Lithuanians are closer to Estonians or other Balts than to Poles. They are Baltic people.

^Genetic map in thread about looks, brilliant

Though I agree they look closer to Estonians, only Lithuanians in area of Vilnius can look close to Poland for obvious reasons(mixing for a few generations or even some can be assimilated Poles). Lithuanians overall have strong CM component which make them more familiar to Estonians than to Poles, but still they don't really look as each of those groups.

I think Lithuanians have their own unique look and they are neither like Estonians nor Poles.

Afaik metrically Lithuanians should be closer to Poles although genetically (Ych) they cluster with E. Finno-Ugric peoples.

Pelaeoeuropid/Paleoasiatic el. in Latvians and Lithuanians is now rather blurred.


Lithuanian g. similiarity.

Interestingly proper Finns have distinct genetic profile

and do not cluster with
