Greek-Spaniard twins?

a few selected pictures are worthless, compare hundreds of Greek athletes with hundreds of Spanish athletes.

the difference is obvious, East Vs West.

From what I hear from Spaniards the ancient peoples of Iberia were Basques and later came Celts and Romans. I'm not interested on genetic make up, I focus on looks. What's so different in Spaniards from Italians or Greeks?

Well no, the Romans didn't had an impact, as proved later with genetics, and I doubt the ancient Iberian were basque-like, related of course, but not the exactly the same thing..Basques are just a branch of the iberian peoples.

It's not that the average person from each looks so different but you have phenotypes in Italy and Greece that could never exist in Spain;

Basically there is some overlap between all southern europeans, but each has its own look also. There are faces you can only find in a given country. Think of it like this

Those pictures are actually worthless. Many of them are not fully Greek.

Group photos of RANDOM people is the best comparison material. Not athletes neither celebrities.

the camera takes what is in front.

Having been to a Greek festival I can say, most of the people there looked Southern European and while a trained eye would know the people were not Spanish, I think most people could have confused the majority of them for Spanish.

I used to think Southern Europeans all looked so different but really, you find the same basic Med types in all of them (Spain, Portugal, Italy, and Greece) and the difference comes in that Iberians have more Atlantic and Berid influence and Italians and Greeks have more West Asian.

Yes, but the angle can make them look strange. Not a good photographer
