What article? Vacher De Lapouge (1854-1936) is the guy who "eveloped a
brutally Darwinist theory of superior, enterprising Nordic or Aryan
long-headed races (and dangerous Semitic long-headed races) and servile,
plodding Latin and Slavic round-headed races, classified by the ´cephalic
index.¡"

Another known racist. Don't trust anything he wrote.
You cannot tell someone's colour from their bone structure.

Again, old nonsense, way outdated.

Gayre, Editor and founder of the racist Mankind Quarterly, also had links
with the Northern League. " As a champion of South African apartheid and a
member of the ultra-right Candour League of white-ruled Rhodesia, he
testified in court in 1968 that black people as a group are "worthless.""

Any web page that uses claims like those I've commented on is clearly not
trustworthy.
Red hair can be found in people of a wide range of skin colour.
Facial features do not indicate skin colour.
