Where are this group of people from?

Germany, but the two individuals in the front look Russian to me (maybe "Russlanddeutsche")

[quarryman]

They are not from Germany, and none of the names are Russian. Jugding from their names only, they are all from the same ethnic group.

Ach verdammt.... Okay then Czech Republic.

Lithuanians

Slovakia

NO, the don't.

[oubit]

oh yes, they do.

[nymos]

Belgians?

[quarryman]

They are from Netherlands. Less Nordid and more protomorph than I would expect. More similar to Germans. I think their biggish faces make them look western European - in the east the faces often look smaller due to higher heads and wider foreheads.

Coon wrote basically the same.

A protomorphic feature would be a small-looking face however, according to Lundman. Not a big-looking face. Source: "Umriss der Rassenkunde des Menschen in geschichtlicher Zeit".

Yes Dutch all of them except one, the guy on the right, he doesn't fit in.

I don't know, I don't follow Lundman in this. To me, a person with a large face, wide mouth and small nose look more "western" than one with a lot of face around the eye-mourth area, although the nose often look quite big. Also, eatsern groups have smaller teeth than western.

That's so far correct about the Saami and Greek Alpinids but not really in general.

A quote from a previous post, look at the illustration:

An overview:


"Overall tooth size across different human populations, both present and ancestral".
*
The full article that quoted it:
majorityrights.com/index.php/weblog/comments/1000/
"Racial variation in some parts of the skull involved in chewing."

That Scots from Ensay allegedly had the smallest teeth makes it seem a bit random. Greeks have pretty small ones, affirmed by a Greek at Dodona. J. Lawrence Angel mentioned this phenomenon if it's about the "low Eastern Alpinids" of Greece. The robust Alpinids in Germany and Guenther's Alpinid skull have again rather prominent teeth in comparison to other types. Coon solely mentioned the Saami to have especially small teeth as far as I know.

*The same study (by Hanihara) also shows that Europeans have distinctive tooth dimensions even when overall size is factored out.
In the plots below, the PCO1 (PC-1) axis represents the tooth cross-section: European teeth appear broadened in the cheek-to-tongue direction, or compressed in the tooth-to-tooth direction, relative to non-European teeth of the same size. Polynesians are like Europeans in this respect, with Amerinds at the opposite extreme.
The PC-2 axis in the upper plot represents size of molars relative to other teeth. In Europeans, molars are smaller, and the other teeth larger, when compared to non-European dentitions of the same average size.
Australians are separated from the rest in the PC-3 dimension, representing relatively large anterior teeth.

The Ancient Egyptians, even the Predynastic sample which includes the racially ambiguous Badarians, align with West Eurasians.
