    Default Classify some Amish Men, have they developed their own phenotype and where can they pass in Europe?

    The Amish are completely isolated from the average American gene pool due to their beliefs, they won’t have children with anyone who isn’t Amish (sometimes even anyone who isn’t in their particular Amish group). They speak their own language, have their own schools, church districts, towns, the only time they interact with outsiders is for business. A group of 500 arrived in the U.S in the 1700s from The Palatinate, Germany. Another group of 1500 arrived in the mid 19th century, mostly from the Palatinate and Alsace but also a few from Switzerland. Today there are over 350,000 of them living in the U.S, mostly Germans from the Palatinate, about 25,000 of them are decedents from the group in Switzerland. I realized that as I looked through a few of these photos some of the Amish seemed to look pretty peculiar, as if they had their own “look” about them. What do you think? Do you think that after hundreds of years of isolation these Amish have started to develop their own phenotype?

    Most Amish are south German(Pennsylvania German) derived, they look like inbred South Germans I guess.
    The Guanche skulls as a whole are unlike those of modern European Mediterraneans, and resemble northern European series most closely, especially those in which a brachycephalic element is present, as in Burgundian and Alemanni series.
    divided them into clearly differentiated types, which include a Mediterranean, a Nordic, a "Guanche," and an Alpine. The "Guanche" accounts for 50 per cent of the whole on the four islands of Teneriffe, Gomera, Gran Canaria, and Hierro; the Nordic for 31 per cent, the Mediterranean for 13 per cent, and the Alpine

    As I mentioned, the vast majority of the Amish have ancestry from The Palatinate, a few are Swiss and a small amount are from Alsace. I wouldn’t say they are inbred, their perculiar looks are more to do with the fact that they came from a pretty small founder population rather than An intentional enclosed pedigree

    Yes of course they are in-bred. They have been mixing with a small genepool for a while. I would like to see a genetic study on them. I haven't looked and I would be surprised if there hasn't been at least some genetic studies done on them. But they would of course be in-bred. The Irish Travellers, for example, became isolated from the majority Irish in 400 years so I'm sure the Amish are similar.
