Baltid/east-baltids and hairy bodies?

[Aleksis]

Is it rare that baltids and east-baltids have hairy bodies? I have seen many baltids and carelians who have hairy bodies.

The Votiaks are usually deficient in body hair, and the beard is frequently sparse, although in individual cases very heavy beards and very abundant body hair are found. The Ainu-like pilosity of many Russian peasants is commoner among Slavs than among Finnic speakers, but is exceptional in both groups. Neither, by and large, are as hairy as most western European brachycephals. The hair form is predominantly straight, only exceptionally wavy or curly. Forty per cent of Votiaks are listed as long- or oval-faced; the remainder as round-, broad-, or flattishfaced. The nose is straight in 60 per cent of individuals, convex in but 12 per cent. Maliev states that 37 per cent are "solid" in bodily build, only 6 per cent linear or thin. All in all the Votiaks are typical Finns, slightly shorter and rounder headed than Carelians or Mordvins, oddly rufous, and not noticeably more mongoloid than their southerly neighbors."

Racial Characters of the Eastern Finns

Well, Votiaks are Udmurts, aren't they? They are not racially the same as Finnic people (Finns, Estonians, Karelians, Veps, Votic, Ingrians, Livonians, Võro-Seto). Although only Finnish, Estonian and Võro languages have chances to survive
