have you noticed that a lot of somalis have a mouth that is shaped in a way that leaves their teeth visible

 

[darklight]

The majority of Somalis have pretty much similar facial features, such as narrow-average noses, dark, curly hair, upper black lip lower black lip etc, however each Somali degan has something that's unique-ish to them or is typically associated with that region(i.e height, skin colour, hair type etc)

Waqooyi = average height, brown/light skin, high cheekbones and curly hair
Galbeed/NFD = Tall, high cheekbones, slim and brown/light skin
Koonfur = Average/short height, round face, dark brown to light brown skin and curly to frizzy hair
Bari = Average height, long face, dark brown to light-ish skin and curly hair
Djibouti/W.Galbeed = Small and slim, short to average height, dark brown to brown skin, curly hair
Coastal people = Slim, average height, straight to curly hair and dark brown skin

Slim nose curly hair and skinny bones

Idk about typical, but these epitomize the Somali phenotype. Dark skin, soft hair and narrow features. Most of us (myself included) look like mutts compared to these phenotypically superior Samaalians.

 

[Daytona6000]

usually tall, slim, brown to dark, tall forehead, pronounced cheekbones...

I've mentioned this before, it's because of the lack of dentists back home.

what about the ones in the west? if they have it too then it's genetic

You're talking about the stereotypical overbite. It's easy to clock the Somalis who have had the luxury of dental care and the ones that didn't care much for it and/or have never been inside a dental practice.
