Mixed or Unmixed? In my opinion, Alessandra could pass unnoticed in Italy but Gisele would not in Germany...

What do you think, and how would you classify them?

Thanks!

Alessandra Ambrosio (Polish and Italian):

Both would pass unnoticed in Italy respectively Germany.

Gisèle Bündchen seems to be Norid (fair pigmented Dinarid) straight, which is a very common type in Southern Germany.

From wiki:


Bündchen is a sixth-generation German Brazilian

They are both of full European descent.

Alessandra is Italian mixed with Polish, I believe.

Except of the hyper make-up, Alessandra has nothing of strange.

According to gens, the surname is neapolitan (southern italian)

I disagree though with Gisele... in this photo:

I think she does not look European so much - possible African influence?

I can sort of see a Native influence in the eyes (though that may just be the Baltid side of her ethnicty)

I think she looks like a typical German Catholic of which there are plenty in the United States Midwest. Without African influence.

I disagree. I think facially she looks very un-German - a lot more Dinarid-influenced than most Germans I can think of (Heidi Klum for example is same coloring but has very Germanic features) - I see some foreign influence in her nose and mouth.

Another German-Brazilian model such as Ana Hickmann is undoubtedly German (with no admxiture).

You're wrong:

Ana Lúcia Hickmann Corrêa

Gisele Caroline Nonnenmacher Bündchen

And it shows in my opinion:

Correa is her husband's surname...

é descendente de alemães sendo a mais velha de cinco irmãos e teve uma infância simples no interior do Brasil.

You're right, my mistake. Still, Gisele looks more german to me than Hickmann.

That says also on Bundchen's wiki...

She looks like a prettier Steffi Graf if you think about it.

Similar, but there's still something "off" about Gisele that I've never been able to put my finger

It´s easy to say some one has "native influence" with such cherry picked photos of a person smiling like that. The cheekbones rise and make the eyes look smaller. Anyone with high cheekbones and almond shaped eyes can look "native". I´ve had people on another anthropology forum tell me I look "Amerindian influenced" in photos where I am smiling, even though both of my mom´s parents and all 4 of my father´s grandparents were born in Europe. I guess people´s perception of you changes as soon as they find out you are Brazilian. A Greek friend of mine posted my photos on a Balkan forum without revealing my nationality. There, my eyes and cheekbones were classified as "Slavic looking" LOL. Some one else said I looked Turkish... yet another guessed "Russian mixed with Tatar". People make all sort of crazy assumptions when they are grasping at straws.

Both look N. Italian. Ambrosio would not look Southern Italian and Gisele would not look north German.

moral of the story: when getting a classification on a race board, only pay attention to the opinions of the most experienced, well established members.

On this forum, that would be Saruman, Geist, Agrippa, Clementina, and some others.

I do not believe they're mixed, the fashion industry try to make the models look as exotic as possible. Because they are from Brazil, still, I wouldn't put up the question if they are mixed or not.

Nothing Baltid. Just Atlantid with Cromagnid influence IMHO.

If you had set your timezone to somewhere in Europe and not had flags, you probably would have been guessed differently. Flags always influence classification.

They both have visible Cro-Magnon admixture, especially in their eyes, cheeks, and jawlines.
