Why do some people call the Finnish folk Mongoloids? Are they really right?

[PaganPoet]

By "Siberian type" do you mean extra-ANE mongoloid?

I had modern populations in mind, but could be the same as ANE...

In Spain we have another


The face is the mirror of the soul

Yes, this is biblical (Mathew 6:22,23), then intention of brazilian proverb is controvert this words (Mathew 23:27).

[gixajo]

In Brazil we have a proverb:

Who sees face, doens't see heart.

About the perception of others etc... I like a small sentence from the Spanish poet Antonio Machado, that says:

Los ojos que te ven, no son ojos porque los ves, son ojos porque te ven.

"The eyes that you see are not eyes because you see them, but they are eyes because they see you."

It has a very tangential relationship with the subject, but I wanted to write it.

[Gallop]

Yeah, Germans, especially the older Germans immediately identify me with or recognize me as a German soul. Heh.

Ok. Have to admit – fortunately or unfortunately I got my looks from my Swedish-Finnish grandfather, who looked very German indeed, but whom I could not identify with at all.

Yet, genuine indigenous people, deemed to have a low IQ have been able to see beyond the blind belief of apparencies.

So, is it just the ability to perceive reality differently?

Actually the proverb more directed to facial expressions of feelings; although I think it could be adapted to the phenotype but it would be more inaccurate the more mixed the person was.

like earnest hooton
arthur de gobineau did not directly study the peoples of his writings,

he studied what others had written
and his participation in the great conversation
has influenced our perceptions of the world.

because we are Mongoloids. Whoever offends the Finns will have to deal with me.

[ugochaves]

I'm a Mongoloid, I'm a Finno-Ugric and I saddle deer every day. My reindeer are my Europe

After years of deep contemplation, I have finally decided to agree with prophet Rethel and embrace my east Asian identity! Pass the rice, brothers
