Most of finns could be perfectly identified among a bunch of swedes/norwegians.

After seeing more photos of all three, sometimes I think some Swedes look more Finnish than Norwegian due to being more borealized whereas Norwegians look slightly more like English, Scottish etc. and to continental Europeans.

LOL.No way swedes look closer to finns than norwegians.

Not collectively, but some of them can. Although some Norwegians surprise me with their look too. There is a Norwegian poster on another site I go on, and if people did not know better they might guess him as Inuit.

Finns seem to fit the phenotype-stereotype of Scandinavians more than the others do. It's almost as if Scandinavians are referenced for their characteristics more unusual than the average other Germanic, or European generally.
