Greetings from Pennsylvania (United States)

Hello.

I am a 24-year-old male from Southeastern Pennsylvania in the Mid-Atlantic United States. I have always been interested in sub-racial classification and the genetic history of Europe.

I have posted on various similar forums in the past but in the last five years, I haven't posted much due to being busy with life in general.

My forum name in other sites was Evan1211 I believe. I am not sure, though.

I am descended from various Western European ethnicity. Researching my genealogy is a big hobby of mine, and I have logged over 1500 ancestors in my tree, some going back to the late 1400s in England. Predominantly, I am of British Isles decent, spread out evenly between Ireland, England, Scotland, and (to a lesser extent) Wales. Notably, I have significant ancestry from Baden and Bavaria as well as (recently discovered) ancestry from the area where Spain and France border each other on the Mediterranean Sea.

Phenotypically, using 'standard' subracial labels, I am an Atlanto-Mediterranean with significant UP/Cro-Mag influence. Thus, I am of medium stature, broad shouldered with a propensity towards stockiness (but I work at making sure that I don't get fat...).

I have a Cranial Index of around 77 but my head dimensions are very large (I forget them right now but they are essentially "off the charts"). My face is somewhat narrow but not particularly 'long'. I have a mix of delicate and craggy features. For example, I have a prominent brow-ridge, but my mouth and jaw are almost gracile.

My hair is pretty dark brown (although it used to be lighter brown until 5-6 years ago), darker than the norm for the countries I am from. My eyes are "light-mixed" being dark green with yellow flecks/rings in them. My facial hair is moderately thick and is darker than my hair (nearly black). My skin is significantly darker than British Isles standards. On the Von Luschan scale, it would be a 13 or 14. I am a Type III Fitzpatrick scale (regarding tanning). Basically, I have beige skin that tans darkly to a somewhat reddish brown.

I probably won't post too much since I am busy, but I just wanted to say Hello.

Thanks for all of the warm welcomes. I look forward to contributing what I can here, as well as meeting interesting people from both Europe itself and other people of European-descent.
