    Here's a little discussion about some aspects of Indo-European mtDNA

    http://www.eupedia.com/forum/threads...ed-settlements

    I could be foggy on this, but I seem to recall that ancient hunters travelled from east to west just below the ice sheet, bringing central Asian DNA to northern Europe.

    From a purely visual and non-scientific viewpoint I do notice many northern Europeans having the epicanthic fold to a greater or lesser degree.

    Actor Barry Keoghan, Irish





    Actress Jennifer Lawrence. I don't know her ethnicity but she has the epicanthic fold (which the makeup artists usually try to obscure for some reason)
