You mix up anthropology terms like UP types as if they are some isolate that survived while there were new populations coming in. That's not the case so I don't know why people don't understand this. Any populations that emerged in Ireland were not from the UP but came in the Bronze Age. While some populations in mountainous regions (like some in the Balkans) might have been more isolated and cut off no populations are that isolated that they retained distinct HGs for example. All Europeans are mixed with southern Europeans have higher Neolithic farmer ancestry and northern Europeans having more Steppe ancestry but they are all a mixture of Steppe, HG, European farmer with some populations having extra near eastern ancestry and North African etc. No UP survivors though.

I think the pre bronze age and pre neolithic types would have been basically UP though, the oldest skulls in NW Europe are all quite robust. Anyway what i am trying to say is that pale types or UP types to use another term seem to emerge in the Balkans at quite a high frequency but in Italy they are much less common.

If some populations are very different than some neighbouring populations this is most likely due to them not mixing. Also in smaller populations if they kept separate from neighbouring ones than some recessive traits can be more common than in the neighbouring one even if they have similar origins. Also isolation can make a population diverge from the source population. There are plenty of examples of this.

Oliver, I have to ask. Are you trolling us?

Irish do not have "a lot" of Arab like phenotypes. That's a crazy thing to say.
Just a tiny number of "Arabs" might look like your 1st and 3rd examples in countries like Syria, Lebanon or among Palestinians etc.
No Saudi or Gulf people look like this unless they are mixed with others.
