A series by National Geographic...
Do you tend to use the words "typical" and "normal" interchangably?
typical: Of the nature of or serving as a type or representative specimen
normal: conforming to the standard or the common type; usual;regular
"Representative specimen"..."conforming to the standard"
By virtue of the fact that there are 9,000,000 men "of this type" they are typical. But, out of a population of 7,000,000,000...this is not the "normal" face we see every day. But then again, if you've watched the clip you know that even the makers of the video say that "typical is relative".
