How similar are Iranians and Iraqis in terms of phenotype?

Please discuss.

Somewhat. I would say there are more Iraqis who look Iranian than the other way around.

[Babak]

I guess depends on the region. Southern iraqis, not that much. Northern ones start to look more similiar to Iranians.

[Pahli]

There is a overlap since some Iraqis have Persian ancestry, otherwise they aren't that similar, they are between Saudis and Iranians.

[Thambi]

Agree with Pahli. They are like a transition between southern middle east and Iran. Closer to iranians though.

[Sikeliot]

Northern Iraq might look closer to Armenians and Iranians. Southern Iraq is an extension of the Arabian Peninsula.

Very close overall to Iranians/Kurds, as is shown by auDNA Iraqis, both south and north are basically Arabian-Iranian mixes.
