Originally posted by Rotta What's wrong with you, rapala? You appear like some Mongoloidic Svecoman suffering identity problems. You are right, Finns don't look like nordic, they are nordic. Finns have _nothing_ to do with Siberians/Altaic/Mongolians genetically, and even linguisticly just as much as Swedes have with Indians (of India). So-called "Uralic" languages' birthplace is precisely as Eastern than Indo-European languages' birthplace, just more Northern. So "Uralic" languages should be called Northern and Indo-European Southern languages. Genetics states that Finns origin from Central Europe. Though, according skull measurements, Finns are the most European (Cro Magnon-like) people existing, Swedish coming as a close second, so atleast they have same kind of heads. Anyway, this rapala is like a backflash from the history: some Swedish like to see Finns as slanted-eyed Eastern people and invent fancy theories to support this. This was done especially in 1800s with the racial (racistic) "science". Then they see Swedish as some pure, das �ber-Aryan race of Vikings, which is how I construe your extremely wierd desire to deny all "Viking-like" things from Finns, even if Finns provably wore "Viking-like" clothes and does have a "Germanic/Scandinavian" outlook. Fortunately, there are very few of you nowadays. Sieg Heil, mein race theorist!

well sorry for my bad english but when i mean finns have mongoloid features well i didn't mean finns were asians but how could i say, not to be rude but some finns do have the down syndrome kind of eyes.
it was a long time iv posted here but heres my opinion
finns arent asian race but caucasian like samis, swedes and germans.

this is fact finns have much whiter skincolor than most swedes and germans and might be more caucasoid.

The Origin of the Baltic-Finns from the Physical Anthropological Point of View

http://www.mankindquarterly.org/samples/niskanenbalticcorrected.pdf

The author provides a comprehensive analysis of the physical
anthropology of the Finns and Saami, comparing them with other
Scandinavian peoples and contrasting them genetically with the
Mongoloid peoples of Asia, notwithstanding the affinities which
link the Finnish language with the Uralic and to a lesser extent
the Altaic languages. He concludes that both the Finns and the
Saami are genetically Caucasoid or European, and that the Finns
especially are closely akin to the other North European peoples of
Scandinavia.

Figure 2 presents scores of the first (x-axis) and the second (yaxis)
canonical discriminant functions computed using the
SPSS-program from c-scores of 42 cranial measurements. The
cranial populations are clustered almost as one would expect in
light of their geographic relationships. This diagram also
demonstrates that the North Europeans (the Finns, Saami, and
Swedes) have diverged craniometrically the least from the Cro-
Magnons of Europe. This is expected because the transition
from hunting to farming occurred both late and without largescale
population movements in Northern Europe. In Southern
and Central Europe, this subsistence transition occurred earlier
and largely as a result of demic diffusion of farmers of ultimately
Near Eastern and/or Balkan extraction. As a result, their cranial
configuration has changed more.
These craniometric analyses demonstrate that the Finns
(and presumably other Baltic-Finns) and Saami (although they
form their own subset within the European set) possess North
European craniofacial configuration with more than average
amount of Paleo-European (Cro-Magnoid) features. This
finding indicates that the Baltic-Finns and Saami (as well as their
Scandinavian neighbors) are indigenous people of northern
Europe and not recent immigrants from elsewhere.
