🇳🇱 Genetic Landscape of Netherlands

The Dutch are famous for being the tallest people on Earth, with average male height of 183cm. This is partly genetic and partly nutritional — the Netherlands experienced a 20cm height increase in just 150 years. Genetically, the Dutch are Northern European with Frisian, Saxon, and Frankish roots. The exceptionally high rate of blue eyes (60%) and blonde hair makes these 'common' traits in the Netherlands, while brown eyes are the rare ones. The Dutch also have one of Europe's highest rates of natural red hair.
