Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Iceland by extension.

Given they're not Scandinavians, where would you guess them from?

Not my impression of scandinaviasn but most likely would pass... one guy looks british but as a group I would guess they were central european. Hungarian?

I would guess they are from the brittish islands..

Western Norway & Iceland they could pass.

Getting in there, before Palla says it.

Some of them have southern euro features, other (like the last one) seems from the deep east...

Very interesting assessment. They are all from the same one place by the way.

No. That would be too far-fetched. ;)

They are common for the region they are native to.

Some of them would look off, in my opinion, but almost all West Eurasian groups overlap to a certain extent.

They look French to me, by the way, East French in particular.

Woman number 5 looks ultra British lol. I'd guess they would, but more in the western parts. I'm guessing they are from somewhere in Britain but in the north or west. I guess they could be from Brittany in France as well, but i don't really know what people there look like tbh.

Two or three of them could pass in Scandinavia.

The woman on pic #5 looks very English, the man on pic #6 is arguably a stereotypical Frenchman...
But I cannot imagine those two gentlemen not being Italian:

My vote goes for Italy.

EDIT: Veneto, most possibly.

^That's interesting. The gentleman on the first picture is from Caen and has a surname (Lehugeur) that predominates in that region. The man on the last picture is from Ouistreham (I thought of you) and his surname (Tabourel) also predominates in that region.

All these people are from (Lower) Normandy (Caen to Ouistreham area).

Interesting guesses nevertheless (from British Isles to Northern Italy and even Hungary). My personal opinion is that a good chunk of them could pass in England before any other place (except their own Normandy and other areas in France of course).

Very interesting. Well the two areas are a similar mix, but in different amounts. Looking at them again a few would look out of place here but the majority would fit, so it makes sense that they are from northern France. :thumb001:

This is funny!
Hesitating between France and England suggested the right answer... But the last one still makes me invincibly think of Trieste or Padua (or even Slovenia)

The last one has an unusually up-turned palpebral slant (pseudo-Finnuit) to his eye-shape, but he still looks more West European to me.

They give me more of an English/Welsh vibe..


edit: I see the answer now. :)

Normandy & Brittany are practically south Britain. Or it's the other way round, we're an extension of those areas. :)

Normans are sometimes stereotyped for having big bad teeth.

None of them look particularly Scandinavian, but they'd probably pass.

I think all can pass in scandinavia!

Remember there are ALWAYS different shades and versions of one type anywhere in the world and all these people look like there are variants of the same strand more or less.

Baldur
12-24-2012, 05:28 PM
Yes i dont get the people that voted no, because the question is could they pass in Scandinava? So the people that voted no would think these people would stand out in Scandinavia? lol!

One more thing, Definitely Not should not be a choice here. "Maybe" or "Not Sure" would be better choices because all of them are obviously nordic or at least subnordid in their phenotype.

Two first two and the blonde elder lady would fit rather easily, the rest could fit but not very typical looking. More British or Dutch IMO.

They look as a group somewhat between English/Welsh and French. What are they?

Somewhere from the north sea at least

French from Normandy.

My first thought was "cherry-picked Southern Euros or something". They do have that vibe. Normandy is an interesting twist.
