[Hamlet]

Armenoid right?

Plus something else that would increase his robustness, though.

Not sure

Could be considered Armenoid looking i admit or as some sort of atypical Dinaro-Med or Alpine-Med...

Where would you see him passing ?

Anyone with more Ideas..?

Any opinion is legal as long as it is honest...

Soz, for some reason some of my quotes aren't appearing as notifications.

He does not seem Dinaro-Med or Alpine-Med at all though.

I would say he passes around Anatolia and Armenia, like most Armenoids :P

Ok legal point of view i would think also that he passes as Armenian and i think he passes reasonable well as Cypriot Greek.

Though his origins are predominantly form Southern Mainland"Laconia" i think and his look is not that atypical for parts of Southern Greece.
Will have to check if he has some other parts of Greek ancestry..

Keep looking..

Thanks so far
Anyone else?

[Uskok]

Dinaro-east med with berid maybe slight Borreby and i dont know if its pseudo armenoid or is it armenoid big influence

[Sikeliot]

I don't think he looks Armenian.

[kleenex]

I always wondered about his looks because I thought they were sort of atypical for Laconia (where his family is from). Not sure how to classify him. I don't see Armenoid. I would say an a sort of Eastern shifted Alpine Med maybe. I wonder if he's a Maniot.

[Odin]

Dinaro-Med + Alpine.

[DarknessWin]

Dinaromed - Alpine

He's from southeastern Lakonia, not Mani. It is the most arid part of Lakonia besides Mani. There are practically zero Slavic toponyms in this part.

Oh shit his daughter sings Lady Gaga songs ^^

[Kouros]

Kind of reminds me of Onassis. He looks Southern Italian to me.

[Columella]

Head seems Low Meso. Luckily he is bald.
As a type he is pred.Mediterranean a good trait d’union bwtween South European and W Asiatic/Iranid types.

[JMack]

Dinaro-Med + Alpine.

[Bobby Martnen]

Armenoid + Med

Looks a lot like a Jewish guy I knew

[Pigling]

Most likely have Middle Eastern component.

Exotic East Mediterranid.

[Hamlet]

How is this guy not pred. Armenoid, all these people saying Dinaro-Mediterranid + Alpine just to keep everything kosher - there couldn't possibly be Armenoid types in Greece could there?

Note the correlations between these three maps:

The reason for Armenoids being less present in the lower Danube than would be expected from these comparative maps is simply because there was a large population already living there, so the incoming R1b-L23 Armenoids mixed more (proportionally), and hence their Armenoid features were diluted more. Also, the map for some reason acknowledges the contribution of Armenoids to Carpathids, but doesn't represent it on the map (if it did, there would be more in the lower Danube). But I digress, the conclusion is pretty obvious here.

Agreed. If anything, he's a mixture between Armenoid and Alpine, just like me. I don't think he would have any trouble passing among Jews as well either.

ONly that he he hasn’t got the Armenoid head shape, and is certainly not an alpine.
He is far from Brachycefalic but pred. Mediterranean type.

Here he is younger

[Sikeliot]

He still does not look Armenoid nor Jewish to me.

In Peloponnesos noone would doubt he is Greek nor would confuse him for Armenian

[Sikeliot]

For what it is worth he does look more typically southern Italian rather than Greek but I still do not see Armenoid in him.

Armenoid is not just about the nose.. his facial structure otherwise is nothing close to it.

[MysteriousWays]

Likely some mix of Dinaro-Med. Nose is not sufficient to make someone Armenoid in and of itself. Can pass as Greek, Sicilian, Calabrian (FWIW, I don't think he's hugely typical for any of them) and can also pass as Armenian. There are other phenotypes in Armenia besides Armenoid.

[FilhoV]

Dinaro Med plus Alpine

[Newsboy]

Predominantly Mediterranean

[kleenex]

He looks fully Med, Alpine or Dinarid. His nose isn't fully typical of the Peloponnese but wouldn't say it was Armenoid either.

[teodor11]

Anatolian

I will say Raine I am curious to see your face and I can only imagine many members here are as well ?

If it’s like your disgusting behavior I wouldn’t be surprised if you look like Medusa on crack

[RenaRyuguu]

He looks like a cool vampire

[tipirneni]

looks Egyptian

What if real Egyptian is actually pure Greek?

Egyptians in ancient time had Greek admix. But Eqypt is connected to continent & more ancient finds were found in North Africa so it will be other way around.
