If Bell Beakers invaded Ireland how is it that many people there look distinct from other Europeans?

I love the Irish and the Scottish and the Welsh and the English and the Cornish = British Isles

Ireland is said to be overwhelmingly Bell Beaker in genetic makeup but the fact is that people there still look extremely distinct to the Germans or Dutch or wherever the Beakers came from, a pure Brunn is extremely hard to find in continental Europe for example.

They don't look that distinct. That's a complete exaggeration and not something that is supported by anything other than your own personal opinion and you would have to acknowledge you have some odd ideas about populations?

[Grace O'Malley]

There are substantial differences i would say in that the features of the people are a bit more rounded, funnily enough i was in an Irish pub yesterday enjoying some of the best Guinness i have ever had and the bar owner had a very Irish look, that sort of short headed brunn type that is seen a lot with a reddish complexion. I find that the closest Brits to the Irish are the Scots from the highlands and islands but they still look different.

These are some Irish students. Wow they are so unique and different. What an alien species.

Irish look like their neighbours. They aren't that odd.

Some of those kids look quite Irish, i think there are some very distinct examples of Irish looks, someone like this would be very unlikely to pass easily in France or even Belgium and would be quite rare in most of England, she looks classically Irish

I'd say that, she looks typically pretty Irish (red hair and light complexion), but you would get many people like that in other parts of the British Isles (England included obviously).

By the way, there are English counties which are just about as red-haired as Ireland.

She would fit right in if she lived in northeastern Tennessee or southwestern Virginia. She certainly would not be seen as exotic.

What about this fella? woman to his right looks really Irish too, woman on far right actually looks more like some lighter Spanish women that i used to see at church when visiting Spain

Nothing odd or unusual about them for any part of the UK either and you know it. Now you are saying one woman looks like she could be lighter Spanish? So much for Irish looking distinct from other Europeans then? Which is it?
