Do they fit anywhere else other than Ireland and parts of Britain?

[Hrvoje Vukčić Hrvatinić]

Germany, Norway, and Benelux + north of France.

[Dna8]

Some of them can pass only in British Isles (some in NW Europe too), some of them can also pass in Eastwards Continental Europe (tending North & East)

[Kamal900]

I guess mostly in western Europe as a whole or something.

[Rouxinol]

They pass across Western Europe.

[Mopi Licinius Crassus]

most of my mothers's family have this colour combo

my maternal grandfather was pure irish by blood....black hair, blue eyes, fair skin...common enough amongst the irish

[Grace O'Malley]

When people say Western Europe can they be more specific?

People and even organizations (CIA, UN) have different definitions. Mine is:
Belgium
France
Ireland
Luxembourg
Monaco
Netherlands
United Kingdom
Andorra
Portugal
Spain
Similar to CIA's.

As a whole I feel like darker Irish folks don't fit that well as south European. I can't get too specific about the country because I'm really not sure but I would put this group in western Europe for sure. I can see the men in the second and also last photo passing in SW Europe. I will say I think of boxer Katie Tylor as an Irish person that passes in East Europe, but not south. I find her look fascinating.

[Deneb]

In a lot of countries, but outside of the British Isles their best place is France.

My opinion is that they fit more or less in the Atlantid spectrum of phenotypes that does exist in those countries. They wouldn’t be taken as foreigners for the most part or as exotic types.

I can tell you Maria Doyle Kennedy passes here - even if not typical - because she looks like an older version of my missus. They are oddly similar

He loved too much alcohol...

He could have become one of the 3 greatest players ever if he wanted to.... Ciao George..

In my list he is in the first 10 best football players ever..

The fact is that these Irish people despite the dark hair, they are just as pale or even paler - complexioned than any Northern European people. It is weird, how this combination is easily found in the western parts of Britain and throughout Ireland. Although, much less common in continental Europe. The area of the continent, where this people would most likely fit in is North - West Europe and Northern Europe where fair to pale complexion and light eyes are predominant:
Zone A

Iceland
Norway (South-West, West)
Sweden (West)
Denmark
Germany (North, North-West)
Netherlands
Belgium
France (North-West, North)

Zone B

Finland
Estonia
Latvia
Lithuania
Poland (North)
Russia (North - West)
Byelorussia
Ukraine (North only)

I do not at all believe in the "Atlantic Facade" garbage theory.

your division is garbage as well, you made up a geographical division without any data. North Atlantid is common in Britain and parts of NW Europe, otherwise its dillutted- end of story.
we can take Sweden as an example: i rather think you ll find them Stockholm (Sweden-East) than any other Swedish city, because of the diversity etc. Other smaller places (cities/villages) will look more univocal Nordic/Borreby/Baltid.
http://humanphenotypes.net/NorthAtlantid.html


there is a possible overlapp with North Pontid, but there is no evidence that North Pontid is more common in North Poland than Central Poland etc.

Corrections. Firstly, a study has shown that ethnic Swedes of northern parts (with non - Saami admixtures of course) have a higher rate of dark hair than Southern Swedes (e.g. Stockholm) at 45% dark brown, but their ratio of light eyes is just as high or higher.
Secondly the North Pontid is not as light - eyed as the North Atlantid. Due to the fact that brown eyes are almost as common as blue eyes in the North Pontid. On the other hand, the North Atlantid is predominantly blue or light - eyed.
Thirdly the North Atlantid race is centered in the British Isles and progressively becomes "weaker" as one moves away from there. Due to the fact that light eyes (blue/gray/green) are more common in Northern Poland than Central/Southern Poland for example. The frequency of a "North Atlantid-looking" Polish person would be greater in the North. It is for that reason, I chose Northern Poland.

[Zeno]

Pass in northwestern Europe mostly. Some can into southern Europe.

[Septentrion]

Southern Europe has comparatively to Northern Europe where the North Atlantid race is centered, has a very low frequency for light eyes. Therefore, I don't see how North Atlantids can be numerous there, not possible. Only in individual cases.

