Western Swedes

[Östsvensk]

Okay, a lot of threads about Norwegians here, so maybe I'll give them some competition.

Old anthropologists (as well as Agrippa) usually said that Western Swedes have more Nordid or "Germanic" looks than other Swedes in general, which is why I decided to post examples from this region. However, not all the examples are Nordid, but can also be Dalofaelid/Cromagn(o)id or have such influence. Of course no local ancestry is proven either, but they look quite "Western Swedish" in general, so I just post them.

All of these are from small communities in Värmland:

It is not my logics at all. It is the old anthropologists (and Agrippas) logics.

In Swedish (Sorry, but you can always use Google Translator ) :

De ljusa delarna på kartan representera de landskap, i vilka mer an 10 % av befolkningen förete rent nordisk typ. De dubbelstreckade landskapen i norr (d.v.s. Lappland, Norr- och Västerbotten) åter ha en befolkning, som är starkt uppblandad. I de tvärstreckade områdena, som utgöras av Gottland, Skåne, Halland, Blekinge och Ängermanland, förekommer också en rätt starkt uppblandad befolkning. I mindre grad gäller detta om de vertikalt streckade landskapen. I stort sett kan man säga, att de delar, som ligga på gränsen mot Norge, ha att uppvisa en renare svensk stam än landets nordliga och sydliga delar samt kusttrakterna i öster, om man frånräknar Södermanland och Öland.

Males from Värmland and Dalarna then:

Dalarna as Western Sweden! Dude, it is Svealand as you get, the same goes to Värmland.. How it is Western Sweden?



I still did not understand this anthropological logic!

Dalarna itself borders Norway, as far as I know. Of course it is a very big landscape, so you might have a point.

But the light landscapes, except Västmanland, Södermanland and Örebro, are western, aren't they?

They could be central Scandinavia it counting with Norway!

Dalarna and Värmland are western Svealand, plus Västmanland, Södermanland and Örebro eastern Svealand ! Seriously Svealand is currently almost in the center of Sweden... Okej, I hope to have got the your point, anyway!
