Had an argument with people I know. They said your Portuguese if your just born in Portugal which I disagreed. Got pretty heated lol.
Most Portuguese are Atlantid or Atlanto-Med and look Western Euro. Berid elements are also common, and are what distinguishes them, occasionally, from other Western Europeans.
dgd
Well what I have found out is that a lot of Portuguese Americans have some Cape Verdean ancestry and then the rest is Portuguese, but they just identify as Portuguese. As such, many of them will be dark and even often Puerto Rican or "Hispanic" looking and so people then associate that look with Portugal.
There is no such thing as Berids, in Portugal.
The Portuguese are neither different from their fellow Iberian brothers, the Spanish.
Both look alike, since both suffered the same invasions of people, and expulsions, in an historical parallel.
Berids are characterized for their Brachycephalic skulls.
The Brachycephalic Index in Portugal, only accounts for 5% of the population, and those same 5% are of Cro-Magnon extraction, as the Portuguese Anthropologist António A. Mendes Correia stated in his book, "Raizes de Portugal".
Further, the Portuguese Professor Eusébio Tamagnini noted that, the Cephalic index of the Portuguese population is defined as Dolicho-Mesocephalic, after making an observation in 11.658 adults.
Below is the Cephalic Index for Portuguese Males and Females, by Dr. Luís de Pina in Centro de Estudos Demográficos do Instituto Nacional de Estatística (1931):

Below is the the Cephalic Index for the overall population, by Prof. Eusébio Tamagnini in "A proposito do indice cefálico dos Portugueses" (1954):

Below is a piece of cartography, locating Berids in Europe.

I don't know who is the author of this map, but if it serves it right. There are no Berids in Portugal. Let alone 'common' as you claim it. There are more Berids in France, than there is in Portugal.
In certain parts of the East coast maybe.
If you look through this thread, I only see a handful of people that probably are part Cape Verdean or Angolan, etc.
