Would this man look typical for Crete?

[Sikeliot]

Pontid? AtlantoMed? East Med?

He is half Italian American and half Anglo-American.

I feel like he looks Cretan, or at least like the people from Crete posted on this forum.

[Catarinense1998]

East-Med I think.

[Myanthropologies]

He looks very Iranian.

[Myanthropologies]

LMAO omg, is he from Maryland? I just realized that's the Maryland flag from one of the pics

[Sikeliot]

I am surprised he looks like this when he is half Anglo-American.

[Tooting Carmen]

He looks very Iranian.

Could even pass as a more Caucasoid Pakistani too.

I think most Pakistanis look fully caucasoid, but yes.

[Alessio]

Looks perfectly normal for his background... You're exaggerating once more

[QUICAS]

East Med. Pass in Europe, Levant, Southern Cone, Northeast USA and Iran.

[Tooting Carmen]

I think most Pakistanis look fully caucasoid, but yes.

I meant as a Pashtun or Balochi rather than a more stereotypical 'Indian' type.

[Alessio]

lf Anglo-American.

This makes no sense at all. Ever took time to read about genetics and how the genetic code effects one's phenotype as well as the environment someone grows up in? Is his father is Italian he could easily have inherited much of the somewhat Mediterranean traits, you perceive as exotic. I know a woman who looks very light and she got it from her Southern Italians side while her British mom is much darker. You never know how your offspring come out - it's not a 50/50 mix of your pheno and that of your partner and there's phenotypical variation everywhere.

:laugh2::laugh2:

[Alessio]

You got to agree with me.


:laugh2::laugh2:

[Sikeliot]

You got to agree with me.

He has 0 North European influence in his face, he looks purely southern Italian and Aegean, and at most can pass as a lighter than average West Asian.

[Myanthropologies]

You got to agree with me.

You're right that genetics and environment both play a huge role in phenotype, but it doesn't mean this guy would stand out in Iran or Afghanistan.

[nightrider+]

Cretans look like this:

This man looks Turkish/Iranian.

[Myanthropologies]

There is nothing wrong with looking non-European. This man looks non-European, yet he is more attractive than most European men I know. Why are some so iffy abot his look being non-Euro?

[kleenex]

He doesn't look like a typical Cretan in the least bit but I don't think he looks East Asian either. I would have to say he has East Med features maybe Anatolid but he could pass in Sicily as well. If he shaved his beard I would bet all would agree he was less Eastern looking particularly since his eye color is quite light. I think his phenotype is being over exaggerated a bit.

[Alessio]

Now you're exaggerating as well..Look at the third picture and tell me he doesn't look European.

He doesn't look like a typical Cretan in the least bit but I don't think he looks East Asian either. I would have to say he has East Med features maybe Anatolid but he could pass in Sicily as well.

Reality prevails!

Do you have some kind of scanner to pick up ''Northern European traits'' -- come on, don't be ridiculous.. You say the same about me but you're a layman when it comes to my Dutch family's traits and the one's I have in common with them. Same goes for this guy.

[Myanthropologies]

Now you're exaggerating as well..Look at the third picture and tell me he doesn't look European.

What is "looking European"? The Finnish look like Sicilians?

[Odin]

He can pass.

[Alessio]

Anything that passes in significant portions of what we collectively call Europe, like e.g. regions or entire countries. In his case Southern Europe and Southeastern Europe in specific.

I think he looks like some Cretan examples who have been posted on this forum. But I don't know if he would actually be typical in Crete.

[idioteque]

In especially the first three photos he could pass in Iran.

[catgeorge]

Not typical - no.

[aherne]

Passes everywhere from Turkey to NW Indian Subcontinent. Extremely unlikely he's half Anglo-American (atypical as Italian even)

Sorry I am wrong, he is 1/4 (!!) Italian and the rest NW Euro.

[Newsboy]

Wouldn't say typical, but yes can pass as Cretan.

I don't think he looks Iranian. Light eyes and straight noses aren't too common in Iran. A combination of both even rarer.

[lameduck]

doesnt look like any type of Pakistani either. Looks European

[Kivan]

Maybe. I saw many Greeks with similar look.
