    Default Who looks more similar to the Irish: Russians or Sardinians?

    Sikeliot once sarcastically asked me this when he accused me of exotifying Greeks, when I claimed that they look closer to (some) Levantines than to NW Europeans.

    Russians because their facial metrics are more similar and of course pigmentation too, apart from some lighter alpine/atlanto med Sardinians most would look very foreign/gracile in Ireland.

    I personally would say Russians.

    I think there's a greater overlap in looks between all Northern Europeans, from west to east, than there is between Northern and Southern Europeans.

    I work with a number of Eastern Europeans here in Ireland although there are some who look distinctively slavic, many I originally assumed were Irish until they opened their mouths and spoke.

    As an ethnic Irish person I don't think I would look 'native' in Russia or Poland, but I don't think I would look overly foreign either. Whereas in Spain or Italy with my pale skin and keltic look I think I would.

    Irish don't look Slavic . Their eyes are very different and they smile.

    Russians. Sardinians are an outlier population and Russians and Irish are closer genetically. The genetic distance is larger between north and south than between west and east.

    Dear lady you are very smart but those numbers are Polish. Armenians look more like Irish than either group.
