How often would you be able to distinguish an Iberian from a Greek?

[Sikeliot]

I've asked other comparative questions but never in direct format.

I have seen, on a few posts on these forums, that due to the similarities between Pontid and Atlanto-Med, there is interchangeability between Atlanto-Med Iberians and Pontid Greeks.

How often would you, on average, be able to distinguish them?

[Han Cholo]

I generally am. Greeks tend to have skinnier faces and more everted eyes, and a different kind of bearth growth pattern.

[Sikeliot]

I can usually tell the difference, but given how far apart geographically the two areas are, it catches me off guard that I often do see Greeks who strike me as looking similar to an Iberian rather than the stereotypical image of a Greek I have in my mind.

[Comte Arnau]

Always. Except if I saw Fàbregas in the street, whom I'd think Greek.

[Damião de Góis]

It depends, i don't know greeks very well. I've seen pictures of some who i wouldn't be able to distinguish and others who were the opposite.

[Midori]

I can usually recognise Greeks cause their faces look familiar to me, which is not the case with Iberians.

[rashka]

I can recognize both groups too, since I have known both groups. I don't think mextremist is right.

[Gospodine]

Greeks look overall, more diverse in phenotypes and a little less "refined", in the sense that it's the cross-roads where Dinarics, Meds, CM influence, Anatolids, Pontids and Baltids meet, and as such there's a sort of clash that produces a very unstabilized blend of sub-races.

Iberia has a nice bottleneck at the Pyrenees that has protected it from significant gene flow from the North, with most of it's post-UP admixture coming via it's Mediterranean coast.
So they generally tend to have a more similar look.

I can't tell much difference

you are talking about the southern European country with more North and Atlantic/Western genes.




Spain's averages Polako:

38.74% Southern European
33.70% North Atlantic ("Irish" - Celtic)
16.21% North Sea (as discussed in this thread, probably "Gothic" mostly)
10.40% North-Central European
0.75% Sub-Saharan African
0.16% Eastern European
0.04% North + East Eurasian

but I understand what you mean I leave to you the false Nordicism.
