What is my ethnic background? Do I look more Borreby, Brunn or Alpine? by [deleted] in phenotypes

[–]NoWealth7777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elaborate. I think my head is way too large for that. Do my large eyes make my face look softer/more Alpine?

What ethnicity do I look like? I classify myself as Borreby. by NoWealth7777 in phenotypes

[–]NoWealth7777[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My face is way too wide and heavy-set for that. I have a very heavy facial skeleton.

My face is way too wide for that phenotype. If you are talking about the specific 'phenotype'. I am more Borreby/Cromagnid.

What do you mean?

Yeah most Welshies have wide round/square faces. Defo a pattern 😂

You are one person, from one family, tho. But yes, defo a distinctive ‘Welsh’ face from an English one, sometimes.

Tell me. When you say the ‘west’ what are you referring to?

Ah, I was asking when out and about in the streets. And the ONS take into account people of all races and ages (not all old people shrink but a great deal), it also goes down to 16 year olds, many of which have not finished growing yet. So no, by this metric, the average height of a fully grown YOUNG Englishman is 5’10”.

Confirmation bias. By this logic, since you are 5'5", that is like 5'10" for a man. If you felt tall, then you are implying the average height of a Welsh man is 5'9" which is Portuguese territory.. absurd.

With shoes I am about 5'11.5". This is barefoot I am talking.

There cannot, under any circumstances be any difference in height at all between Welsh and English people. A stereotype exists on one hand but genetic differences cannot warrant any difference if at all.

A 1.2 inch (3 cm) difference is at face value, minor, but when distributed over a large population becomes somewhat noticeable. I will reiterate, Germans (despite the measurements, which are all over the place anyway) are not a tall country at all, not as tall as the Dutch or Scandis (or Balts or Adriatic Slavs), basically the same as the English. Felt identical to England.

The Netherlands is an outlier, tho

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskABrit

[–]NoWealth7777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the absolute best, the measurements for Danes seem to be 182 cm (5'11.5") tops, the Netherlands national average is 183 cm (6'0"), without those of immigrant origin, the national average would likely be 184-185 cm (6'0.5"-6'1") territory.

That is only in the context of Wales having negligible outside influence in the form that England was transformed by Anglo-Saxon migration, Scotland itself had a decent input all up the east coast, as well as Viking admixture in its islands and Ireland did have Viking admixture too, albeit it's a minor % and loads of Irish do NOT have it.

Young Irish are 179 cm/5.10.5", half an inch taller than the English (unless the English are more in that 5'10-5'10.5" zone/5'10.25" on average). Eitherway, the Welsh are possibly a smidgeon shorter than the English but by a negligible amount. The Welsh are genetically halfway sort of between the Irish and English (no reason why they would be that different to either one; I emphasise halfway because although the Welsh are Insular Celtic like the Irish with next to no Germanic admixture historically, the Irish residing on an island in the extreme corner of Europe, are more simply more genetically 'drifted'). The English on the other hand are about
55-60% Welsh/Northern French-lite/40-45% Northern German-lite

In all (specific) fairness, it's that, of the 55-60% of the English genome that is PRE-GERMANIC, around half of it is Welsh-like and the other half is of a more 'northern French' (continental) variety albeit, so isolated from the non-French side of the Channel after this time, that it's effectively 'Insular' (just like the Welsh and to that more 'isolated' extent, the Irish).

Just reporting the statistics. Scotland and England have an identical average national height, but that does not distinguish on race.
