    Default Who looks more alike: French and Brits or Greeks and Bulgarians?

    Following on from this thread I made recently:
    https://www.theapricity.com/forum/sh...ople-or-Greeks

    I thought I'd ask this. Imo the two pairings are of comparable similarity - in other words, both French and Brits on the one hand and Greeks and Bulgarians on the other do overlap, but not as much as some people claim. What do others think?

    Both French and Brits share a strong Atlantid element, they both share a significant Germanic element too.

    Some Bulgarians can look like Greeks and vice versa, but not as much common as similarities between French and Brits.

    I was agreeing with you until the part highlighted in bold. The percentage of native French people with Mediterranean phenotypes is, for rather obvious reasons, several times higher than the percentage of native British people with them.

    If not for island Greeks, Pontians, etc. I would have said Bulgaria and Greece.

    French and brits I suppose, but France is so variable, I was tempted to say equal.

    The way I view it is this:

    French are not identical to Brits, but nor do they look wholly like Italians, Iberians, or Greeks. French look closer to Brits than to South Europeans.

    Greeks are not identical to Bulgarians, but nor do they look exactly like southern Italians, Sicilians, or Cypriots. Greeks look intermediate between the two.
