Turkey? No.

[Linet]

Turkey :loco: ?

[aimar]

Apart from Turkey yes, who else could it be?

[Styrian Mujo]

Why not Turkey? It has less north Euro admixture and is therefore more Mediterranean.

[Alphawolf]

That's obvious: Turkey :P

[Trun]

Why not Turkey? It has less north Euro admixture and is therefore more Mediterranean.

I think the meaning of the thread is about looks, not genetics, but even if genetics are included, Turks are filled with non-European components.

[aimar]

But they have more west-asian, and turanid, etc....
Regarding phenotypes 90% of portuguese people are meds or some med-derivation, I don't think the same can be said about turks.

Greeks overlap greatly with Turks and are geneticaly more west Asian non"European" than North European or west Med(could also be considered non"European").

Mediterranean looks aren'r exclusive to Europe.

[Sikeliot]

Purest Mediterraneans are Southern Italy, Sicily, SE Spain, and the Greek islands.

[Balmung]

I don't see how a country like Italy can be pure anything really lol.

[Styrian Mujo]

The Mediterranean type is the primary phenotype of the entire near east and it is often combined with south Asian and SSA as you go towards the south and with Nordic in Europe.

[Hadouken]

Mediterranean looks aren't exclusive to Europe.

this

[Styrian Mujo]

One could argue that some south Italian regions are populated by people who are genetically almost purely MENA without any proper Mesolithic European ancestry.

Is this guy mediterranean? if it is,portuguese people shouldn't be consiedered mediterraneans then.

[wvwvw]

Greeks overlap greatly with Turks and are geneticaly more west Asian non"European" than North European or west Med(could also be considered non"European").

Funny to hear that from a self-hating Bosnian Balkanogypo who wishes he was German.

[Alphawolf]

Is this guy mediterranean?

Yes.

[aimar]

Yes.

He looks like an arab to me

I see, It's all so clear now.

[Trun]

Mediterranean looks aren'r exclusive to Europe.

I think this thread is about which countries are most Med in the sense of: Atlanto-Med, Pontid, Gracile Med and East Med.

[Hadouken]

the right answer might be sardinia

[Trun]

the right answer might be sardinia

It isn't a country.

I think it is either Malta or Cyprus.

[Hadouken]

It isn't a country.



yeaah but still

[SardiniaAtlantis]

the right answer might be sardinia

Yes. Sardinia is the purest Med place in the entire region genetically therefore it would be Italy on account of Sardinia belonging to italy politically. Sardinia may not be a country yet but it is none the less an autonomous region and should be counted just as many Kurds would count Kurdistan as a stand in for their country.

[cally]

Italy and Greece definitely.

[MINARDOWICZ]

NO NO NO! You all have it wrong. Sardinians... They win hands down.

[Smeagol]

If you mean Mediterranid in an anthropological sense, then all of those countries have non-Mediterranean influence, but especially Turkey, which has a lot of Armenid, and Turanid types and also some Orientalid influences.

[MINARDOWICZ]

If you mean Mediterranid in an anthropological sense, then all of those countries have non-Mediterranean influence, but especially Turkey, which has a lot of Armenid, and Turanid types and also some Orientalid influences.

Sardinia, C Italy, Iberia, etc. Those are very true Med places.

[SardiniaAtlantis]

If you mean Mediterranid in an anthropological sense, then all of those countries have non-Mediterranean influence, but especially Turkey, which has a lot of Armenid, and Turanid types and also some Orientalid influences.

Yes but Sardinia has the least amount.

isnt orientalid a med type ? as far as I know it is

[Smeagol]

isnt orientalid a med type ? as far as I know it is

No, Orientalid means Arabid, and Iranid.

[SardiniaAtlantis]

Winner of the Med Championships!

[Hadouken]

No, Orientalid means Arabid, and Iranid.

they are med types too

[Smeagol]

they are med types too

No, they are different.

[Hadouken]

No, they are different.

really ? hmm I read that the anthropologists considered them to be med (outtakes of some books floating around in some sites) but you could be right

[Comte Arnau]

Sardinia is so Med that all the rest of nations bathed by the Med are not even close.

[wvwvw]

really ? hmm I read that the anthropologists considered them to be med (outtakes of some books floating around in some sites) but you could be right

You are a typical example of an Orientalid

[Hadouken]

You are a typical example of an Orientalid

agree

[Comte Arnau]

really ? hmm I read that the anthropologists considered them to be med (outtakes of some books floating around in some sites) but you could be right

Because according to Coon and company, everyone from Wales to India is a Med.

Something that just makes as much sense as saying that everyone from Iceland to Mongolia is a Nord.
