Do you agree that the most distinct feature of Europeans is the high prevalence of light hair/eyes?

[Tooting Carmen]

When compared to other racial groups, that is. After all, many MENAs and East Asians and even some South Asians can have light skin, but the difference is they almost uniformly have dark hair and dark eyes. By contrast, even countries like Portugal, Spain, Italy, Albania, Bulgaria and Greece still have many more people (per capita) with light hair and light eyes than anywhere in Asia or Africa does.

Europeans also have distinct facial features, as to not really resemble other non-European populations of the world. Even the facial similarities between Southern Europeans and the brown world is superficial; and Northern Europeans have high tendencies to exhibit similar phenotypical features, across wider swaths of land from Ireland to Russia and still look distinct from the rest of the world.

I would say light hair more than anything as non European groups have prevalence of light eyes such as in Iran, Afghanistan and Turkey.

Hair, eyes, skin, and soul. And Northern Europeans are distinct from Southern Europeans too, who are as close to Near Easterners.

Where would you place the French? in Northern Europe?

Broadly Northern European, like every nation above the Alps/Pyrenees. Obviously Southern French can't really be considered so though.

This is a silly question, and as expected it brings out the tards. When speaking of physical features what is the most distinct is what sticks out enough to differentiate one group from another. So yes light eyes, etc. would stick out when you line up the average Swede with a Japanese fellow or a northern Indian with light skin.

Yes. Here hair colour in a world wide context:



But if you go as for importance I think that the most distinctive features of Europeans are mental ones. In a generalising way you can mention: a strive for individual freedom in combination with a comparably high level of many aspects of living conditions such as technique, music, economics and state administration. The latter thing is actually an extra challenge when there is a strive for individual freedom.

Another dispensable post from Clownonel obsessively pointing out the (claimed) stupidity of others.

Yes, I do obsessively point out the stupidity of others. That's a good observation.
