Cretans: State Main Phenotypes

[JMack]

I heard this was filmed in Crete and all people here are Cretans.

State main phenotypes and where they pass.

[Tooting Carmen]

East Meds and Pontids mainly. Although you-know-who denies it, I still think that Greeks are darker than people from most regions of Spain and Italy.

[Tooting Carmen]

What an ugly song btw. It sounds like a strange mix of Reggaeton, Bollywood and Holly Valance's "Kiss Kiss".

[Freeroostah]

Its a parody song of Tranquila by J-Balvin
Dont take it too serious LMAO :D

[Sikeliot]

They look like Calabrese and Sicilians to me, for the most part. The main guy looks like the stereotype mafioso look.

Holly Valance's song was a remake of the same song in Turkish by a Turkish performer, Tarkan.

[Tooting Carmen]

Imo, best fit to worse would be along the lines of:

Cyprus>South Italy/Malta>Iberia>Turkey/Bulgaria/Albania/Romania>former Yugoslavia/Caucasus>Levant>Central Europe>NE Europe>NW Europe/Iraq/Iran>Scandinavia

Ah yes, so it is a Turkish-Indian-Puerto Rican mix then. xD

I agree with this but I would switch southern Italy and Malta to first, and Cyprus would move down, since I think Cypriots look more Levantine. Though I also think Calabrese and Sicilians look close to Cyprus, so it would probably just be a switching of those two.

I think these people fit better in Cyprus and southern Italy both rather than mainland Greece though.

While these Cretans are still clearly distinct from Levantines - hence why I put them in the middle of the list - they fit many times better as Syrians than as Scots.

Yes, but I think that they also look more Levantine than mainland Greeks of any kind do, and about the same as far southern Italians.

Again this shit with east med
East Meds = Pontids
West meds = Atlantomeds

[Freeroostah]

Men can pass all over Greece, women look little bit more "exotic"

[Tauromachos]

Aegean Meds

Mostly

Either way they don't look very Levantine
Thats for sure

The rapper can pass in Northern Greece for sure
Don't see any reason why he shouldn't

They are Pontids mostly so they pass perfect as the rest of Greeks.
They dont pass as Sicilians or Cypriots
And they are 100% out of Levant, only 1 girl had phoenician roots and just that

Agreed mostly

They seem Pontid-Med
and are not very dark.

The girls looks more South East wards
but passes in the Southern Greek Islands

Girls are also Pontid in majority,
Cypriot girls are way different

[Seth MacFarlane]

East med , pontid . Some could fit in Balkans and others west Asia , they lean more towards Sicily and Cyprus .

[Sikeliot]

The closest foreign relatives of Crete are in fact Sicilians so it should not be a surprise they look similar to them.

Ok you find out 2 people, The man and the girl.
All the others are Pontids

Also what you mean with "East Med" ???
East med its not exist, its not phenotype

[DarknessWin]

From the whole video only 2 people look like Sicilians and all the others look North Greek
and pure balkan Pontid Med

[Sikeliot]

From the whole video only 2 people look like Sicilians and all the others look North Greek

From what I can see genetically Cretans range from being similar to Peloponnesians all the way to nearly Cypriot like, which is a similar range for Sicily. Most Cretans results on an individual level though do have slightly more North European type DNA than Sicily has.

LOL

Sicilians doesn't have an ''exact'' look and like most places they have a range of looks. Most Cretans could pass as Sicilians and vice-versa.

The problem with classification threads here is that most users are biased and know jackshit about classification.

As i say
Cretans are exactly halfway between Southern Mainland and Cyprus

[Hungarian_master]

East Med, Berid.

Sicily, Cyprus and Malta.

[Brás Garcia de Mascarenhas]

Bearded Master Race.

[Odin]

Mainly Pontic-Meds.

[averagedude]

East Meds and Pontids mainly.

[DarknessWin]

Cretans have Balkan look while Sicilians have not.
Especially the Singer is pure Balkan Pontid-Alpine with wide head

Of course many of them can pass as sicilians but they pass better as northern Greeks and Bulgarians

[DarknessWin]

East Med, Berid.

Sicily, Cyprus and Malta.

Where do you see Berid ????

[DarknessWin]

East Meds and Pontids mainly.

Again
East Med group = Pontid
West Med group = AtlentoMed

East med is not Phenotype

[DarknessWin]

From the people of the videoclip majority of them are Pontids,
they fit perfect in North Greece.

I agree that have some Cypriot like types but they are few and
also they have few north european types ....

So what i say is that they fit way better with the mainland Greece than Cyprus.
Actually i see not difference even with Macedonians .
Many Pontids

[MysteriousWays]

Pontid mostly. Some may have alpine. Typical Greek phenotypes imo.

[Odelia]

Somehwere between levantine looking, anatolian and balkan looking...which is a duh moment
