This guy was abandoned by his mother when he was 10 days old, at Gatwick airport, London. Now he desperately try to find his mother! judging by his appearance, what country is he from?

lol what is Aryan input?

The guy looks English to me.

The guy looks English to me.

In aherne lingo i think that means mostly nordid looking.

[Aviane]

Nordid.

He looks English but could also be Scadinavian, Frisian, Flemish or Nord-French.

[Kosovo je Sjrbia]

he looks British.

[Pallantides]

He looks English imo.

Based on his appearance I would guess his (biological) parents were British or Irish.

Actually, sometimes this physical type also appears among Celts (this guy can be a Gael, too), all virtue of the same Aryan component.

Why on Earth is he looking for her, to get abandoned again :grumpy:? Everybody can give a birth or make a baby, but not everybody can be parent, sadly :(

Aherne, I don't like the terms you're using to classify people. I made this post awhile ago but I'll post it again here.


There's no such thing as uniquely identifiable Celtic or Germanic genetic elements today (based on either physical anthropology or genetics).

Celtic and Germanic are both merely linguistic families and have quite a bit of genetic variability within each group.

Within the Celtic linguistic speakers for example, take for instance a Scottish Celtic speaker and a Welsh speaker. Though both are considered "celtic" they have considerably different genetic background. Read the book "Origin of the British" by Stephen Oppenheimer for information on their differentiating (Scottish are more Scandinavian influenced, while Welsh are strongly Spanish influenced) and commonalities (both derive from different percentages of similar founding populations, the Scot more from the east, and the Welsh more form the south compared to each other) concerning their genetic background.

^Notice the two seperate founding populations influencing the eastern and the western portions of the British Islands separately. (also notice how back when the British Islands were colonized Ireland is linked to mainland Europe without any water in between!) The majority of British genetics, over 2/3, is derived from these ancient founding populations today! (again read the book origins of the British for all this information)

Furthermore the genetic influence of Vikings into Britain is ONLY about 5%.

But that doesn't mean that Northern Germans are only 5% related to the British. In fact there are far larger links due to the fact that a considerable element came out of Germany into the Netherlands and on into the British Islands after the last Ice Age.

And lastly did you know that the common theory on the origins of the Celtic languages has it originating out of Southern Germany. The Danube river is named after the Celtic god Danu, or divine waters.

And to complicate matters even more did you know that Celts once stretched from Ireland to Ukraine to Turkey to Spain? Read the Wikipedia article about the Celtic people.

PS- The anglo-saxon classification, which may be confusing you, has more to do with skull morphology and phenotype rather than the small recent Viking expansion into England during the viking years.

All I'm trying to say is that within the Celtic speakers of Britain today there is HUGE genetic differences so there is no one Celtic look. The same can be said for German (or even Germanic) speakers. Both do however average differently in looks than each other- which I think you are noticing but I don't think you have noticed the large differences that exist within each group. When you say things like "Aryan components" that just throws me completely off- it's too general a word and (to my knowledge) has no concrete definition within physical anthropology.
