Northern France & Western Norway.

North France being the top choice.

Bretons (generally), Normans (generally), Belgians (a good segment), Danes (a good segment) and a portion of Iberians (Spanish and Portuguese); based on the strength of equivalencies.

Dividing Scandinavia is not to any good. All of the most occuring phenotypes in Sweden are also about equally frequent in Denmark and Norway.

Take a good look at Iceland lol. Great showcase of Norwegians/Irish mixing together.....a harmonious blend IMO

A breton group can't pass in Ireland, only individualy and not everybody

I see Danes as closer. Upper Scandinavia has more of a region particular look.

Agree, But some regions of Brittany can pass more than others.

Danes don't differ at all, it's like North and South Portugal, the people of southern Portugal are mostly Northerners who immigrated and in Scandinavia it's the opposite. I have yet to see a Dane that wouldn't fit easily here in Sweden(yes that applies to the Northern part too), and vice versa.

Dividing Scandinavia that much when it comes to physical Anthropology is just wrong.
