Sætersdalen in Aust-Agder, Norway.

[Pallantides]

I suppose that in Norway there was a lot of interbreeding. So this must cause a lot of
disease and psychotic deviations such as neurotism, autism etc. For example in the
Netherlands there are a lot of neurotic people with the Frisians.

Why are you saying this?
there has been little to almost no inbreeding in Norway and Scandinavia, even in the old days marrying from the same family was forbidden and frowned upon.

The most inbred people are Middle Easterners and North Africans.

The most inbred people are Middle Easterners...

That seems to be correct. Kuwait, Bahrain, Jordan, Syria, parts of Pakistan are the most inbred regions apparently.

However with Arabs, it seems to be a cultural thing. Tight close knit communities, with rigid feudal caste systems.

I read somewhere that the Danish Police claimed that inbreeding was on of the reason why they had so many problem with Muslim immigrants

Knulla wikipedia, knulla Sverige! LOOOL!

Ah, it suddenly becomes clearer to me how the founder of Skegness must have looked, back in Ninth Century Yorkshire...


Oooh, and here on our left I believe is a certain SuuTsdottir I've seen elsewhere!:

(Nordid girl on the right stands out from her neighbours! )

And here's SuuTr SuuTarssen himself:



I'm seeing a lot of faces that wouldn't look at all out of place in Northern England.







Especially this one:

This guy looks like one of my cousins

[Pallantides]

I found this intresting...

The relatively purest Nordic population of Norway lies in the Öster, Gudbrand, and Nume valleys, and also in the Telemark district, and in the Sete valley. The thickly wooded Tryssil district on the Swedish frontier has a predominantly East Baltic population; Ripley even ascribes to it a certain 'Mongolian' look.

according to Günther the purest Nordic stock can be found in Telemark and Setesdal, I assume Gudbrand is Gudbrandsdalen, Nume valley is Numedal and I have no idea what öster is.

[Jarl]

By Öster he probably means the Osterdal region, like C.S. Coon.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%98sterdalen

Østerdalene (Norwegian plural form) is the collection of valleys in the region, including the Trysil valley, Engerdal, Rendal and Glomdal.

I have no idea what öster is.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osterdal

Østerdalen or Østerdal is a valley and traditional district in the eastern part of Norway, consisting of the municipalities Rendalen, Alvdal, Folldal, Tynset, Tolga and Os in the north, Elverum, Stor-Elvdal, Engerdal,Trysil and Åmot in the south.

The upper river valleys of Norwegian rivers have distinctive names which are vestiges of earlier cultural distinctions such as building styles, traditional clothing or bunad and domestic crafts. The upper valley of the Glomma is the Østerdal (literally Eastern Valley, the -en ending in Norwegian corresponds to the definite article the in English).

Østerdalene (Norwegian plural form) is the collection of valleys in the region, including the Trysil valley, Engerdal, Rendal and Glomdal.

[Pallantides]

I know what Østerdalen is but nobody refer to it as öster, that is just Swedish for 'eastwards'

By Öster he probably means the Osterdal region, like C.S. Coon.

Trysil lies in Østerdal or Østerdalen as we usually call it.

The thickly wooded Tryssil district on the Swedish frontier has a predominantly East Baltic population; Ripley even ascribes to it a certain 'Mongolian' look.

Hedmark was home to many forest Finns who migrated to Norway in the 17th Century.
