What is the most phenotypically diverse country in the world ?

[A333]

(not including brain drains and new migrations)

[Arūnas]

Russia

[Tooting Carmen]

US and Brazil of course.

[zebruh]

Brazil and costa rica

[Tooting Carmen]

Brazil and costa rica

:confused:

[A333]

Give a vote please.

[Zhulta]

For natural or indigenous populations probably India. YOu have Caucasoids, Australoids and Mongoloids in that country + numerous contact types between these. Then comes Russia i think.

Not sure about Africa, but i heard Africa as whole is genetically far more diverse than Eurasia.

Brazil is certainly TOP3

The country range from very white regions with immigrants from all corners of Europe to very mulato areas that received people from all corners of Africa and they are all brazilians, not foreigners that arrived recently:

Very mulato areas:

Or even black crowds in some neighbors of Salvador and Rio:

Brazil also has everything between both groups too and cities like Rio de Janeiro that has many whites, pardos of all types, blacks...

A city like Rio change a lot between South Zone neighbors to favela areas:

São Paulo is even more complex and diverse than Rio, but their divisions are less obvious to me.

[Asten]

Usa, France and Germany

My Country

[reboun]

USA

By the way, I guess Turkey is the most phenotypically diverse country in Europe and West Asia.

[Daven]

USA hands down.

[Tutankhamun]

I think the US, despite Brazil being diverse we are homogeneous to some extent, different from the United States.

[Anglo-Celtic]

The USA has been for years. Even extraterrestrials live here.

[alnortedelsur]

Very funny that Venezuela nd Colombia are not in that poll.

I forgot how black Brazil looked in that Michael Jackson video. It almost looks like Jamaica except for some of the shots of the afavelados.

ps. Don't forget the pseudo-phenotypes result of the mixing. Like people fitting in India, Pakistan, etc. A lot of mulattoes can look have those looks. You also have some triracials getting those phenotypes.

Very funny that Venezuela nd Colombia are not in that poll.

Venezuela's immigration came from a fairly limited range of countries, and Colombia's even more so. Even when taking into account all the types of racial mixes that admittedly do exist in both countries, I'm not sure they'd compete that well in this poll.

I happen to think that Panama is more diverse than both Colombia and Venezuela.

[Mixdguy17]

Without recent Immigrants? Brazil.

Recent Immigrants? USA

Quite possibly.

They have a much wider range of phenotypes than some countries in the poll, like Mexico and let alone Spain (if we only talk about ethnic Spaniards, excluding recent foreign immigration).

Mexicans can go from Amerindians/Indo-mestizos to whites/near whites and castizos, and both Colombia and Venezuela cover all that range plus their triracials, griffes, etc.

I find it very funny that countries like Mexico, Spain, China (I know they have many different ethnic groups, but they all are east Asians racially close to each other) are in that poll, while Colombia and Venezuela (with people racially very different from others, who can go from blacks to Euros and castizos and everything in between, including Ameridians, triracials, mestizos in diverse proportions, etc) are not in the poll.

[Tenma de Pegasus]

Very funny that Venezuela nd Colombia are not in that poll.

They really should... all Americas are diverse, some countries more than diverse than others. The only not diverse countries here are Haiti, Guatemala, Jamaica, Bolívia and even these ones have their fair share of diversity.

Indeed, pardos are diverse by their onw, they can range of 30-85% european, many pardos are 70-79% european persons other many are 50-59%, their average as whole is something like 63.5/67.5% european. Not to mention some pardos are more african, others more amerindian, others are trirracials. Pardo majority areas also have their big white minorities and their huge brazilian diversity:

brazil

[Demis]

For the old world, I would say India. I suppose the USA and other Anglo-sphere countries must be the most diverse places in general.

[Tsuin]

USA and Brazil are a tie. Though, The Americas is the most diverse continent on the planet. As for the old world, definitely China and India.

[nikolaipoland]

None on the list,
Panama, Philippines, Brazil, Morocco.

[Thambi]

Overall probably Brazil, US, Mexico as well. However, they're new world so not sure if they count.. If its old world, then definitely India.

[hangh]

Without recent Immigrants? Brazil.

Recent Immigrants? USA

That makes no sense. The USA was settled by a more complex variety of Europeans, had similar amounts of Native Blacks, and has had a larger and older Asian population. It received a lot more diverse European immigration as well. So no, either way it's the USA

[Jingle Bell]

US
Brazil its kinda homogenous, 85% of Population its just a mix of S. Euro + SSA + SE American, just varying the degree of the mix

[capocannoniere]

The most phenotypically diverse countries in the world are those where people speak to you as a native whatever your pheno is. So Brazil, USA and Argentina if you exclude blacks.

[axel.aleman]

US
Brazil its kinda homogenous, 85% of Population its just a mix of S. Euro + SSA + SE American, just varying the degree of the mix

Most Panamanian population are a mix of Iberian + WANA + Central Amerindian + SSA just varying degree of mix too
