The Jewish nose or Semitic nose is an element of the racial stereotype of the Jews.〔Beth Preminger, ("The "Jewish Nose" and Plastic Surgery: Origins and Implications" ), ''Journal of the American Medical Association'', 2001;286(17):2161. 〕〔("Nose" ), ''Jewish Encyclopedia'', 1906〕 Typical descriptions: "has a very slight hump, somewhat broad near the tip and the tip bends down" (Jerome Webster, 1914),〔 or "a large, massive, club-shaped, hooked nose" (Robert Knox, 1850).〔 The Yiddish slang words 'schnozz', 'schnabel', 'schnobel' for "big nose" derive from the German/Yiddish "Schnabel" for "beak". ==Hooked shape== Statistics cited in the article "Nose" from 1901–1905 ''Jewish Encyclopedia'' demonstrate that, contrary to the stereotype, the "hooked" nose in fact belongs to the minority (20–30%) of the Jews, with vast majority having straight noses.〔 Felix von Luschan suggested that arched noses in Jews is not a Semitic trait, but is a consequence of the intermixture with the Hittites in Asia Minor, noting that other races with Hittite blood, such as the Armenians, have similar noses.〔 The same theory was held by Houston Stewart Chamberlain.〔 (p. 394 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jewish nose」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
