Kenya? South Africa? Madagascar?

Maybe one of those 3?

She looks San (Bushman) but maybe she is from another East or South African ethnicity.

Well the image tag does say "SE Asia", so I'd say Indonesian.

I put that in to throw people.

That is, in fact, a San Bushman woman. You were right Maju.  If you want to know what your distant relatives looked like 60,000 years ago, you can stop with the San Bushmen.

Maju: the eyelid fold (whatever the correct name is for it), is a trait quite prominent among these people.  They also have the high cheekbones associated with Mongoloids.  So this answers the point about the folded eyelid within populations all around the world.

Click the link and select 60,000 years for more info on the San Bushmen.

bushmen are probably a mix of people from madagascar and the locals. seeing as how indonesians sailed to madagascar, i dont see it out of the realm of possibility that they also went on shore to the mainland and intermarried. The epicanthal fold has is scientifically accepted as a cold climate trait, which the bushmen would have inherited from the madagascar-indonesian sailors,,, who in turn got it from their cousins in NE Asia

Do you know anything about Genetics, Kermit? Bushmen have the oldest lineages of humanking both paternally and maternally. They are descendant from no one except their own lineage.
