Do British and French people really look that alike?

[Tukhara]

I agree with Smeagol

[Gizem]

I think so. At least the French with less med influence.

[Melki]

French are not our brothers, fortunately.

I don't have any problem with Spaniards, but I wouldn't dream of having you for brother.

Come on admit it you have some wet dreams about that

French are more like iberians and North Italians. A very typical example of northern French is decart

[Melki]

I live in southwestern France, and most Gascons look exactly like the common Spaniards. I found more northern phenotypes when i was in Alsace or Normandy. But still, British people are lighter.

French people are overall "better-looking"(personal opinion), with more Alpinid, Atlantid, Sub-Nordid, Dinarid, Mediterranid related looks, and less Nordid(Keltic, Hallstatt, Anglo-Saxon, Troender, North-Atlantid) admixtures and also less Cromagnid(Bruenn, Faelid, Palaeo-Atlantid). The French are not overall quite as pale as the British who seem to have more narrow features. Though a few Northern French people look British, especially those from regions which were familiar to British people specifically Normandy and Brittany. You know the history, in other words regions which were heavily settled by British people at one point in time ( In this case, coastal Brittany) or regions of Northern France which were settled by Saxons around about the same time they went to England as well. We also see that the Y-DNA haplogroup R1b-subclade (Atlantic Branch) which prevails in Wales, Ireland, Highland Scotland, is also common in Britanny. While the most Germanic parts of France would show similarity to England.

Now as a whole, I'd say the Northern Swiss, Southern Germans, Belgians, Southern Dutch look more like the Northern French than the British while Southern Swiss, Iberians and Italians look more like Southern French.

Britons are to the French what Scandinavians are to the Germans.

The vast majority of ethnic French are dark haired.

The vast majority of ethnic French have (medium to dark) brown hair unlike the majority of ethnic Spaniards, Italians, Greeks, Albanians, Portuguese who have (dark to blackish) brown hair. So just saying that French people are "dark-haired" is too vague.