I'm watching The Irish Mob on Netflix. Just finished an episode about Jimmy "The Gent" Burke (Al Pacino played him in Goodfellas) and Danny Green (Kill The Irishman). I'm on an Irish Gangster binge at the moment thanks to that other thread. They had interviews with Henry Hill. VG program.

Very cool. I've always had a fascination with organized crime because I grew up in the most boring, uneventful suburb were that kinda stuff never happened. There are a lot of good books on the subject as well. Regarding where Irish would pass, I had rattled off some historic Irish-American neighborhoods but here is a more updated list:

https://www.irishcentral.com/roots/genealogy/most-irish-cities-usa

Here’s a list of the most Irish city areas:
1. Boston, MA - 20.4%
2. Middlesex County, MA - 16.9%
3. Peabody, MA - 15.8%
4. Albany, NY - 15.6%
5. Syracuse, NY - 15.0%
6. Worcester, MA - 14.8%
7. Camden, NJ - 14.8%
8. Philadelphia, PA - 14.2%
9. Long Island, NY - 13.1%
10. Wilmington, DE-MD-NJ - 13.0%

As a whole, they pass with difficulty in Southern Europe. Reason : Features and pigmentation (even if they are darker haired).

No, she doesn't look Southern European at all! She looks more Icelandic or West Norwegian than anything. Anthropologically, she would fit within the Strandid phenotype of Northern Europe.

[Septentrion]

You have forgotten her. She's from Western Ireland, her very pale skin, black hair and her deep piercing blue eyes will make her stand out anywhere. She looks like the "Irish stereotype". Although the vast majority of Irish people are not even black - haired.

Darker Irish folks do not fit in Southern Europe. I don't even know why people spend time linking them to Southern Euros. Once in a while, one might but it's far from being common. They are on average too pale and too light - eyed, to be even Central Euros, let alone Southern Euros.

[Luso]

These people are distinctively NW euro. They do not fit as avg in southern Europe, but could individually as a rarer type.

[Hic et nunc]

Most of them would be at home in France. The contrast between pale skin, dark hair and light eyes of some is amazing.

Maybe it depends on the picture. He is an Irish actor Kevin Ryan. No reason why some Irish can't look French either as I think there are some genetics in common.



You find this kind of phenotypes in Britanny, Atlantic façade or Northern France. And yes, it's not surprising given genetical ties. (especially in Britanny I've seen Britton outliers scoring like Irish.... If I recall)

The Appalchian people seem very different to the staunch, no surrender, 1690 folk. ;)

Different environments. When they went to the US they wanted to get rid of the British but in Northern Ireland they wanted to keep British at all costs. :p

They resemble actors of American TV series, in my opinion.

#3, #4 and #5 have a more neutral look (and look Med influenced) and i can see they passing everywhere.
The others look more distinctly NW Euro in terms of features.

2nd woman probably dyed her hair to black
Others except for 4th you can see some brownish undertones, they may be natural.

Yes some of the women have darkened their hair. Kerry Condon (2nd picture) for example has brown hair.

Katie McGrath's is more a dark brown than black. I think the black gives a striking look.

It makes sense, I am not expert about hair colors at all but since I do have black hair I think I can spot when they dont look natural to me. I am the only one of my family with so dark hair color, most are between brown or light brown. Some cousins of mine dyed their hair from brown to black, also look unnatural to me.

That combination dark hair+light eyes look handsome to me while I believe the opposite (light hair + dark eyes) may look weird or unnatural. I also have reddish beard and I think it doesnt match with me (dark hair+dark eyes)

Yes, it is most common in Brittany, because Britons did settle the coastal areas at one point. It makes sense.

Germany, Norway, and Benelux + north of France.

I agree

Sean Connery too? Might just have dark dark brown hair though. RIP. Loved this actor:

Still looks distinctly NW euro to me in features. And I tend to notice this very quickly growing up around many Isles heritage people. But he could also be mistaken for half Irish half Italian in New York. But I do have to say, I could imagine him sitting in a cafe in Galicia near Portugal's border or something :D
