North East Europeans

**Eastern Europeans** of the baltic Sea, also called as **North East Europeans** are ash-blonde or blonde, blue-eyed people of the Baltic Region. These people are living mainly in Finnland, the baltic States and northwestern Russia, but especially in Estonia.

This people are made of northern (east and west) slavs, balts, baltic finns, balto-slavs, fennoscandinavians, baltoscandians, finno-ugrics or uralics.

## Anatomy and Biological Anthropology

### Morphology

According anthropologists are eastern europeans at the baltic region brachycephalic with a flat occiput, and a short foredhead which can either be flat or sloping. The body type is endomorphic and the height is typically medium, but they can also be very tall or very short. The easterner europeam nostrils are usually wide, and concave or straight, and usually mesorrhine to leptorrhine. The mouth of regional baltic people is wide and usually very thick. The face is rather flat and wide as well as square, with a square jaw and prominent, wide checkbones.

### Pigmentation

Luigi Cavalli-Sforza found out that the blondest people or population with the lightest hair are people of the Baltic Sea.  This make sense since even physical anthropologists described the baltic-region-people as "ash-blonde" (light greyish undertones). He also means that blue eyes are most commom at around the Baltic Sea and the lightness of eyes have his maximum im that region, like lightness of hair.  This disproved the believing of the national socialists that blondness is a genetically germanic gene. Cavalli-Sforza's studies shown that blondness is neither a genetical germanic nor nordic feature.

## Geography and Ethnography

### Geography

Geographically is the Baltic Region made of eastern european such as the baltic states and western Russia and northeastern european countries like Finnland. The baltic region is defined as around the Baltic Sea, that makes the baltic States, Finnland and the westerner Russia to Northeast Europe. The northern part of poland can also be defined as northeastern europe as it is like Finnland, Estonia and Russia at the baltic sea ant thus a kind of baltic region. Kaliningrad and the northwesterner parts of russia like St. Petersburg are also easy defineable as northeastern europe and the Baltic region, as they are geographically near to the baltic States and directly at the baltic Sea.

### Ethnography

Ethnic Easterner Europeans are the Finns, Russians, Estonians and another Balts, but also some scandinavians have very typical eastern european features like light ash-blonde hair or pale blu-gray eyes. This can be explained with fenno-baltic or balto-uralic immigrations by the connections of the baltic Sea.

Northerner slavs also have some northeastern european admixture in theyre genetic material, but way not so strong as Finns, Estonians and another Balts.

Northeastern european admixture can also be found in some parts of eastern or northeastern germany such as in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania or in Brandenburg, there and also in Austria or Hungary can finde some "finnic features".

In the Balkans even can found particular northeastern european admixture, if also mixed with mediterreanen features together.
