I like when people live by stereotypes ... "uncommon in southerners' ... you ever been to Italy or speaking by stereotypes?

In Piedmont, regon where both Buffon and I are born, 40% of the population has blue eyes.

Well no, its not that ''uncommon''... :) really.

I have.
I don't know abou regions though.

The blondism is rare in Italy (15-20% of total population).
Light eyes not... northern regions have about from 30 to 50% of light eyes, southern region from 20 to 40% (Sicilia and Puglia are the southern region with more blue eyed people).

However, i've noticed that italian blue eyes are different from a germanic or slavic blue-eyes .

[Rouxinol]

Maybe it's that uncommon as eyes without epicanthal folds or traces of it in Latvia and around or Scandinavia.

He's somewhat dinarisized, but not Dinarid, more like an Atlanid/North Atlantid (going after skull shape), in my opinion.

[Falkata]

Oh yeah It´s really uncommon. Here in the desert we take pictures of blue eyed people because they are like ornitorronics.

I´ve never seen blue-eyed people until I travelled abroad to the north visiting the mighty aryan lands like Thule, the Valhalla, Latvia...

Why? Explain plz.

[Ibericus]

He looks italian, and light eyes are not at all uncommon in southern Europe.

[Blossom]

Why? Explain plz.

I think its about the color. The north blue eye is way lighter and tend to seem to sky blue color. The south blue eye tend to get mixed between dark blue and grey or green.:) IMO.

I do not agree, we can find blue eyes of different colors on both latitudes, and green eyes that are a mixture of blue and brown, I admit I was surprised to read this. We can find pure blue eyes in black mestizos.

[Peyrol]

Why? Explain plz.

The real "pure blue" is not very common (30-40% of the total light eyes), infact here in Italy we do not talk about "Occhi blu" but of "occhi azzurri"... in fact, are often much lighter than the Germans and Scandinavians pure blue... I never understood why...maybe because many light eyed people don't derive from the Germanic invasions, but from the Celts of padanian plain absorbed by the roman expansion.

[Blossom]

Well, ofc you can find blue eyes in different places but IMO that's the difference between a south blue eye (in general aspects) and a north blue eye (in general aspects).

[Lábaru]

I remember that purest light eyes are gray (without pigmentation), not blue.

[Peyrol]

I remember that purest light eyes are gray (without pigmentation), not blue.


I can write a "naive statistic" about light eyes in Italy:

The total ethnic italian population is 55 millions (of total 61 millions); 35-40% of our have light eyes....in percentage, 40% of "light eyed" have azure eyes, 20% azure/grey, 20-25% pure "nordic blue" and the rest green, yellow/amber, very light brown, etc etc.


About blondism, is another story :laugh:

Blue eyes are blue-eyes, are the same everywhere.

[Blossom]

Blue eyes are blue-eyes, are the same everywhere.

yes if they're blue as the color is defined

[Rosenrot]

He looks italian, and light eyes are not at all uncommon in southern Europe.

even in Brazil it's not uncommon. And we're most of Mediteranic or Iberic heritage.

I'm aways thinking how strange is the way people define Atlantid from North-Atlantids....
A thin line between dark or light eyes.

I don't even see one classification with a Dark Nordic till now.

This map is not accurate.

[Comte Arnau]

Half of my family were banned to the North because they dared have blue eyes. We must respect our Southern purity and they understood it.

[Odoacer]

This map is not accurate.

Do you have an accurate one?

[Rouxinol]

This map is not accurate.

Then give us one more accurate. And a reference. Don't draw it yourself. :thumb001:

[alzo zero]

This map is not accurate.
I agree. Only a very few places in Southern Europe have less than 20% light (blue, green, mixed etc.) eyes, that is 1 on 5 people... In Italy only Sardinia and some pockets in the South maybe, but probably not even there.

[Ushtari]

Then give us one more accurate. And a reference. Don't draw it yourself. :thumb001:
You said that map showed % of light eye color distribution(blue, green, grey, mixed, etc.)

Coon recorded this among gheg Albanians:
http://i55.tinypic.com/2cibrsh.jpg

Also, i can hardly imagine southern sweden to have 50-79% light eye color. Its more.

[Peyrol]

I wrote my own vision about the exact percentages in Italy.

Dude you should know that Coon is not God and that he wrote a lot of bullshit. Berbers were lighter than a great part of southern europe according with him
You should check new sources and studies instead of some crap written 100 years ago

You dont need to be born in 2010 to see what eye color a person have.

;) and Coon went around the world in a globe in 80 days looking into the eyes of people around the world.

[Pallantides]

The north blue eye is way lighter and tend to seem to sky blue color.

Most Norwegians from my observation have dark to medium blue eyes, very light eye color are more common in Finns I think

[Blossom]

Yep could be. My dad got dark blue eyes too..while my grandies got them light enough. So could be.:)

Tbh, I didnt stare too much at people's eyes till I visited Finland haha. And yes, they do have lighter blue eyes, maybe that's why they're the only eyes I remember ahahah...weirdo me. In any case, its true danish and germans may have them a bit darker though.

According with Coon the % of light eyes in North Morocco is higher than in Galicia. The man was definetely a genius :D

[Heimmacht]

This is turning into an eye-colour thread again? Submerge!!!! :D

Even today there are people who believe just that, fortunately I have personally visited the North of Morocco and Galicia.

You know that we in Southern Europe have museums where are display models of light-colored eyes? We've never seen one in our whole life.

[Ibericus]

Come on, Coon was a nordicis racist that never set a foot in Spain or even Europe, he wrote from his office in the US trying to imagine how we look. Btw his last books in the 60's were banned by the American Anthropogical Association.

Coon DID went to Albania and studied the population for two years, and then wrote an entire book, dedicated just for Albanians.

The book is called "Mountains of Giants: A Racial and Cultural Study of the North Albanian Mountain Ghegs"

He didnt come to Spain and the chapter that he wrote about the Iberian Peninsula is completely ridiculous and innacurate

[aherne]

Mediterannean with Dinaric and CroMagnon influences. Very good looking guy...

[Sikeliot]

The name Gianluigi is clearly the same as in French, Jean-Louis.

Anyway Dinaro-Atlantid.

However, i've noticed that italian blue eyes are different from a germanic or slavic blue-eyes .

I can confirm that. Italians, even Southern ones, have far more people with blue eyes than Romanians. But at the same time, even Northern ones are darker in pigmentation than Romanians (ex. people like Buffon). This is a bit strange, since here eye color and pigmentation are in direct correlation (light eyed people are almost always lighter skinned, lighter haired).

Blue eyes are common in western Sicily and Apulia, but very rare in eastern Sicily or Calabria although my great grandmother had them.

Blue eyes are more common, interestingly, in Greece than in Calabria/eastern Sicily.

Sardinia is the region with less blue eyes and light hair compared to population.

[Sikeliot]

Sardinia is the region with less blue eyes and light hair compared to population.

Sardinians are genetic isolates, not Italians. They're only Italian politically.

[tEhSaint]

Atlanto-Med with Dinaro-CM influences.

[Kalimtari]

pretty typical N Italian (between Germanic (Lombard) and Italic proper)

[The Blade]

"Why does he have blue eyes?" - What a stupid question...
Dinaro-Med.

[Wrong]

Narrow Dinaric

[averagedude]

dinaricized nordo-med

[MysteriousWays]

Dinaricized Atlantid.

[MysteriousWays]

In any case, Southern Italians can have blue eyes. Doesn't impact my classification though.

[CommonSense]

Nordo-Med + Dinarid
