they have monolids, a type of upper eyelid that lacks visible crease or fold. Caucasians on the other hand, are the only one's to have True Almond Eyes.
Here's what it looks like when Africans and Asians are gifted with almond eyes.
Real almond eyes are actually very rare among people without Caucasian skulls. These eye areas obviously look a lot better than the previous pictures. Real almond eyes as an ethnic is an INSANE halo to have. Consider yourself extremely lucky if you have real almond eyes as an African or Asian.
TLDR
- Africans show excessive forward jaw growth (bimaxillary prognathism), long mandibles, and sunken orbitals.
- Asians show a deviated radix, recessed maxilla, high set brows, short mandibles, and monolids.
- Caucasians show versatile forward growth in the mandible and maxilla, outward gonions, and almond eyes.
