I am Caribbean of West African descent, with a sprinkle of Levantine.
I know it’s complicated.

Yurrrrrrrrrr
I notice West Afrikans have two different distinct phenotypes
Upper West Afrika(Mali, Tchad, Senegal, Guinea, Sierra Leone) tend to have slim features. The Nilotics migrated after the fall of Kemet.
Reason why you may see some that resemble Horners. No coincidence.
Lower West Afrika tend to have thicker features/slanted eyes. Possible reason is the Igbo got that feature from the Khoisan. Along with the Bantu presence.

That is true to some degree.
