Why do many Lithuanians have mongoloid features?

[Borealis]

They look Siberian influenced. Is this true?

I cannot find pics similar to the Lithuanian people I saw in real life.

The N halpogroup predominant among many Siberians is quite common in Lithuania, comparable in frequency to R1a. This however does not mean Baltics and Siberids are close autosomally or phenotypically.

The Siberid type does not extend to the Baltic coast. Lappoid influence occurs but this is mostly sporadic today and when it does occur is not typically particularity significant.

Only a minority of Lithuanians could be said to be any more of a mongoloid influence on their phenotype than you would expect for East-Baltids which is not completely negliable but still relatively small compared to people closer to the Urals.

Full Epicanthal folds are not common among Baltics. When folds occur they are typically of the medial variety.

I suspect that you may be exaggerating the Mongoloid influence among Lithuanians and other Baltics.

Zero, actually.

Zero, actually.

Yet N1c is quite frequent in the East Baltic with a area of relative concentration in central Lithuania and in Kaliningrad.

Regarding Phenotype, The East-Baltid type was formed by the admixture of Baltics with Lappoids.

There is a distant connection it is just that the more recent Eastern European admixture is now dominant in Lithuanian autosmal genetics.

Don’t think so. Maybe in a minority of people.

[Vlatko Vukovic]

I personally never saw (even on Internet) the mongoloid features among Lithuanians.

It is only an exceptional minority of Lithuanians or Eastern Baltics that are more mongoloid that this East-Baltid type man.
