Nerd-oid? ;D Well, I found the pic in an academic page, which explains his suave looks. Give him a broader jaw and sharper features, and you´ve got a stereotypical German, IMO. |

He doesn't look northern European at all - too sharpish a nose and way too leptomorph. I would have guessed some odd-English type.

Is he a typical German Noric?

Approximates the Weser Typus/Weser type, in his case with perhaps some other admixture. Ilse Schwidetzky wrote about a close relationship between the mentioned type (found in the north-east of Westphalia) and the population of Lower Saxony. You can read it yourself in the page of text I scanned (in German). Identified types: dodona.proboards35.com/index.cgi?board=physanth&action=display&thread=1133793721&page=5Features of the Weser type: - Narrow/small eye slits - Horizontal eye slits - Long face - Broad nose Other tendencies: - Tall and slender build - Pointed chin, jaw may be broad - Frontally rounded outline of the chin - Protuberant chin - Deeper-set eyes and nose than at Dalofaelids (the same is true for the Rhine type I noticed) - Receding cheekbones - Wavy mouth line instead of linear - Pink portion of the lips thin - Tendency to nasal profile convexity - 74-76% of light eyes (Rhine type: 78%+) - 25%-30% or 30%+ of light hair - Longer-headed than the Rhine-type, shorter-headed than Dalofaelids (C.I.) img375.imageshack.us/img375/5123/wesertype15lo.jpgimg375.imageshack.us/img375/8449/wesertype26vk.jpg |

Well, he´s from Lower Saxony, I suppose that qualifies him as a Northern European. Though he would look more at home in Frankfurt or Cologne... When I read "Northern European", I had Scandinavia in mind. I don't really see anything "Noric" in him, since the forehead is too sloping. Really more of a "Nordid from the west", like the so called Göta type defined by the Swede Isidor Flodström. Like you wrote, Cologne or Frankfurt would be likely places to find such "thin" Nordids. |

I think his forehead isn't so slooping actually - it only looks like that because of his hair.

Gareth, I was surprised to see Schwidetzky pictured such young individuals as examples of racial types. Their features aren´t fully formed yet.

My thoughts too, hehe. Now that I think about it, he does bear some similarity to a German immigrant science teacher at my school, even if only in the facial expression. |
