Pictures from Greenland

Notice the combination of Inuit and Scandinavian names, i.e.:

Hanseeraq Kaspersen
Kîstat Lund
Hanseeraq Frederiksen

Not to mention Inuit who have totally Scandinavian names:

Peter Sikemsen
Poul Erik Isaksen
Ms. Athil Kaspersen
Ms. Johanne Jeremiassen
Saale Aronsen
Frederik Lange
Inger Siegstad
Kristian Egede
Nathan Ottosen
Ole Joelsen
Otto Fillipussen

Here's a seemingly "Nordish" Greenlander, but something looks a little funny about him, the eyes, low-rooted nose and cheekbones...

Hvalsø Egede

John Rasmussen and his racially mixed family

Rassmussen's wife is probably 1/2 Inuit, their daughter is 1/4. Would she be mistaken as "white" by most people?

Yes, a little 'funny' but the gaunt and sunken cheeks tell me that if there is Inuit in his background it isn't a strong strain.

For sure.


> Rassmussen's wife is probably 1/2 Inuit,

Or more, I'd say.


> Their daughter is 1/4. Would she be mistaken as "white" by most people?

I'd say she would. Post her on SF and see what you get. Without knowing, I'd even be inclined to say a chubby-cheeked Borreby with a *hint* of something else....

Interesting though to think about. I can remember reading in TRoE (I think) about Inuit-like skeletal remains being found in a Paleolithic strata in Euorope....and perhaps some anthropologists of the time speculating that there was an Inuit-like strain present in Euorope at that time. I wonder though if it might have been a case of 'parallel evolution' and different stocks taking similar courses of evolution in similar, arctic and sub-arctic conditions.

There's something odd goes on with Greenlanders, a skull might show no sign of Eskimo admixture and yet the teeth be Sinodont. And vice versa this works.
