Melanesian and Neo-Melanesian types predominate, only one of them show significant Caucasoid input.
I didn't thought Sri Lankans were so dark, most of them (with exception of the caucasoid guy) could pass for African admixed individuals.
They qualify as blacks imo.

most of them look like indo melanids with east indo-brachid type admixture. Some veddoid shows in a couple of them.

I think sinhalese are a mixture of eastern indians such as odiyas/bengalis and south indians such as tamils/telugus.

I've seen a Harappa PCA with multiple Bengalis and Sinhalas and they both plotted pretty close to each other.

What percent can pass as Telugu?

He's Sinhala I think. He's Buddhist.

Most look just like regular Indians:

yeah true sinhalese are more south indian shifted compared to bengalis but yeah I think they are quite similar and plot very close to each other. I think most of them can pass as telugus, except for those few who have thick lips/jaws. Those are more tamil features imo. Telugus look slightly gracile and brachid compared to tamils.


is sangakarra sinhalese or tamil
and yeah sangakkara is sinhalese. He actually looks more bengali than tamil tbh..

The ones you posted are more Caucasoid looking but the ones in the OP look almost like pure Melanesians. It seems Sri Lankans are South Indians with less Caucasoid input.
LOL at that Butlerking guy saying Veddoid is proto Caucasoid. Some would pass better as African Blacks than as any Caucasoid ethnicity (including North Indians).

nope they have their heads covered, all of them look as dark as africans and thats why they are giving you a pseudo african vibe I guess. Yes many veddoid individuals are present in srilanka but most srilankans are caucasoid with slight mongoloid admixture. They have the most south indian/native genes of all ethnicites in south asia but they are not the most veddoid on the subcontinent.

most veddoid people in south asia are from Central and East India I think?

[Scar]

How so? The most Veddoid of all the subcontinent should have the most South Indian genes. It's basic anthropology, I guess.

Tamils have more native genes than Sinhalas do. Tamils live mostly in India.

No, high south indian doesn't necessarily mean you need to have highest veddoid showing up. Veddoid is a phenotype thats found highest in east-central india which is a mix of ASI, paleo mongoloid with a protocaucasoid influence. South indians have the ASI, protocaucasoid but not any ancient mongoloid type strain thats found highest in tribals. Along with the lack of ancient mongoloid, south indians and srilankans have way higher baloch than central indians.

Someone like this is highly veddoid influenced. These types show up in south india in few communities/tribes but the highest tribal population number wise is found in central india so thats why they have the highest veddoid population in south asia.

and here's a map showing the ASI/onge sound by region/state in india. It reaches 40%+ in east-central india.

I think 70-75% of them can pass as telugus. They look slighly eastern shifted though, especially the females but could pass nonetheless.


Tamils have more native genes than Sinhalas do. Tamils live mostly in India.
actually yeah true, if you include the low caste populations the tamils do probably have more south indian on average.

[Mingle]

actually yeah true, if you include the low caste populations the tamils do probably have more south indian on average.

With the exception of Tamil Brahmins, even if you exclude low castes, the Tamils would still have more South Asian. I think they might have a similar amount of South Asian as Telugus or maybe even less since they are pretty close to Bengalis.

Mainly Indo-Melanids and Veddoids.
