Determining Your Nordic / Aryan Subtype

A frequently referenced and fairly well known website is called the "Society for Nordish Anthropology" which can help you assess your racial ancestry. Far from being just a website devoted to racialist thought it can help you identify your specific racial sub-type. For example My features are most closely aligned to Anglo-Saxon, which comes as no surprise, my family is very much of Wales. My best friend however is of the North-Atlantid sub-sect. Again hardly a surprise, his family is primarily from Irish working class neighborhoods of Boston where the child-rearing peoples rarely bred outside the neighborhood.

My additional coursework that was general education in University (e.g. well rounded classical courses) I spent a good portion of my time engrossed in Anthropology coursework. Business can after all be a very dull subject matter. I came across this site as a cross-reference on another set of coursework totally by accident. I had it bookmarked and think it's worthy of sharing, and a nice site to boot.

Physical anthropology today is in an interesting flux. In introductory chapters they demonstrate the physical, socio-cultural and mental capacity that exist as it relates to the different racial groups on the planet. Later they will complain that police use forensic anthropology to determine the race of victims as being unsavory. One wonders if graduate students still write text books these days, as the assumption is disproved by earlier statements but found to be politically incorrect.

But make no mistake about it, there is a clear and defined difference genetically between races when considering the pure physical characteristics which define a race. Before you leave to look at the website and consider your own racial sub-type I'd invite you to consider the following quote from the father of modern evolutionary biology; Charles Darwin.

"At some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilised races of man will almost certainly exterminate, and replace, the savage races throughout the world. At the same time the anthropomorphous apes, as Professor Schaaffhausen has remarked, will no doubt be exterminated. The break between man and his nearest allies will then be wider, for it will intervene between man in a more civilised state, as we may hope, even than the Caucasian, and some ape as low as a baboon, instead of as now between the negro or Australian and the gorilla.
