I came across this website. Basically, 100 pictures are taken of people’s faces (in a single city/location) and then some sort of algorithm is used to estimate what the average person born of this gene pool would look like many generations down the line. It seems to have been borne of the contrast between the heterogeneity in more modern metropolises like London and the seeming racial uniformity (or “coalesc[ing] around a mean”) of Istanbul, a one-time metropolis of diverse races. There are only a few cities in but they welcome (including instructions) contributions.
