Classify Long-Time Lurker

[phenotype-rex]

For whatever reason, I can't self-classify.

Baskid.

[phenotype-rex]

Damn that was quick. I have 0 Iberian ancestry though. Is it the ovular face-shape?

[Borealis]

I always wonder why people lurk.

[Dna8]

AngloSaxon, IMO.

[Knight Slayer]

Is your ancestry primarily British Islander?

[Zroota]

North Atlantid + Dinarid

But I'm guessing that would make you a Baskid.

Can we get a better profile picture?

[nittionia]

German and English? Maybe a bit of Danish?

Phenotype not always match ancestry and basques are not exactly Iberians... Anyways, maybe you could be keltic nordid too( which is very similar to baskid) which perhaps some very minor cro-magnid influence.

Maybe because they find the forum interesting but don't want to create an account for some reason( like lazyness, not having time, etc...)

It wouldn't, baskid is certainly much more complicated than this.

I won't say anything until I see a profile pic which is my usual go to move when I can't judge from the front.

It isn't that complicated. There is nothing special about Basques besides very high levels of Upper Paleolithic/Cromagnoid admixture (their WHG is on par with Scandinavians). Aside of that they are regular Southwestern Europeans, higher Hunter-Gatherer ancestry is most certainly what gave them this peculiar phenotype.

Ding. Ding. Ding. You are all basically correct. Known ancestry is Midwest German and Pennsylvania Scottish. Here is the DNA Test reveal:

Standard USA Euromutt. When I traveled to Texas a couple years ago, I was shocked at how many of the White Males looked like me. Same top-heavy build, similar noses, heavy features, same hair and beard coloration. At the Dojo, the Hispanics kept thinking I was related to the other gringos. Kinda surreal.

The reason I always struggled with self-classification is despite having some oversided cro-magnon features like a heavy brow and wide nose, only the Atlantids have an ovular face-shape. Brunn, Anglo-Saxon, Dalofaelid all have more angular jaws and cheek-bones.
The nostrils are flat unlike any of the more swarthy phenotypes like Basque or Dinarid. I also notice that I have kinda droopy bug-eyes that a Lebanese / Druze friend also has. Maybe that's just an anomaly.

Does profile mean straight-forward or side?

I just never had anything to contribute. By lurk, I really mean I came across this site like 15 years ago while I was still a teenager and interested in Celts, Indo-Europeans, Proto-Europeans etc, and maybe stopped in once a year since then.

Also, I thought the site was phenotypes and genetics only. Now I see some right leaning politics boards and might stick around.

Baskid just doesn't seem right due to the curved nostrils.

I considered Keltic-Nordid but the composite shows leaner features. In my case it's large nose, large lips, large eyes, heavy brow, which I always associated with primitive Proto-European, cro-magnid (Scottish?) genes.

I know I'm probably getting a lot of this wrong so please don't crucify me for misusing the terms.

[Rouxinol]

Specimen looks Atlanto-Brunn.
Scottish and Irish-looking in my opinion.

[Morena]

I think you are a mix of atlatid and anglo saxon. it’s not an exact science. [emoji28] you do look very american.

Does this help? It's from a couple months ago before I started trying to grow a beard.

^Definitely Brunn...

[Oghuz]

North atlantid and Baskid

I guess you are an american of anglo saxon descent.

Aside of that they are regular Southwestern Europeans, higher Hunter-Gatherer ancestry is most certainly what gave them this peculiar phenotype.

The problem is that baskids shows some traits that someone that is dinarid+atlantid doesn't shows, so they cannot be only that. Same thing with keltic nordids

Because they're ISTJ's they are lurkers active listeners they rather stay at the corner and observe.
