‘There are 14 types of noses’

Jul 13, 2011 - London |

You need to have a nose for this news — there’re 14 types of the vital organ on the human face, according to a researcher. Professor Abraham Tamir of Ben-Gurion University in Israel has completed what he claims is the first survey of its type to classify and record the different shapes of the human nose, the Daily Mail reported. This revealed that there are 14 types of nose, with classifications ranging from “fleshy” to “celestial”.
The most common, particularly among men, was the fleshy nose, best illustrated by Prince Philip, which featured on almost a quarter of all the faces studied. Writing in the Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, Prof. Tamir says those with such a nose are likely to be generous, emotional, helpful and sensitive.
