Thurse males and females are similar in stature and have an average height of between 135 to 140 cm. They are pale-skinned with dark stripes and have straight or wavy hair. Red hair is more common among the Thurse than any other phenotypical group. Androgyny among Thurse males and high neoteny are also notable traits. The Thurse belong to several ethnic groups, the largest of which is the Selhat or Thuleans who occupy Thule (endonym: Telku) the northernmost of the British Isles. The Thurse phenotype is believed to have diverged from other Palaeolithic populations in Europe approximately 10,000 BP, originating in the Hercynian forest zone of central Europe. | ||
