Classify me (mixed scandinavian), please

[scandoblando]

Please answer these questions:

1. Where can I pass?
2. What subracial traits do you spot in my phenotype?

I'm of mixed Swedish ancestry. my Cephalic Index is 77

[Pallantides]

Swedish+Sámi?

[Virtuous]

pred.Sami ofc.

[scandoblando]

Swedish+Sámi?

An interesting observation. I've heard this before from a latin american immigrant, lol

Well, geographically speaking you're not completely off for one branch of my family, but neither DNA testing nor church records show any sign of saami admixture within the past few centuries.

[scandoblando]

By the way, what is it about my appearance that gives me a saami vibe? I do suppose the eyes make me look at least pseudo-lappid, but is there more?

[Neanderthal]

The Lappoid is strong on you. Ladogan + Nordoid.

[rashka]

I don't think your other half is sami.

[Pallantides]

The Lappoid is strong on you.

He is worthy.

It was just guess and I was certain I'd hit jackpot... but seems I was wrong:)


How about Finnish+Swedish?

[Lux Aeterna]

Intresting phenotype. Not that uncommon in Northern Sweden.

Good to hear, my fellow somewhat mongoloid-looking scandinavian :D





It was just guess and I was certain I'd hit jackpot... but seems I was wrong:)
So no specific part then? Just the overall appearance? :)

Nope, still not right. I'm a mix of geographical extremes within modern day sweden. Mainly from Norrland (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norrland), though (hence the part-saami classification wasn't entirely geographically unplausible). Almost half of my ancestors were from coastal areas of modern day Götaland (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6taland)

[Pallantides]

Norrland and Skåne?

[scandoblando]

Norrland and Skåne?

Not entirely, but partially yes. Northern Norrland, SW Skåne and (even more recently and to a greater extent) eastern Blekinge

I'm quite phenotypically mixed, with at least nordid, borreby and baltoid phenotypes among my regionally unmixed ancestors. The mixed part of the family tend to look quite odd, with many common features put together into one rather strange mix. I feel like a scandinavian version of latin american tri-racials :laugh2:

[Äike]

Lappoid

[scandoblando]

There seems to be consensus about my lappoid phenotype. :)

However, I wonder if there are parts of it that are visibly non-lappoid

The Lappoid dominates very heavily in your look.

[tEhSaint]

pred. Cromagnoid (ÖstEuropid) + Atlantid.

[Lemon Kush]

Mongoloid. (Lappid) Textbook example of one.

[DebtCollector]

Not predominantly lappid, influenced by at max. Lappids have short and wide faces, and less soft characteristics (except the women).

This picture captures essential lappid characteristic pretty well

I strongly suspect that you are trolling, or you are just very misinformed.:coffee:

[sevruk]

mix Cromagnid + Lappoid. This look specific Scandinavian, you will not see it from the Finno-Ugric peoples in Russia

[Lemon Kush]

I strongly suspect that you are trolling, or you are just very misinformed.:coffee:

Is he Balto-Cromagnon (Kurganoid) + Lappid then?

[finþaų]

Definitely not pred. Lappoid. Have you people never seen what a Lappid is supposed to look like?

Lappid skull on the right:

Lappid with minor Nordoid on the left:

The Lappid craniofacial configuration is not similar the subject of this thread in the slightest.

[Pallantides]

He is obviously not a Mongoloid, I doubt he have East Eurasian admixture in any significant percentage.

That's the skull of an infant Saami or so I heard.

[Virtuous]

I like how everyone suddenly yelled LAPPID as soon as he told us he's got no Sami in his DNA :coffee:

[finþaų]

It is quite obvious in which direction is will develop in any case. :)

[Lemon Kush]

I know that Lappids have very broad faces, but his eye shape threw me off.

[Pallantides]

Anyway I didn't say he looked Lappid, I only guessed he could be Saami, two different things.

[aherne]

If you were Latin American, you would be seen as a mestizo. I would classify you as extreme Uralic. That's how people imagine Finns to look like, but few do...

[scandoblando]

Anyway I didn't say he looked Lappid, I only guessed he could be Saami, two different things.

Yes, and I do think it's a reasonable guess. These very predominantly european looking Saami do have eye shapes that are somewhat similar to yours and mine, yet I don't think they look like pure Lappids:

Here are some of my regionally unmixed and oddly somewhat lappoid-eyed ancestors from the southern coast of Sweden:

http://i1272.photobucket.com/albums/y392/Scandob/foumlrf3_zpsb53a5b06.png

My northern ancestors seem to be more north atlantid, nordid and strandid, and I doubt there's any saami/mongoloid origin. The phenotypes of my southern ancestors is something of a mystery to me.

[finþaų]

Moderate "Lappoids" naturally exist in South Scandinavia too, just that they are much more common in the North as they are a heavily borealised (rather than Mongolid proper) European stock.

Your great palpebral slant could be due to mere individual variation.
