Describing a nose that is relatively flat, broad, and low in height, often used in anthropological descriptions of facial features.
From Greek 'chamae' (low, flat) and 'rhis' (nose). This descriptive term was developed alongside other anatomical classification systems in 19th-century anthropology.
Different human populations developed varied nose shapes over thousands of years partly due to climate adaptation—broader, shorter noses are more common in humid climates where they don't cool air as much.
