Hairy & Anthropology

[Truth Seeker]

I tried to look for a hairiness map but all I could find was the blondism hair map. What did the anthropologists have to say about this? I got called werewolf from kids in school. That is kinda of my nickname from some people. I need to know where this is coming from. I have hair all over the back of my hands. My brother is very hairy too but not as hairy as me.

Nordics are said to be hairy. I guess Cro-Magnids too. While Baltids, Lappids and more Eastern boreal types are not so much.

As I said in another context already, the hairist Europids are around the Caucasus and from there, almost regardless of where you go, the hairiness decreases.

Armenoids and Iranids are among the hairist people in the world.

In Europe Eastern Mediterranids close to that area are hairy, Dinarids, Alpinids if being from the Dinarid-related populations in particular.

Osteuropids the least, the stronger the Mongoloid tendency, the less hair.

So if having to name a type, its quite clearly Dinarid and those Alpinoids and Mediterranids in the areas close to the Dinarids or with a significant input.

South Eastern Europe is the hairier part, the rest being more average with the great individual variation, probably with the exception of the Osteuropid/Baltised, Lappoid areas and the more hairy Cromagnoids of the North West.

Of Europeans I think Southern Europeans are the hariest and Northern Europeans the least.

[Ibericus]

I would say it's pretty much the same everywhere

[Agrippa]

Of Europeans I think Southern Europeans are the hariest and Northern Europeans the least.

Iberian Mediterranids are not as hairy as South Eastern Europeans f.e., so its not general North South pattern, especially if considering the more Cromagnoid areas of the North West too.

I was wondering if I am an Upper Palaeolithic surviver of the Brunn type. Can a Brunn be hairy?

Wouldn't climate have played a part in a certain ethnicity's hairiness, esp noting that hair is a natural defence against the cold?

Well the people in the most northern parts of Northern Europe are often the least hairy.
