The Nordic race is one of the putative sub-races into which some late-19th to mid-20th century anthropologists has divided the Caucasian race. People of the Nordic type are mostly found in Northern Europe,[1][2][3] particularly among populations in the areas surrounding the Baltic Sea, such as Balts, Germanic peoples, Baltic Finns and certain Celts and Slavs.[4][5] The physical traits of the Nordics were described as light eyes, light skin, tall stature and a dolichocephalic skull.
