Quite dark, they could easily pass in Turkey, Atlanto alpines.

Both are Alpine-Meds with a bit of CM influence, interesting phenos for Bretons :icon_ask:

You are like the English version of Gallop? Who's doesn't like "darker" folks of England?

Right guy has more European features imo.

There are lots of dark people in Brittany. Also most Bretons I knew had a very Iberian look. It's odd because I've read that gentically, Bretons were very close to British and Irish, who have a very different look.

There are also very light Bretons though (like the girl of my "French mixed couple" thread). Actually it seems that it depends a lot of the place in Brittany. I once met a redhead "Celtic" looking Breton girl and said her that Bretons usually looked Iberian to me. She laughed and said I was crazy, then showed me her friends and family, all very light Northwestern looking folks.

Some villages/provinces are lighter, looks in northern France are quite localised and can often change dramatically over 100 km. On the whole Britanny while genetically close to the UK clearly has more of the Med-Alpine looks re emerging.

She looks quite Spanish and as such could definitely pass in Brittany. But it's hard to tell from one single old photography.

Do you really think that statement makes sense?

He is right, northern France, especially Picardy, has very diverse phenotypes that can change from a village to another.

[axel.aleman]

Atlanto Med

[Gallop]

Atlanto med could go unnoticed in Spain and England.

That is only possible in scenarios of recent migration or centuries of isolation and inbreeding.

[Pater Patota]

Nope, they’re atypical for Turkey.These 2 men fit France and Iberia well.
