People of Scandinavia

[aherne]

I've just returned from a wonderful trip to Scandinavian countries and, to continue the tradition of previous posts, I wanted to share my anthropological observations about natives living there.

First of all, between East Norwegians (Oslo), Swedes (Stockholm) and East Danes (Copenhagen) there is absolutely no difference. They are obviously the same ethnic group, speaking dialects of same language, separated by absurd borders...

Pigmentation:
- everyone appears to be light eyed
- children are almost all blonde (half being platinum blonde) or light brown haired
- adults are somewhat darker haired, but various shades of blonde predominate

Racial features:
- indigenous CM types (Baltid/Borreby) are strongly predominant, mostly in gracilized form
- a Corded variety (that came with Aryan invasion) always mixed with above follows next
There are barely any other elements: the population seems to be extraordinarily homogeneous...

Body constitution: tall and athletic, but heavy at the same time. Like in Israel, men look better than women but gap is smaller. Overall, girls don't look that good thanks to a high CM input: the average is decent, though, because most have some Corded admixture that makes their features finer. Men, on the other hand, are good looking but not masculine (thanks to gracilization).

West Norwegians (Bergen) are somewhat different by having, once in a while, a third element:
- Near Eastern types (Alpine, Dinaric, Med) that came during Neolithic
and a consistently higher Corded input. I've seen some that looked generic Aryan...

East Danes (Aarhus) are the most different from all, laying somewhere between North Germans and Scandinavians. They are very similar to English people and evenly varied between the three elements mentioned above. So they are significantly more brunet but at the same time better looking (when I was there 4 years ago, I remember much better looking girls). The majority of adults is definitely not blond...

how about any MED influenced people or Nordo-Med types? can I pass as a native without being recognized as 'foreign'? (which country would be best fit for me)

[Norb]

was 'Baltid' higher than you expected and did you notice this more in males or females?

how expensive is it there? compare it to London (if you have been)

20 years ago ( in London ) i bought Camel cigaretts... they charged me ( if i remember well ) 6 pounds.. In Italy the cost of the same cigaretts was much lower ( much less than 50% maybe 1/3 ).
I remember that London was really expensive while the small cities and villages scattered around the countryside were not so expensive as London.. The different cost of life between London and "countryside" was huge...

You can pass same as me, as members of atypical "dark" minority. In Jutland we both pass very easily, however...

Females show it more than males, by virtue of having more gracile features.

Denmark was the cheaper one for such things. For both booze and cigarettes, that was why Swedes would often venture in to buy those. Prince were among the cheapest brand of smokes from what I remember. Everything else would've been around 10x more expensive than anything in the US. Maybe it's changed somewhat, I recall many in the old country feeling sore about recent smoking bans.
