Who is more alike; Irish-Russian, or Portuguese-Sicilian?

I think if it had been Spanish-Sicilian or Irish-Russian, I'd say Irish-Russian are further. But I don't think Portuguese are "pan-southern European", I think they look distinct, one of the most recognizable of all European groups, on par with how you can tell Finns relatively easily, and Brits.

You are exaggerating again. Yes some people have a distinct look, but as a whole we look southern european like la vita e bella said. People with distinct looks can be found in pretty much all countries.

The prevalence of heavily archaic "Cromagnid" types is much higher in Portuguese people than in anywhere else in Southern Europe. As a whole, it makes you stand out. This look doesn't exist in my family though.

Think of something like Berid/Paleoatlantid.

Other southern european countries have distinct types too. I really don't know in which countries Raul Gonzalez or Roberto Baggio could pass other than their native countries.

But you have a much higher prevalence of a distinctive type, compared to other regions. The only thing I can think of comparable is a Sardinian phenotype.

Are the Portuguese and Sicilians really so different?

Do we? I don't think so... Raul and Baggio types among spanish and italians are as common as that type you are mentioning.

Portuguese-Sicilian is more alike. Portuguese look southern European. There are unique-looking individuals, but not more than other Europeans.

True, but there are Portuguese and Spaniards can look British as well.

Ok here is an example.. in this photo are TWO distinct Portuguese types that are recurrent throughout the photos but distinct for Portugal.

Fourth from left is the archaic CM type,far right is the horsy Atlantid type.
