Would you agree that Danes and northern Germans don't look exactly the same?

[Richard Alvarez]

Btw not all Northern Germans look the same. People from Mecklenburg-Vorpommern tend to have a bit more Slavic influence and are probably closer to Polish people than to the Danes and Dutch.

Danes look like southern Swedes

I can see the difference between Danes and Southern Swedes.

Nonsense, no Germans look very unslavic generally, i don't see Germans who look that Polish.

I guess the Peninsula of Jutland is a bit more isolated from the rest of the northern German plain and isolation can undoubtedly cause genetic and phenotypical drift.

It wasn't isolated at all, but simply Danes came from Scandinavia and mixed with older north German like people.

On average they are not. That region is very Germanic. Slavic looking north Germans come from Pomerania and east Prussia, and they have tons of Balto-Slavic DNA.

I wouldn't say so.

I wouldn't say so.

Would you say those in Schleswig-Holstein look any different to those in Niedersachsen? From my understanding, it's as if people start to look Danish the moment you cross over the border. I wonder if there is any phenotypical difference between those on the mainland and the islands; only around half of Denmark's population actually resides on the Jutland Peninsula with the remaining half residing on the country's 1,419 islands.

Im surprised it's half, i thought Jutland was super rural

Approximately 3,000,000 reside on the people on the Jutland Peninsula and that's just in the Danish part.

Germany had a lot of internal migration, plus post-WWII refugees amounted for like 30% in Schleswig Holstein, so natives probably didn't look too different, but now you can see some difference.
