The typical Polish look, or all Eastern Europeans [656]
there sin't one Polish look out there. there has been lot's of blood mixing over the centuries. lot's of blood from asia and other parts of europe. just look into whom the poles fought over the centuries and you'll see who we're mixed with.
In terms of the Y-chromosome haplogroups the Poles are quite "Slavic" and they are similar in this respect to the their ethnic kin in the east the Russians and Ukranians. The most common haplogroup in all three nations is R1a - the dominant haplorgoup in eastern Europe.
light hair, blue/green eyes maybe from the North (and the West with Germany),
Western European influence on the Polish genetic makeup via Y-chromosome haplogroups has not been that great. Haplogroup R1b which is most often seen in Celtic and Germanic populations is found at levels of 7-17% in Poland and the typically Germanic I1a is even rarer, occuring at less than 6% in Poland as a whole.
Jews for mixing with Poles were expiled form their society so most of this mix is in Poland. Wars with Turkey
Middle Eastern haplogroups such as J and G are also uncommon in Poland. Wheras Western and Southern European populations, as well as the Ukranians and southwest Russians, carry more of these Middle Eastern markers than Poles. This argues against any significant Jewish, Armenian and Turkish influence on the present Polish population, despite these groups' well documented presence in Polish history.
