Classify Mari man

[andrzej]

Turan stronk

Finno-Ugric*

[jamesb]

He looks like a finno-ugric, I bet he is probably y-dna haplogroup N. The most frequent paternal haplogroup of the Mari people is N1c, with about 49.5 percent of Mari males belonging to this haplogroup. R1a is the secong most frequent in the Mari, but he does not look like typical R1a phenotype because he is too short and not that robustly built, plus his hunched posture is unlike most R1a.

Phenotype =/= Genotype

[Zanzibar]

There are Ukrainians who get no more than 2% East Eurasian but look Central Asian. Phenotype is in no way a good indication of genotype, especially since East Eurasian features can be so dominant.

I get your point. It is noted.

The thing is Mari do really have around 30-32% East Asian ancestry on average.
