Problem with that is it has 25 times as much iron as any other mammal. So, you eat nothing but seal your body needs a way to get rid of the excess iron. I think you've seen those guys with copper colored arms underlain with iron deposits ~ probably that, and also Intermittent Scandinavian Porphyria ~ plus 82 other different main gene sets for liver function.
At these latitudes all those folks are deficient in B-12 (and some other B vitamins, but mostly B-12).
The ladies have a rounder face than people to the Souf' in Europe ~ those with a shot of Indo-European ancestry. That pronounced cheek bone is a recurrent theme though and can sometimes get out of hand ~ plus dental dysplasia (naturally missing, or extremely crooked teeth) is a hallmark. One survey found that 18% of Sa'ami had three or more natural teeth that never came in!
I have a big bunch of cousins who can pass for Skolt Sa'ami, but most Sa'ami in Europe are found in Norway and speak Northern Sa'ami language.
The Scandinavians have take two approaches to the Sa'ami over the centuries. First they tried to ship them out to America ~ and secondly they tried to force them to become good little Finns, Swedes or Norwegians.
More recently they've given up that stuff.
Interesting. Thanks. A very interesting region and people. The freaking mosquitoes in the summer must have been and are brutal.

LOL! Do they deliver? I have a Fed Ex number? Send me a Kirsten Dunst clone who is not pro-Obama. ;-)
“More recently they’ve given up that stuff.”
Probably not the type of people you want to piss off. My guess is they are pretty strong and hearty people.
Sa’ami and high IQs?
Koreans supposedly are number 1 followed by Finns. The Finnish language is supposedly one of the most difficult.
So are Sa’ami IQs above avg? I would guess Renee marrying Kenny Chesney and Dunst liking Obama is not a good sign. Maybe Sa’ami women have underdeveloped “gaydar?’ ;-)
Blam mentioned Richard Gere’s eyes. He is descended from the Pilgrims so more NE Anglo Saxon old Americana.
I think he just squints and smirks like Edward Norton.
