Yes she is fully Irish. She been classified as Paleo-Atlantid. Here's some pictures of her when she was younger. Looks a bit of a darker Brunn.

Some of her features, including pigmentation, are similar to Irish-American actress Bridget Moynahan. Bridget's features are obviously much more harmonious....

The interesting thing with that is if someone like Mary Lou McDonald had a dna test she would be like Colin Farrell who before last update on 23&Me got 98.7 British & Irish and would now be 100% British & Irish so they would cluster with all the other Irish. So their genetics are the same as their countrymen and women. Old worldly anthropology is not an indicator of someone's genetics but just knowing someone is long term Irish I could make a very good educated guess of what their genetics would be like.

I don't think there would be any isolated types. The only population that are distinct in Ireland are the Travellers and that's not because they have different admixture pre Elizabethan times. It is due to about 400 years of drift and consanguinity. You cannot look at someone and be able to tell what historical populations would have contributed to their genetics. After even 1,000 years it would be difficult to preserve or isolate an older genepool. By that I mean that any Irish person would have much the same ancestors. Also if you remember that during the Bronze Age pretty much all of Ireland's neolithic farmers were replaced with Bronze Age invaders you can see why some statements that people make on here are just not accurate. How many times do people claim when looking at someone that they are descended from UP survivors? :rolleyes: Do people really believe that?

You don't know what you are talking about she looks Irish and there are regional differences between the physical anthropolgical types. Paleo-Atlantids have always been a small minority of Ireland. Also, if she had a genetic test it could come out Scottish or somewhat Scottish.

Genetics can be manipulated for political reasons since people generally can't verify it in a specialized lab . It is harder to manipulate old world anthropology for political ends because it requires less specialized experience and no you don't have the specialized experience you just have some second hand knowledge that you delusionally makes you think you are an expert.

Many times what people consider as "Brunn" is pretty much descendant from the more robuster Beaker types like the mentioned Wayne Rooney in the other thread- Ciarán Kilkenny would be a great example of it, also types like Richard Dunne or Stephen Kenny- and many others of course, but this types would be typically described as Kelto Brunn.

Grace O'Malley

But why not? They were there and their ancestry lives on.

Because populations will be very mixed after a millennium. The only way they would retain some unique traits is in the aristocracy because they married people of similar background so more in-bred. In the Sicilian population for example the Normans were very small in number. Hardly enough to cause some long-term trait to descend down to people today. This would only happen if a significant amount of people came and bred with the older population. This obviously hasn't happened with Sicilians because they still cluster south of most Italians. Normans would have been completely absorbed and not enough of them came to cause a long lasting affect in the population.

The only way a smaller group would have to increase their percentage of the genepool is by having many wives, concubines and more children and then their children have a survival advantage. This can happen with some groups where there are warlords etc who end up having more progeny.

It's not broad at all or wide. Loads of Europeans have much broader noses. What is unusual is her skin colouring especially if she is not tanned.

By pointing that out I'm not saying she has any non-Isles ancestry just that she is darker than the vast majority not that she has any unusual ancestry.

Yes, but not with a broad nasal bone. This is mostly a Negroid/Australoid trait:

Yea a lot of Paleo/Mesolithic Europoids weren't purely Caucasoid. Either "yet" because they didn't evolve enough, or "not anymore" because they had Mongoloid admixture. This Mesolithic Czech skull you posted seems to also have slight prognathism and flattened nasal bridge btw, so it's not only a wide nose that makes her non-white.

Yeah I get it, but I remember reading that light features in Sicily are most common where the settlement of Normans was, I could be wrong on that or it was something that Sikeliot promoted, lol. Certain recessive features can resurface themselves after many generations. Sometimes you can look like a spitting image of your distant ancestor too and don't forget that story about Afrikaner woman born to white parents which had clear black features despite genetically being like her parents (which carried minor SSA admixture).

lol, positive strong chin is correlated with prognathism retardo, you can literally check every pure dinarid type that has that. Probably he was so high on marijuana that he meant retrognathism(<- this is a characteristic of meds).

Berid i think is more Med shifted, need Immanenz to come and give an opinion as i am not as sure tbh.

Berberid and Berid are unrelated, genetically and physically. Berid corresponds to "Paleo-Sardinian", a coarse mediterranean with traits like a wider, lower nose and prognathism. Also has strong cheekbones, large jaw, wide face, low forehead. Many berids can look cromagnon-influenced but they are not the same physically as Berberids. Berids are common in Spain, Sardinia and Italy.

Berberids have very strong and prominent jawlines, brow ridges, mandibles. Large heads and squinted eyes. Also have wide noses like berids. Tall and broad foreheads aswell. Zidane is a perfect Berberid example.

I used to confuse both types aswell since they're exotic med cromagnons, I totally understand the confusion. Even most people here don't even know exactly what a Berid is.

She looks quite berid - heavily alpinized brunn to me, definitely not a true paleo atlantid. I think she could pass in SW Europe much better, wouldn't have a trouble passing there.Closer to korid(kris jenner)-berid types, not brunn-paleo atlantid. Because of her eyes mainly(true unreduced CM types have neutral tilted eyes, like Calvin Harris). But to be fair the subnasion-menton distance fits the phenotype stereotype.

many times Berberids are indeed between local Atlanto Med + Afalao, which is basically how the more robuster Meds look like there. Paleo Sardinianare more Small Meds with arhaic features and Berids usually more mose/endo compared to the Sardinians which makes them look a bit more robuster and Alpine-ish at the same time, but thats what i observed.

From what I know Berid, Paleo-Sardinian and Coarse Mediterranid are not different at all. It is just the fact that in Iberia and Italy the type is often mixed with others or subject to alpinization, which gives this idea that a berid is "just an alpine-med" that many promote on this site. There is no real reason to believe an archaic-looking, coarse (therefore not neotenic), somewhat robust and dolichocephalic mediterranean is in its definite origin alpinoid.

"Lou" sounds like a (south)east-asian surname.
