Why do many Saami look white even though they are not

[Östsvensk]

I think that Norwegian and Finnish Saami are more mixed with Norwegians/Finns. I've read that the Swedish Saami are the most Mongoloid. But there are also degrees. I believe that the Swedish user Mazik had a grandfather who was a South Saami and his grandfather did not score more Siberian than do Finns (5-6%).

Because Saami people are mixed , antoher looks more nordic other looks more Euro- Mongoloides .

Ingman and Gyllensten (2007) included data about the mtDNA haplogroups of Saami from Västerbotten, divided into those who practiced a traditional lifestyle and those who didn't. Particularly those who didn't practice a traditional lifestyle seem mixed. Southern Saami and Ume Saami live in Västerbotten, and Pite Saami and Lule Saami live in Norrbotten.

If that's true, then why can facial phenotypes be calculated and predicted on computers using genetics?

Uzbeks and central asians in general have a large proportion of genetic admixture in common with Europeans, around 30%, and are very heterogeneous from town to town.

Maybe I should phrase it to "phenotype does not always equal genotype". You are indeed correct, but there are certain exceptions such as many Kazakhs/Kyrgyzs who look pure Mongoloid despite having somewhere from 25-40% Caucasoid admixture on average. Or how some Latin American Harnizos can look like any other South Euro despite having around 30-40% Native American admixture.

Central Asians are indeed very varied and it has to do with their genetic compositions.

The majority of them are not mixed though. I think this woman is fully Saami.

I think you are right. I guess it shows how weak Mongoloid genes can be. Another example is this Saami man from Norway. He is around 21-22% East Eurasian but looks fully Euro. He doesn't seem to have recent Norwegian ancestry either so his White looks must be a look that is already found among pure Saamis.
