Do you notice Northern Europeans have smaller eyes than Southern Europeans? (Greek, England)

A mediterranean look it's not only black hair and dark eyes, also some specific facial features and body shapes, not really common in UK.

How many 'eye size' threads does city-data really need?

Trick question. The answer is 'zero'.

For what it is worth, which is also 'zero', I have always thought that eye size got smaller as you go south in Europe contrary to the common opinion expressed here. On the other hand, people with light colored eyes tend to squint more in bright sunlight perhaps making their eyes appear smaller to Australians who are cursed with abundant cancer-causing rays.

Ok, I hadn't understood the question. So it is : which europeans have the most "asian" eyes...The facebook map is interesting, but I didn't see any informations about the samples and the method.

Northern Europeans may have anthropologically developed that way to deal with the harsher elements up there. Who knows?

It says right below the map that it is based on 'guesstimation'.

As for the most "asian" eyes, then It would be finns without a doubt followed by eastern/northern russians. There are also many groups of uralic and lappid populations across scandinavia, particularly in the northernmost areas.

Then your eyes must be smaller than Mongolians or you're just not very observant, or refuse to acknowledge something because you fear it would make you a white supremacist.

When Sean Connery was young no, now maybe could pass. Zeta Jones depends on the picture, but in mostly no.

Eyeballs are actually the same size, it's the eye opening that varies to make eyes deep-set or almond shaped or look like golf balls.
