Hairy & Anthropology

[Agrippa]

Williams might be Cromagnoid/Dalofaelid-Borreby intermediate with Alpinid.

I have recently read a study, which claimed that Northern Europeans are the least hairy people in Europe.

Why not post the study here ?

[Agrippa]

Even if they are, it is mostly because of the Lappid and Osteuropid influences, not because of the local Nordeuropids (Nordid, Dalofaelid) or Borreby-Alpinoids.

Such a study shoud at least try to differentiate regions. F.e. inside of Russia the North East vs. the South, in Scandinavia Southern Norway vs. the rest or Southern Norway and Southern Sweden vs. the rest or the like.

That's mainly in North-East. Uralic East Baltids and other infantile forms have little body hair. Altaics even less

It's in Estonian.

The study talked about all Northern Europeans, not the North-East Europeans.

[Agrippa]

Then it is no good study anyway...

The typological system definitely had its advantages, not lumping all kinds of variants together just because they happened to live in the same area.

Then we can with no regrets commit it to the flames

I just got an idea. Maybe hairiness is related to middle-eastern ancestry?

Finnics(NE-Europeans) have the lowest amount of middle-eastern genes, practically zero. They're also the least hairy. Other Northern Europeans also have a very small amount of middle-eastern genes and they're also less hairy then other Europeans. While SE-Europeans with a bigger amount of middle-eastern genes are the hairiest. Creating connections isn't hard.

To be precise, Northern Near Easterners, as I said before. So Armenoids and Iranids.

If you go away from there, in EVERY direction, the hairiness as a tendency decreases.

F.e. Arabids and more Southern Eastern Mediterranids too are already less hairy than the Caucasian people. The Caucasian area is really a centre of hairiness.

And of course, the Cromagnoids in the North West too are more hairy, though having a rather low Near Eastern input.

So it's mostly up to cold adapted and Mongoloid inspired forms to be "less hairy" - if excluding feminised and very infantile variants.

The Northern Near Eastern influence definitely entered Europe and formed a large portion of its population probably, some things are unclear yet, yDNA is interesting in this regard too. Thats also a reason why Dinarids might be more hairy or those Mediterranids closer to the Caucasian centre of hairiness, like the ones from Bulgaria, in comparison to those in Iberia.

The incidence of synophrys (monobrows/unibrows) is also higher in the most hairy racial forms and can be used for comparison.

At the same time certain variants have unibrows though being less hairy otherwise. But in Europeans it is usually an indicator, which is even less dependent on the individual's sex type in comparison or careful inspection of a person...
