swarthy brits

[Corvus]

In my personal opinion which is also emphasized by many anthropologists there are almost no "genuine" swarthy Brits.
The British look unlike Central Europeans very homogenous with no extreme Nordic types but also with very few Mediterranian individuals except some which are generally classified as Palaeoatlantid


The standard British phenotype ranges from Keltic Nordic to Borreby/Brunn, which means lots of people with brown hair but distincitive Nordic facial structure accompanied by often very light skin pigmentation

Kate Middleton is hardly swarthy...

to me she is swarthy. she is Skin type II tending towards III. thats southern european colouring. you might call her light olive.

[Mortimer]

It is just my opinion that being "off white" is not enough to be swarthy. The way i see it, you have to have the whole package! Like many of the other examples people posted above do.

ok but i have different opinion. i think imago d e i Looks much like her, maybe imago is a half shade paler then her even. and imago is southern italian

Is swarthiness determined by a combination of skin tone, hair colour, and eye colour?

Many British have dark eyes and hair, but type I or II skin. Can they really be called swarthy?

On averege British can barely tan, anyway variation in terms of pigmentation do occour in every european population, including Scandinavians.

No they can`t. That`s the point I wanted to stress out.
An Englishman or woman will always stand out in Central Europe because of the general Nordic appearance, irrespective if they are dark haired, blonde or sth. in between.

i would to know how often are British without light features, because here English who are tourist don't differ specially from Scandinavian however in forum isn't extrange to see English with different grade of pigmentation who those who are seen here

I suspect that dihydroxyacetone has a role to play in some examples of swarthiness, but we do have an Altantid strain, as you know, and these people would tend to come from the West of England, where there are swathes of swarthiness.

The English tourists that you are probably used to (with the twangy accents and glottal stops) probably come from the South-East of England, where darker complexions are less common.

The South-East of England is where England's material wealth is more highly concentrated and easily accessible, and it has been noted that the local people from these regions sometimes like to travel to Spain, misbehave and get drunk in the heat, and give themselves sunburn.
