Rural life in south Norway at the dawn of the 20th Century.

Jarlsson does , he is from Bergen.

Well he is a Bergenser, not a lowly peasant son from east Norway like me.

I found this advertisement while looking for Norwegians - I dont know where they come from, but those are Nordeuropid people with Skandonordid, Dalofaelid and intermediate phenotypes mostly:

Dalofaelid, Nordid (standard), Nordid (approaching Trønder somewhat)

Nordid male, child and female:


In your thread about the people of Valle most males are in the very same variation.

Here more modern examples from a sample of people crossing a place, I think in Oslo:
A) Pred. Nordid:








Trønder-Nordid:



B) Dalofaelid-Nordid or Dalofaelid:




C) Cromagno-Alpinoid:




In this sample all were quite progressive, harmonious and attractive, probably because of the place, social type or selection of the photographer, I dont know. But still they show the basic variation in Norway with Nordid, Dalofaelid and Cromagno-Alpinoid.

If such variants like A) are rare in your area, I dont know...

most of them are common, but so other phenotypes, I don't believe Nordid's are an exterme majority in our population even though it's more dominant here than anywhere else.





























Tore Tvedt the leader of Neo-Nazi group Vigrid is not exactly a picture perfect Nordid himself.

I had the last word in that thread.


Do Norwegians tend to be a bit shorter and darker than Swedes in general?

Indeed.The Swedes are lighter generally.
Top 10 light nations are, by Lysenko:

1. 1 Swedes
   2 Norweges
   3 Iclandese
   4-6 Danes Estonians Finns
   7-8 Latvians Dutch
   9 10 Lithuanians Belarussians
   11 Poles (before Germans
   12 German

...13 Russians

I'd add the Irish, and then the Scottish and the English somewhere at the top

The English are lighter than both the Scottish and Irish overall. Ireland has a prominence of light-eyes but that's at least offset by the darkness of hair and sometimes skin.

This is an interesting thread. I'm sometimes told I'm 'dark' for an Englishman, and that may be so but I'm still English/Dutch by ancestry. There seems to be a similar 'dark' contingency among Norwegians which is not considered non-indigenous nor anomalous and I wouldn't look as out-of-place in Norway as I'd expected. Just proves that there is variation across all of Europe - north to south and people's presumptions about 'blonde' belonging north and 'dark' belonging south are misguided. It's not as simple as that and ones phenotype should never be the soul-decider of where one belongs.

I believe Finland have the most light blonde and blue eyed people.

Good post. Fantastic pics of old Norway.

Obviously Norway is a mixed country overall, but Nordid phenotypes and generally variants like I posted them are more common than what you posted in your last thread, because going after that, Cromagno-Alpinoid being No. 1 and Lappoid No. 2 in Norway and I dont think thats representative.

Its interesting to have such a sample of "the other Norwegians" too, but they are in no way more representative.

If I had to pick a single male and female exemplar of the Norwegian Racial mean, They would be...

Øyvind Korsberg:



And Sissel Kyrkjebø:

Actually the people are fairly common, as much as the examples you posted.
Just one the buss today I saw a myriad of Alpines, Trønders, West Baltid and East Baltid types and they were all Norwegians.
There are many false sterotypes about Norwegians, the idea that a majority are nordid is one of them, theories created by armchair nordicists that probably hadn't even visited Norway or were extremely biased in their studies.

























I could go on forever and ever.

What Agrippa is trying to illustrate is the Racial mean of our country. And being born and bred in Oslo, myself, I would ask for a definition of "fairly" common, as without averages/ratios, this does not mean a whole lot. There simply is no doubt whatsoever that Norway is a country of Nordiform Cromagnoids with a prepoderance toward Nordoid when considering averages.

You asked them all for their papers, did you?

More obscure/aberrant racial types, whilst extant in Norway on the Racial periphery, have bled into urban areas only in the last 20 (or so) years seeking non-agricultural work. And, in no way represent the Racial mean.

Do not take this the wrong way, but you are in your early 20's, yes?
