Northwestern Europeans

**Northwestern Europeans**, also called **Northern Europeans** are people of the North Sea and the Irish Sea, where are mainly descended of the Bell-Beakers from Lower Rhine and the Corded-Ware populations.

Ireland, United Kingdom of Great Britain, Netherland, Belgium and Iceland are very typical northwestern european countries.

## Evolutionary Genetics

It was unclear which people acutally make the strongest genetic input in Ireland or Great Britain's original population. In the population genetics some sources proven that the Anglo-Saxons would have largely overthrown and replaced the previous population, so that 50-100 percent of the english people descended of the west germanic peoples.Mark G. Thomas was the evolutionary geneticist who means that the english people are completely descendants of Anglo-Saxons, as he found much Y-chromosomal similarities between english, friesian and norweigin men.

This opinion does not share Stephen Oppenheimer. He means that neither Anglo-Saxons nor Celts or any other migrations like Vikings and Norsemen does not have put strong genetic material in the white Indigenous people of British Isles. According to him the Brits (Irish include) descended from a prehistoric, pre-celtic primal population of Iberian descent like the Basques. He makes this conclusion probably as Ireland, UK and Spain have very strong Haplotype R1B. However, this theory is scincetifically disproved and outodated by newest genetic studies.

Howsoever, newest genetic evidences shown that very at least 90 percent of the white Indigenous people of British Isles are descended of Bell-Beakers from Lower Rhine. This means that if it has actually existing an iberian primal population, this people was later eradicated and annihilated by Bell-Beakers. The same sources also have proven that later immigrations like the Anglo-Saxons from continental Northwestern Europe, have much more genetically effects to the genetics of modern Brits than geneticans such as Stephen Oppenheimer or Bryan Skyles said.

## Anatomy & Biological Anthropology

### Morphology

White West Europeans are according to morphological and anatomical examinations of physical anthropologists mesocepahlic and some times dolichocepahlic (long-skulled), with a hyperleptorrhine, prominent, straight or wavy nasal form and thinny to very thinny lipps and narrow eyes. The body type is either mesomorphic or ectomoprh.

The form of the hair is wavy or smooth and the hair can also be very thin (bruenetts) as well as very thick (gingers).

### Pigmentation

The skine types of Northwestern Europeans are 1-celtic, 2-nordic or 3 and can are normal light to very whitish pale. While the skine tone is whitish, reddish or freckled, the eyes colour is mostly pure blue, that or blue-mixed. The hair color is medium brown or reddish- light brown in average, but this human type can also have pure red-auburn hair. Northwestern Europeans have moslty medium brown, chestnut brown or light brown hair in combination with blue or light-mixed eyes.

However, the fact that countries such as (either) Scottland or Ireland have the very most auburn-haired people, makes it most plausibely and likely that white westerner Europeans like Irish and another British people ar the palest people on earth. Auburn hair is an mutation of the Gen called "MC1R" that does not let the gingers tan.

## Geography & Ethnography

### Geopraphy

Definitely northwestern european are countries such as Ireland or the United Kingdom and Benelux countries like Netherland. The northerner, westerner or directly northwesterner parts of Germany like Lower Saxon, Bremen, Hamburg or Schleswig-Holstein are also northwestern europea as they are geographically near to Netherland and climatically closely to the britsh Isles.

The northerner parts of France also can be include in northwestern europe since it is directly below the Island of Great Britain and have connections to the english channel and the North Sea. Belgium as the southern neighbor of Netherland, country at the North Sea and also an Benenlux state, also is included in northwestern europe. Luxembourg as a country western of germany and northerner of france also can good included in northwestern europe.

Iceland is also able to defined as "northwestern european" since it is the northwesternmost geographically country of whole europe.

### Ethnography

Ethnical northwestern Europeans are people of the North Sea, the irish sea and the north atlantic ocean like Iceland.

West Germanics, Island Celts or northerner Celts and north Germanics made northwestern european people. White Indigenous British , Netherlands, Belgians, Luxembourgers, Icelanders, Irish people, the most germans and some scandinavians and northern french are together the ethnographycally and biogeographically group of white Indigenous people from northwestern europe.

British Isles are populated his own history by several nordic, anglo-saxon, german tribes and celts, but in the case if celts it can be assumed that is has never giving a celtic massive immigration. The newest genetic studies make it more likely that the Bell-Beakers of the Lower Rhine did takes the celtic languages. This make more sense since the Island Celts does not have nothing together with other celtic ethnic groups in cenctral or southern europe. Howsoever, the modern white people of British Isles are north Celts (white westerner Europeans) with massive anglo-nordic and west germanic (northern european) admixture from parts of europe that are today Denmark and Northwestern Germany.

Scandinavia is another history, while the british isles and the continental Northwestern Europe was populated by the Bell-Beaker culture that originated from the Yamnaya-culture, the continental northern Europe was togehter with Denmark and south scandinavia populated by the Corded-Ware populations that originated from the Yamnaya-culture in the pontic steppes like the Bell-Beakers. This can be also a reason why english, friesian and scandinavian males have a high genetical similarity. The another reasons why scandinavian is considered be northwestern european is the north germanic or nordic descent of this populations, the facts thst both vikings as well as normanns originated from scandinavia and the dominance of phenotypically nordic people in this region. However, the scandinavians also have more baltic (eastern european) and finnish features than any other group such as very light hair or whitish blue eyes. This finnish features are technically eastern european since it is strongest at the baltic Sea that is geographically connected with Northwestern Russia, the baltic States and northern Poland and not with very typical northwestern european countries such as UK or Netherland. Thus scandinavians have the strongest percent of eastern european features of all peoples in northwestern europe, that makes scandinavia percentally less northwestern european than the Netherlands, north Germany or Great Britain.

By phenotypes are Ireland and the United Kingdom of Great Britain the strongest northwestern european countries, though the Netherlands and northwestern Germany are in no way inferior to those in this regard.
