Phenotype

North Lappid Phenotype - Face Features & Origin

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

Average Face

The North Lappid 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 North Lappid 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

Light brown skin, straight, usually dark brown, sometimes lighter hair and brown eyes. Short, meso- macroskelic, endomorph with relatively long arms. Brachycephalic, sometimes mesocephalic, chamae- orthocranic. Mesorrhine, often concave nose with a depressed root. Compared to Scando Lappid, the forehead is slightly narrower, the chin slightly stronger, eyebrows thicker and slanting eyes more common. Hair growth rather weak.

Historical Background

Northern Lappid variety, somewhat closer to Sibirid, possibly due to Samoyedic influence. Associated with Eastern Saami (formerly "Lapps"), e.g. Skolt and Inari speakers. Extends from Finnmark in Norway across Northern Finland to the Kola Peninsula. Rare today, but still extended to St. Petersburg around 1700. Blends in Nenets with Sibirid and in the Volga Kama region with Volgid (Sub Lappid).
