[Pallantides]

Nobody?

[Marino]

Alpinoid of the gracile form with Nordid influence most probably.

[Eldritch]

Alpinoid of the gracile form with Nordid influence most probably.

I agree. Rather unusual look for a Norwegian, in my experience.

[Franz]

I initially thought he looked High German or French. His paternal lineage is Scottish.

[Ugo Tognazzi]

totally looks like his mother who seems Nordid/Alpinoid with his father Borreby light bulb headshape

[Curtis24]

Gracilized Alpinid.

I agree. Rather unusual look for a Norwegian, in my experience.


Edvard Hagerup Grieg was born in Bergen, Norway on 15 June 1843. His parents were Alexander Grieg (1806–1875), a merchant and the American vice consul in Bergen, and Gesine Judithe Hagerup (1814–1875), a music teacher and daughter of Edvard Hagerup. He had very blaze-red hair. The family name, originally spelled Greig, has Scottish origins. After the Battle of Culloden in 1746, however, Grieg's great-grandfather traveled widely, settling in Norway about 1770, and establishing business interests in Bergen.

[Lars]

A god among men.

I think his short chin make people think that he has alpinid influences.

[Marino]

I think his short chin make people think that he has alpinid influences.

Not only; shape of skull and especially of forehead as well.

[Smeagol]

Borreby with Nordid admixture
