Do you find Swedes and Norwegians similar looking to Germans, or no?

What Denmark is known for

Do Danes cluster genetically closer to Germans or to Norwegians and/or Swedes?

I found a genetic map of Europe, and although this map may be a bit outdated (it was made some years ago), it shows Denmark overlapping more with northern Germany than with Norway.



As you can see, there are two groups named "DE", and I suppose one is southern Germans and the other northern Germans. My problem with the map is that Norwegians overlap with the Dutch, Irish and people of the British isles, but not with the Swedes! So, I don't know the accuracy of it.

I think when comparing individuals, most Germans could fit in Scandinavia and vice versa.
But for example a group of South Germans would most likely stand out in Sweden or Norway, because the proportion of the racial types is different.
Germany and Scandinavia both have a strong Nordid component (which is obviously higher in Scandinavia). But for example the Alpinids and Dinarids which aren't found that often in Scandinavia (in comparison especially to South Germany) would stand out more likely.

Basically what he said, although I'd add that while most Germans could "fit in", the majority would not pass as "stereotypically" Scandinavian

I don't know many but from what I've seen in film and online I'd say they resemble them as much as Northern Russians resemble Czechs and Slovaks.

From what Pallantides has posted, around both of them.

Germans are more warlike and Scandinavians look like a bunch of metrosexual chutney ferrets.

[Oreka Bailoak]

I can't tell the difference.
Very similar but I can still tell the difference.
Somewhat similar and I can tell the difference.
Not similar at all.

Sometimes similar and I can sometimes tell the difference.

Germany has phenotypes that don't really exist in Scandinavia and Scandinavia has types that don't really exist in Germany. A great example is the Sami, or those of partial Sami phenotype. Southern Germany also has a look that isn't very common in Scandinavia. Northern Germany and Southern Scandinavia are more blurred.

Now now, it seems your neck rings are on too tight. Did an ostrich eat your lunch?

I'd make a joke about the English fairies waving their embroidered hanky's around and calling it Morris dancing, but since you're not English that would just be silly.

I think this Norwegian could fit in Germany:

Indeed. looks like a man I know who is of recent German origin.
