Default Re: Post Examples of East-Baltids

@Exeter: I haven't read all that much about the Uralic race so I can't really say, though I think she is too light pigmented for Gorid. Also, I recognise that East-Baltids are not descended from Mongols. Just that you can sometimes get a Mongoloid impression from certain traits they possess (epicanthus folds, concave noses, broad and flat faces).

Yes, I think he wrote that they moved into Middle Europe from the East. But they don't seem all that exotic to me. In Wales you can find a lot of Alpinid looking individuals. Sometimes reduced CM types mixed with a darker Mediterranid strain can give a similar effect.

What I find more exotic is the Littorid and Turanid influenced types you can occasionally find here (Gavin Henson, for instance).

Anyway, an educative thread turned into a speculative thread. The bottleneck of each forum is that everyone has his opinion.
People, please, post your examples (if you are sure).
Give me some time and I will find some pure EBs. It's difficult as there are very few East-Baltid celebrities that I know of. The Finnish IRC Galleria is sometimes a good place to start looking, you can find them in abundance there.
