Who looks more alike: Finns and Cypriots or Punjabis and Tamils?

In other words, is there a greater continuity between a slightly Mongoloid-admixed group of Northern Europeans and a Southern European-Levantine hybrid group on the one hand, or between a heavily West Asian-admixed Indian group and a very Australoid Indian group on the other?

Cypriots are not entirely the same as Greeks from Greece, although I do think that Sikeliot and some others do exaggerate the differences between them.

Punjabis and other North Indians still score something like 20% West Asian, if I remember rightly. But either way, the difference between Punjabis and Tamils is still pretty stark.

The two groups are pretty easy to distinguish 90%+ of the time...

It depends - would you say that Punjabis are that different from e.g. Rajasthanis?

Cypriots lack the North Euro genetic input that can be quite substantial in some places in Greece.
