Who is closer; Spaniards and Greeks, or Brits and Poles?

[Sikeliot]

Pick one.

[Niegosław Paprocki]

Tough one. Some Brits can pass for Poles and some Greeks can pass for Spaniards, I don't know... neither.

Spanish and brits

It's Spaniards to Greeks, Poles to Brits on this one.

[Amapola]

None :O Post a cluster map and we will see...

I voted Sued Europa because the Greeks already colonised Iberia thousands years ago so there is at least some similarity there. On the other hand, the Polish colonization of Britain is much more recent and a bit more mixing is needed!

[Lorene]

Superficially; Spaniards and Greeks. Though I think they aren't 'that' similar.

[Ánleifr]

I say that Spaniards and Greeks are closer. Poles are Slavic and have that Slavic look to them whereas Brits are Celtic and Germanic and look more Atlanticid....

[Niegosław Paprocki]

Ultimately it comes down to specific details. It's extremely hard to say overall. Spaniards are Celto-Romance and Greeks are Hellenic. Two very different branches of the IndoEuro family. Slavs and Celto-Germanics are arguably closer but the look is totally different despite similar-ish pigmentation. The similarities are very superficial, merely existing in the pigmentation spectrum. It must come down to culture and religion. Brits are Catholic-Protestant and Poles are Catholic. Poles are influenced by Germans culturally so in terms of culture and religion Poles and Brits are closer, but genetically neither are.

Spanish and brits

The original Celts of Britain came from Iberia I believe. Studies have shown Brits and Spaniards are very close genetically.
