How did Finns become white?

[The Blade]

Finns are mix of Uralic, Viking and Baltic blood. A lot of them look fully Euro but others (no matter if they are blonde and blue-eyed or not) clearly display Uralic admixture.

Even some Norwegians and Swedes can display Uralic traits. Look at Morten Harket. He is Norwegian.

Some Norwegians and Swedes will still score some East-Asian which I think means Uralic.

People say I have Uralic eyes, which I did get from my Norwegian mother. I score some East Asian.

I know they can display such traits (but much more rarely).

[Dr. Robotnik the Subbotnik]

Yeah, but remember there are Samis in Norway-Sweden too (and they've been there for a long time) a Swedish poster once told me Samis inhabited most of Sweden at one point and got pushed North. So even more southern Swedes could have obsorbed this blood.

[Proto-Shaman]

This has always confused me. The Finns are a Uralic group just like the Sami and Nenets, yet the Finns don't look Asiatic. Finns have one of the highest concentrations of blue eyes and blonde hair in Europe. How did dark skinned Asiatic folks turn into what they are today? I guess the same question could be applied to the Hungarians as well.
light hair and eyes among Europeans came from Uralic groups.

[Dr. Robotnik the Subbotnik]

Look at current President of SWEDEN Stefan Lofven:

Yes, I know this. However, percent-wise there are much more Finns, Lithuanians, Latvians or Russians who display Uralic admixture than Norwegians or Swedes, for example.

Lithuanians have the lowest East-Asian score in Europe, by the way. Latvians also have a very low score.

Finns score high for Europe, and Russians even higher in some parts. Norwegians and Swedes come after them I think.

With Lithuanians/Latvians an 'Uralic' look may actually just be Hunter-Gatherer thing (which they are the most of) I have heard Hunter-Gatherers were slant-eyed.

Slanted eyes are Mongoloid/Uralic trait. Hunter gatherers had deep-set eyes which is a different thing.
Deep-set eyes occur when you have a prominent brow bone and the eyes appear kinda "guarded". It gives one a rather
wolfish/predatory/primitive look (choose what you like - they are all used for this type of eyes). I myself have them. I have read they are also related to high testosterone levels. They can be seen among the more robust Aurignacids (Nordid, Corded, Atlanto-Med, etc.) though not that frequently as among Cromagnid types. I have read a theory that they had such eyes because physical clashes were much more common back then and prominent brow bones to some extent could defend your eyes.
A man with deep-set eyes is Fabien Pelous:

Slanted eyes, on the other hand, look like these:

No prominent brow bone over them, just a fold of skin falling.

I cannot determine which I have.

Also, Lithuanians have the first kind I think.

I have always been bothered on anthroforums about them - constantly being called 'mong'

Both shapes can be observed among Lithuanians.
These are, however, not deep-set.

I find that very strange. Lithuanians score the lowest East-Asian in all of Europe, at least on average. Maybe some score higher, and have Uralic in them?

You have interesting eyes, btw. They are not as slanted as those of the woman I posted (though a similarity can be found), neither are they deep-set.

I have been mistaken for 'half Chinese' once in real life.

I wonder if it is Uralic? I get them from my Mom's side which is Norwegian - they come from Oppland. Maybe Saamis.

Maybe.

[Dr. Robotnik the Subbotnik]

Maybe.

I score 2% East-Asian btw

Saamis themselves are 15-20% East-Asian I think

[Dr. Robotnik the Subbotnik]

could mean a Saami grandparent..

Yes, I am sure that this is only a minor element of your phenotype, so makes sense.

I guess the same question could be applied to the Hungarians as well.

They are not Asians! They are not a 50/50 mix either! Whatever the mixture from the Urals, at least 80% of their genes is from Northern Europe.

10.000 years ago Scandinavia and particularly Finland were still cover with huge quantity of ice.. and no human being was living there..so talking about genes from north europe is not correct.

Finns are not just like the Saami. More than 80% of their genes is from one single North - East European group. In the result, Finland is the blondest - haired nation on earth as a whole and so is slightly more blonde - haired than Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland, Estonia and Latvia. Finland in other words belong to the excessive blond group.
