Would you agree that Danes and northern Germans don't look exactly the same?

[Watersater79]

I don't think I am talking out of my ass here. Even those from Schleswig-Holstein look kinda different from those further up the Jutland Peninsula or, ofc, in the rest of Denmark's islands. On a somewhat separate note, the Danes also seem to have a (slightly) higher % of Borreby types than in northern Germany. Despite that, the Danes seem to look more similar to the Swedes (not discounting the fact that said group is, as a whole, largely Nordid) than their immediate southern neighbors.

Danes have larger eyes and more robust and wide faces than Germans, i told you i used to work at a major airport and saw plenty of Scandinavian passengers, they didn't look that much like the German ones.

Danes look like southern Swedes

[Roy]

They don't but I don't think that's a popular claim either.

Danes look like southern Swedes

Yeah, more than Germans (including Northern Germans)

Dark hair is more common in Northern Germany than in Denmark.

Yes, they don't look same. Danes are immigrants from Scandinavia (southern Sweden) mixed with west Germanic locals in Jutland.
south Swedes from Scania are same people as Danes.

You aren't too sure, though, are you Oliver about what parts of Germany the tourists came from? The majority could have been from central or southern Germany, but even, the Danish girl I dated (my previous girlfriend) still would have looked atypical in Hamburg (which I visited in 2019). Granted, Hamburg is very cosmopolitan, but of the 'ethnic' German population there it is unlikely many would have come from afar. It's common knowledge as to how decentralised Germany is, with none of the urban centres resembling the sizes of Paris or London and all of them wielding a rather equal amount of productivity/wealth (ironically that excludes the rather 'poor' capital, Berlin). For that reason, one would imagine that Germans wouldn't move around much, not when there is a lack of economic necessity to. Most Hamburgers I met derived the vast majority of their ancestry from either said city or the immediate surrounding area. My cousin's wife is also a Hamburger; half of her family came from right up near the Danish border, but she still just looks 'German'.

I guess the Peninsula of Jutland is a bit more isolated from the rest of the northern German plain and isolation can undoubtedly cause genetic and phenotypical drift.

Danes are very blond (especially light blond) in a way Northern Germans are not.
