Anthropology of Romanians

[aherne]

This will be a scientific study for the anthropology of Romanians, based on photos of late high schoolers in each geographic region. I always use them for classification because their features are least affected by aging (they look at their best), so their features are as sharp as they will ever be.

I will only exclude Dobrudja, because Romanians there are generally descendants of recent immigrants (mostly from Transylvania) that came after the region was annexed in late 1800s.

Banat Region

Here Romanians are at their darkest, approaching North Italian average. Slavic influence exists in some individuals (20-30%), but most don't exhibit any... Interesting that they are neighbors of Serbs, but definitely don't look SW Slavic

I don't think, that the teenagers would be the best example for the classification or anthropological studies. Could you use rather young adults, but the features of some phenotypes are more visible in older age.

With Gods grace, may they one day grow into strong Alpines and Pontids with a slight Dinarid influence

Banat was heavly german influenced, its very interesting that its the darkest region of Romania.

They look basically like central Euros mixed with eastern and more southern elements, don't pass as Londoners anyway.

The Pontid, Alpinid and Dinarid influences are the most frequent, but also there are Baltids, a few Borrebys and Nordids.

Do you find these similar to Serbs or Hungarians?

There was very little admixture with Germans. Banat and Oltenia are the darkest, followed by Muntenia... The lightest are people in Crisana region near Hungary and even more so northern/eastern historical Moldova (massive admixture with East Slavs)

Im from Banat too, Serbian Banat. Novi Becej

Many hungarian influences in vojvodina in general, it says this is my varos, novi becej, i think varos is hungarian word for town or city
