The collection of material took place in two stages: working directly with the subject and working with photographs. Measurements of the parameters of the head and face of the subjects in the field in both cases were carried out according to the classical method of V.V. Bunak, adopted in the Russian anthropometric school. Photographing in portrait and in profile was carried out taking into account the recommendations for the production of anthropological photographs. Further, the dimensions in pixels were calculated from the photographs, and converted into mm using one indicator, which was measured both in the field and from a photograph (the distance between the canines for the Chilean sample, and the width of the nose for the Altai ones).

During the twentieth century, the processes of the formation of macro-ethnic communi-ties, such as, for example, the Chileans and Peruvians, were actively taking place in South America. The complex ethnogenesis of the countries of South America is the reason for the variety of anthropological types found in the studied countries. The population of both studied countries was formed in the process of mestization, but this process affected the regions of the west coast of South America to varying de-grees. The different ratio of the Amerindian and Caucasian components in the population of Chile and Peru led to the formation of different anthropological types, which are described in this article for the first time. Materials and methods. The work is based on the results of measurements of the head and face and the analysis of photographs among students of public universities in the cities of Santiago, Arica and Cuz-co. The analysis included measurements of 391 men and 164 ...

This biological anthropological study focused on facial metric traits of the living people. We studied the Spanish-speaking Chileans – descendants of Spaniards who arrived in the 16th century and over the centuries mixed with the native population. Immigrants from Europe, Asia and America who arrived in Chile in 20th century and did not mix with Spanish-speaking Chileans are not included in the study, neither are their descendants. Since the immigration of Haitians, Colombians and Dominicans, as well as residents of neighboring countries - Peru, Bolivia, Argentina - has increased in the recent decades, it is clear that the anthropological composition of the Chilean population will change over several generations, so this study is of particular interest. An analysis of the data set against the background of variability of the indigenous populations of the Americas showed that the studied Chilean sample differs from all aboriginal groups, including those closest geographically (Peru). At the same time, the closest groups, based on facial traits, was a mixed sample of US citizens. If anthropologically contrasting Eurasian samples are included into the multivariate analysis, proximity of modern population of Central Chile with the groups from the Mediterranean region is revealed.
