I originally put this thread in the Anthropology section at http://www.theapricity.com/forum/showthread.php?t=29485 . But I decided that it might be more useful in the Taxonomy section..

Guess the ethnicities of these individuals/groups. All groups except for the last picture include all individuals of the same ethnicity. In the last picture there are two ethnicities. The only other hint that I'm giving is that ethnicities may be repeated.

I'm going to reveal the answers: All of these individuals except for the girls in the last picture are not only Sicilian but they are from my town or adjacent towns (Alcara Li Fusi) in the Nebrodi Mountains of Northeastern Sicily. The girls in the last picture are Germans..
# 4 has an extremely atypical look, which most people attributed to Scandinavian, but I think overall he is just a very depigmented version of the Mediterranean types found in Sicily..
In other pictures it's apparent that he has what I call "Sicilian" hair, a course heavily curled/frizzy type hair that some Sicilians have. His pigmentation also contrasts those of his friends :lol:
The individuals in #5 are certainly not average for Sicilians but I have seen enough of them to know that it is not hard to find them. They are a significant minority. It is interesting to see that they were not perceived as "European."
