Post Examples of East-Baltids

[Ariets]

Maria Sharapova is nice, very nice ;-)

[Breogan]

What about Klaus Maria Brandauer?
It's funny because he's an Austrian, very far from Baltid latitudes.

[Breogan]

And what about Emilie de Ravin, Australian actress from "Lost" series?

@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.

Indeed, Gavin Henson looks very exotic (at least for a Briton).



How can you explain this Turanid influence in Wales ?

[Carnyx]

Would this individual count as E-B?

[Breogan]

I don't think so, just nordid with some CM, perhaps some baltid, but not eastern.

Makes me think of Antti Miettinen:

Pamela Anderson

It makes sense. I also read she is of Finnish descent.

"Also I thought of a great way to celebrate my Finnish heritage at home. I'm going to look into opening a chain of strips club and ill call them LAPLAND!!!

And of course no more fur farms. So old fashion. There are hundreds here. The demand is getting lower for fur coats and they breed foxes here just for fur. Aweful. I've written the President a letter. Sweden, Austria and England have banned fur farms. Let's hope Finland will too. Other than that I'm very proud of my Finnish heritage. It is the most beautiful countryside. I'm going to try and convince some relatives to come visit me in Vegas."

There is a problem defining what is "East-Baltic". Pre-WW2 definion was very wide, Paul von Hindenburg was one text book example of Coon for example. Most widely known Pre-WW2 anthropologists never did any field study in the lands with the highest densidy of Baltid people. The most noted Finnish anthropologist (Niilo Pesonen) who did very thorough research in the 30's published his studies in the anthro language of the time which was German, and thus Coon and even Lundman never referred his studies but based their publications on sources that were scant and/or erroneous. According to Pesonen's studies his "East-Baltid" was more Baltid proper and similar to Hindenburg. West-, -, and East-Baltid division seem totally post-WW2 thingy, from the era the "real" anthropology didn't exist anymore so I don't like that division at all so I avoid using it. I prefer to terms like Faelid-like Baltid (since I think it's futile to invent new names for something that is very similar to the other thing), Baltid proper, reduced Baltid and borealized Baltid. Lappoid is different thing, you just see the difference.

So, here's a classic East-Baltid:

How about these two?

i think its a good thing that she's interested in her finnish background and identity and that she wants to learn finnish.

What did you expect coming from an American actress whose main role was in Baywatch?

Nah, her main role was in Tommy Lee's home video.

[OneEnglishNorman]

Joss Stone at least has an influence.

Ironically she reminds me of Bruce Lee, a Hong Kong man with German descent.
