Anglo-Saxons was a term made for Germanic people living in England by the Frankish Empire. Anglo-Saxon stand for English. Stop fooling yourself like that.

What's a viking face?

Anyway, I'm the only one here who doesn't know what haplogroup is and doesn't understand those genes maps? It's a really complicated word, for me white people were just white people.

Germans certainly dont look like native brythonic, old stock european like the British do.

The difference is clear..

Not really the danes are soooo much blonder, meanwhile the brits are by far mostly mousy brown haired and dark brown haired. Danes look germanic/nordic and brits look brythonic, gaelic, etc, like the old populations that inhabitated the Isles and atlantic shores long before the arrival of modern germanics/nordics from central asia.

*I'm sorry, I'm going to be one of those obnoxious people who post pictures of random people*

OK Traveler/Don Caballero, since you keep saying that British people look so different from "Germanics", can you tell which of these people are British?

Famous dutch actors? its obvious the last one is part indonesian/moluccan

Dutch actors are the least representative of what dutch people know, the same goes for other countries, they are many times picked because they look different than the more average/standard peoples.


I have been to england and most people are just like generic whites from the states, like 5'9 1/2 to 5 '10 in average and either mousy brown or dark brown hair color being dominant. Scandinavians, dutch and even germans are more striking looking as a whole.

I already posted a normal crowd of dutch students and I would never ever drunk would confuse them for British Islanders. I'm 5'11 and felt like a midget in all northern europe but in the UK I saw ton of people much shorter than me, also it seem that having darker hair didnt stop me to blend good. In the rest of northern countries I felt myself sticking out like a sore thumb pretty often (because of my darker hair, shorter height and overall non nordic/germanic looks).
