Comment on The ancient Greeks or Chinese should have already had words for this.

Thats so weird! As I was reading one of the other comments I realized that I can almost live in the fantasy world of a book, but no one has a distinctive face…

Yep, this is my club. Also, I can only remember few faces of people I went to high school with. Others are just blurred to central attributes.
Other thing is, for long I noticed that peoples faces fall in distinct groups according to their appearence even though they are not related. I always thought that they had a similar distant ethnic background and that genes relating to appearance had a type of “quanta” that can’t be completely diluted, which causes faces to fall in groups.
Now I’m starting to realize that it’s just me and my face-blindness averaging my memories of peoples appearances, creating those groups.
