Why did Finland form so late?

Except the part where he started to talk about nordics. We all know Karl looks like a untermenschen. Estonian untermenschen. Very typical Estonian look, google Mart Laar.

What is wrong with Mart Laar :-)
He is not eastern by any standards. He is in the core ;-)

[Pure ja]

I'm assuming many of the people posted in the 'Estonians' thread in the anthropology section are part Russians, someone should post some good crowd pictures with ethnic Estonians.

You mean like the first man in this video? In what way is he eastern?

I'd say that estonians are more similar to southern swedes and to the danes, while finns are more similar to northern swedes.
Whoda thunk of that. Guess there have been continuous contacts over the seas.

But as I understand, the real question was who is the most nordic?
May I present my choice of a diagram :?)

The larger core of europeanness/nordicness almost exactly covers the baltic finnic area. The inner core is in the Baltics.

I don't think that Danes are that similar to us. They have a Central-European thing going on. Swedes overall are the most similar to us I guess.

Where would you place Estonians in this map, Karl?

Genetically you are Russian anyway.

Do you think so? Look at pl & Ru btw, so much for "difference" central/east religion or otherwise.

I think Latvia is a bit surprising. I would have thought they are between Poland and Finland.

maybe. clearly charts like this illustrate how many proposed 'relationships' are politiacally motivated propaganda and not in line with reality.
