Welsh people: Who overlaps with them?

[Septentrion]

A significant portion of the Welsh are mixed with the other British Islanders obviously, but as someone who lives in Wessex and has on many occassion been to 'Wales' to vist family, the Welsh definately have the look of the spanish and Basques, Think Catherine Zeta Jones, Tom Jones, Gavin Henson and Kelly Jones (Sterophonics). The Welsh are also the shortest people on average in the UK, the English being the tallest.

Wrong the Scottish are the tallest people of Britain.

The Welsh are darker than other British, but they are similar to Belgians in hair and eye coloring not Iberians! Recent stats put Wales at 42% light-haired and over 60% light-eyed that similar to my country not Spain!

Other British Isles, French, and Iberians.

More or less

welsh are nothing like iberians.

[Insuperable]

English, Scots, Irish and French to a higher extent and others to a lesser extent.

welsh are nothing like iberians.

Agreed

[Smeagol]

Med element in Welsh is highly exaggerated. They primarily overlap with Northern French, and English people, and I think they're closer to most Germanic peoples than they are to Iberians.

The Atlantid types can be similar in both groups. However, it is true that some common Iberian phenotypes - Gracile Meds, Berids and South Meds - are rare if not non-existent in Wales.

Icelanders surprises me as an option for this.

IMO it is as good an option as Iberians.

[Nehellenia]

Being of minor Welsh descent, i would say they overlap with Bretons and Cornish (linguistically) and Basques (genetically).
