Where can I find a list of physical characteristics based on ethnic background?

Question

Let me explain a bit more, as I don't want to sound discriminatory. I'm Norwegian, Swedish (Scandinavian), Irish, English, Dutch, and German. I was just wondering if there was a list matching my physical characteristics to any of my ethnic backgrounds? For example, my nose is not too wide and not too small at the bottom, but at the top it is very slender (a problem, as I wear glasses and they slip a lot). I've heard this is a Norwegian, or Scandinavian characteristic but I'm not sure. I was just wondering if anyone had a link or knew of a website that gave all of or the most common physical characteristics of different ethnicities? Hope this makes sense. Thanks!

Answer 1

Irish people usually have black or brown hair with very, very pale skin. Some are redheads, but only about 4%, so not a huge amount. Way, way back, Scandinavians were characterized as tall, with fair features. Swedish people are usually thought to be blonde and blue-eyed, but are in general also fair. Same with English, though the English group is VERY diverse. Germany is even more diverse.

It's almost impossible to figure out physical characteristics of certain ethnicities because of so much inter-marriage, etc.

Answer 2

Norse have the tiniest chins in the world. The irish have black hair often due to spanish celts migrating there. The dutch often have a cleft chin, unlike the norse. Your slender nose is a northern adaptation to minimize loss of warm air. You actually speak of racial background because ethnic includes cultural factors which are independent of body parts. I am 47 and have closely observed people for long. Nordic people have the narrowest heads of all. The women have the smallest b*****s- but great brains.
