Genealogy / The typical Polish look, or all Eastern Europeans [656]
Switezianka has about the best post to describe the "average" polish look
it is in the face that poles(and Slavic peoples) are set apart from the Germanic peoples next door
Rounder heads HIGH cheek bones often wide cheeks and the eye lines will turn ever so slightly up(betraying the eastern origin of Slavic peoples)
colour is light to dark(swarthy not black) just like Germanic and Celtic peoples
the Baltic states Ukrainians Czech Slovaks will all look very similar to Polish peoples
Finns look more Slavic because of the Laplanders but many still retain the Nordic looks
Hungarian's would have been just like Poles UNTIL the Hun's invaded giving the people more Asian/eastern looks to most of the population: even rounder heads broader cheeks less pointy bones in the cheeks but the years have rounded them off to look more like the Slaves to the north
you have to remember that Poland has Germanic and Slavic people mixed in many parts. Prussia is a fine example of it changing hands and the inter-mingling of the people there.....the same go's for Germany(and they don't like it....just as much as Poles don't like them)
Models in ANY country are not a good way of giving an "average" look to a people and Royalty they are some of the most Mixed people on the planet
PS: as for Fat America is a land of vast contrasts some states are Hugely fat others are very fit Australia does not have massive extremes But on "average" people maybe just over weight making the "average" Australian heavy but not necessarily Obese
