Classify J. K Rowling: Saxon type?

[Euclides]

Saxon Type?

[Agrippa]

Nordid + Dalofaelid + slight Dinarid admixture might be right.

So between Anglo Saxon and Keltic Nordic if thats a classification would be my guess.

[Milesian]

Anglo-Saxon pred. although I can see the nasal traits that would lead to conclude there is a Dinarid influence so I more or less agree with Agrippa

[Awar]

Anglo-Saxon

[Allenson]

Anglo-Saxon

I think so as well. I posted her for classification of Nordhammer's group quite some time ago and if I remember correctly, that's what we came up with.

I find her rather lovely.

[Awar]

btw. does anyone know of some genetic parallels to the Anglo-Saxon type distribution?
I mean, is there any specific genetic mark in the places where Anglo-Saxon type is dominant, can we trace it to central Europe, or is it an indigenous British type?

[Glenlivet]

How can it be indigenous in respect to many other groups when we know that they came from the Northern European plain.

The Anglo-Saxons

British history contains several periods of major cultural change. It remains controversial as to how much these periods coincided with substantial immigration from continental Europe, even for those that occurred most recently. In this study, we examine genetic data for evidence of male immigration at particular times into Central England and North Wales. To do this, we used 12 biallelic polymorphisms and six microsatellite markers to define high-resolution Y chromosome haplotypes in a sample of 313 males from seven towns located along an east-west transect from East Anglia to North Wales. The Central English towns were genetically very similar, whereas the two North Welsh towns differed significantly both from each other and from the Central English towns. When we compared our data with an additional 177 samples collected in Friesland and Norway, we found that the Central English and Frisian samples were statistically indistinguishable. Using novel population genetic models that incorporate both mass migration and continuous gene flow, we conclude that these striking patterns are best explained by a substantial migration of Anglo-Saxon Y chromosomes into Central England (contributing 50%-100% to the gene pool at that time) but not into North Wales.

Thank you. I meant about the so-called Anglo-Saxon phenotype, if it's definitely from continental Europe.

[Glenlivet]

The answer should be positive, from northern continental Europe, as it is supposed to have come with the Anglo-Saxon invaders who came from that region.

I am often more sure about Dutch, Danish and NW Germans whom look Anglo-Saxon than English. Persons like Roger Moore or Hugh Grant are more tricky to put in a group except that they look more or less Nordid. The source of their deep mandibles is probably Brünn.
