View Full Version : Are North-East Europeans pysically/genetically closer to East Eurasians?
Russians, Lithuanians, Finns look visibly East Eurasian influenced to me. It's not the pigmentation but the facial features like wide cheekbones, often slanted or almost slanted eyes and other traits.
The Russians have an admixture from Ugro-Finns and steppe folk. Some say it's around 20%. The Lithuanians and the Finns are well known to have ancient ties with East Eurasians and the Finns are speaking a language derived from such people. I'm more interested in the presence of these traits in the Swedes and the Norwegians and even in some Poles.
the question is that these "Finns" were not a pure 'east-asian' component, and that the 'east-asian' component they have is inequally evolved towards the 'mongolid' side - that said, yes even in West and even South Slavic pops, and among Hungarians, some 'east-asian' features can be found (very tiny and seldom) at the individual level) not always to put on the account of Slavs - Some Scandinavians too can show these features, butit's seldom, apart in some Finnic vicinity or origins -
