Dutch Are Actually Mixed Med-Nordic, and Celtic

[cbvnm]

Why do people always want to qualify Europeans as either nordic or mediterranean?

We Dutch are neither

although you will find lots of nordic and mediterranean looking Dutch, the average Dutch looks in between. In other words : we are Central-European

some facts about the Dutch :

most common eye colour : blue/green
most common hair colour : brown
cephalic index : 80,4 (on the border of mesocephalic and brachycephalic

according to this info we cant be classed as nordic, mediterranean or alpine

same accounts for the Belgians

the history of the Low Countries is very complex with Celtic, germanic, roman conquest. And after that the Spanish rule of the Low Countries. After that the French Hugenots that came to the Netherlands. etc
Dutch and Flemings are mixed people, we dont fall in the germanic, celtic or roman category even though our language is germanic


by the way :
Lucile Werner is not Belgian, she is Dutch

Why did you make a topic out of this?

It was just a response of mine in a topic.

Because your post did not fit into the theme of the specified thread, which actually was discussing the blondness of Sweden. It is not such a big thing for a post to become a topic. There are hundreds of topics here.

But I would ask you to limit these ideas to relevant threads, and not post them all over the board. Thread "hijacking" is not encouraged.

The Spanish rule has nothing to do with the Med element in both the Dutch and Belgian population, a few garrisons, contained in numbers, so any sensible change in metrical direction or complexion was negliable, I presume even non-existant.
The Mediterrenean component is more ancient and probably in part of Danubian origin.
