Phenotype

Fenno Nordid Phenotype - Face Features & Origin

The Fenno Nordid phenotype is a siberia human phenotype documented in historical anthropology literature. This page presents the Fenno Nordid phenotype average face composite, its geographic distribution, physical characteristics, historical background, and academic references.

Average Face

The Fenno Nordid phenotype average face is a composite synthesized from multiple individual photographs by historical anthropologists. It represents a statistical impression of recurring facial features, not a real person.

Geographic Distribution

The Fenno Nordid phenotype is native to Siberia. The historical distribution below reflects approximate centers of prevalence documented roughly 1500 years ago; modern borders and population movements have since blurred these boundaries.

Approximate coordinates: 60.00°, 100.00° (latitude, longitude).

Physical Characteristics

Pale skin, straight, red to white-blonde sometimes reddish-brown hair. Light, often water-blue eyes. Rather tall, meso- macroskelic, ecto- mesomorph, with an angular build. Head is shorter than in other Nordids and usually meso- brachycephalic, the nose straight, relatively high and leptorrhine. Facial features softer, forehead straighter, nose less prominent.

Historical Background

Ancient type of Northeastern Europe, sometimes placed in Nordid, sometimes East Baltid. Associated with Finno-Ugric people, once widespread in Russia. Today a minority element in Eastern Finns, e.g. Mordvins, Komi (esp around Vashka), Mari, Udmurts, and Carelians, sometimes in Russians, Western Finns, Balts, and even Saami. Some relict groups exist in Siberia.
