Lappoid/id?

Anyway, I'm not really sure what the difference really is. Maybe it's the East-baltid's that's not always rightly classified.

Most Lapps are dark-haired. Most Baltic people are light-haired. Few or no Lapps are "East-Baltid".

What really sets Lappids apart from East Baltids?

They don't have a relation. This confusion comes from the made-up term "Lappoid". If talking about East-Baltids, the proper term should be Uralid, or at least Ladogan.

Lapponoid was an early name for Alpinoids, who are metrically similar to Lappids--

Mongoliform French West-Alpinid:


Textbook Lappid:


The East-Baltic type is an extremely borealised Baltid-Uralid mixture:


There is no metrical or origins relation between East-Baltid-Uralid and Lappids (and quite some distance between Baltids and the pre-Lappid Cro-Magnoid), just a similarity in eye-folds:

May you share with us where you got that most Lapps are dark haired?I am interested.

Well, no posts here, so I'll start.
Maybe a typical subject from me, but so be it.

I've been think about the Lappid type as usual, and I think this woman must be specifically "Lappid", as she's obviously European, but got some specific features - that does not seem Mongoloid at all, but rather specifically Lappish Europid. _{(She is, of course, a real Sámi)}



Agree?

It would be interesting to see her parents and if she has other siblings.

I do not have strong faith in these racial subtypes.Its all too 'hucus pucus'.

Now you're confusing me, what then?

The Lappid phenotype.

It is generally assumed that the Lapps were originally brunet, and that what blondism they possess has been acquired through this mixture. There is, of course, no factual basis for this assumption, and if it be true, the Lapps must have more non-Lapp than Lapp blood. flair color was observed by means of the Fischer scale in six modern studies,12 while in two others13 no scale was employed, but the material is capable of comparative use. In these series the adult male Lapps vary, in black to dark brown hair colors, from forty to eighty per cent; the beard color, when observed, is lighter. There is some argument as to whether the pure brunet Lapp hair is really black or dark brown, which would indicate that it often falls into a borderline category. When blond, it is usually ashen, and almost never golden or red. The selected "pure" groups, Bryn's Reindeer Lapps, and some of Geyer's mountain and forest Lapps from Sweden, have seventy per cent or over of this dark hair, while the fairest Lapps, with a majority of brown and blond shades, are found in Finland and in the Kola Peninsula.

Keep in mind, Finland has the smallest population of Lapps.
