"Aha. The horse-faced appearance of some English people (e.g. Camilla Parker-Bowles) is explained at last! "

I always thought Joni Mitchell had big teeth.

After no small amount of research I discovered that modern central Swedish rural populations still exhibit the "large teeth" phenomenon.

They are not, however, Sa'ami, although I suspect some Sa'ami have, of course, found opportunity to "mate with them" from time to time ~ that being the normal course of events for folks who live out in the woods with nothing to do but chase reindeer, chop wood and try to grow rye.

Joni Mitchell had Norwegian grandparents who allegedly had “Sami blood.” Her large teeth hypothetically come from the Nordic (Germanic) component of her heritage, but she has prominent cheekbones which could be from the Sami component. A map in Wikipedia shows that Sami once occupied most of Norway but were pushed back, much as Indians were in N. America, although there are many whites who claim a trace of Indian blood.
