Classify Irishman

[Æmeric]

Someone sent me pics of this guy because he looks like he could be from the Appalachian region of the US, an area that is probably more Celtic (by blood) then other regions of the country. I think he looks like the sort of person, who if he was American, whom some classifiers would detect Silvid admixture in. But he is from Ireland.

Interesting analysis. Reeves is 1/2 Chinese, this guy is 100% Irish afaik.

In the two top images he does seem to have an inner eyefold, though it is hard to precisely see it with the size of the pics. An inner eyefold however does occur also random in individuals of West-European origin on a very small scale.

Beside the eyeshape, for the rest IMHO he looks Cromagnid with Atlanto-Med/Atlantid admixture.

[Loyalist]

Cromagnid with heavy Atlanto-Med influence. I would easily mistake him for someone of partially Amerindian or Asiatic ancestry. Ironically, O'Dea has more in common with former teammate Shunsuke Nakamura than with the other Irish and Scots who play for Celtic:

Says he's from Dublin but I'd place him more towards the Cork area.

Can you elaborate on that?:)

No.

No.

Thought not, par for the course, I believe ;)

Fuck off.

Please, take it to the shoutbox. :)

[Treffie]

Fine by me ;)

[Psychonaut]

Fuck off.

This is entirely out of line for the Anthropology forum. If you're not prepared to defend a statement, don't make it—plain and simple. Profanity, vulgarity, name calling, etc. will not be tolerated on this sub-forum while I'm moderating it. Keep that crap in the ChatBox or in PMs/rep comments.

[Brynhild]

Actually, I will go further to say that we've seen plenty of such guttersnipe talk in the shoutbox as well. There is no need for any of it at all.

As for the bloke who is classified, I've seen those features in plenty of Irish people. I wouldn't call his look Asian at all.

[Bridie]

I've never seen an Irishman with such eyes..... looks "iffy" to me.

[Allenson]

Clearly part Cherokee. He might even be on the tribal rolls. ;)

OK seriously--many of the physical anthropologists of yore noted a physical type present in Europe during the Paleolithic that was quite similar to what we now find in the circumpolar world. Perhaps he is reminiscent of this ancient type that may have once walked Europe.

Actually I believe Reeves is half English, half Chinese/Hawaiin.

A strange, ridiculous comment. But I suppose it need not be elaborated on, for that very reason if nothing else.

[Allenson]

And also, let's not forget that during much of the Mesolithic, before the inundation of Doggerland, skipping along the coast in a curragh from the great fresh water lake that is now the Baltic, up and over the portage near the modern Danish islands and along the coast of Doggerland to modern Britain/Ireland, wouldn't be anywhere near out of the question....

[SuuT]

Looks PaleoAtlantid. Exemplar, in fact.

[Murphy]

My classification is that he's a great defender ;), but I may be biased :D!

[Kadu]

Somekind of Protomorphic robust Eurasian but he's not even near Gordon Banks's chinkyness.
I have similar epicant folds, maybe not so pronounced.

I expect that Arawn will ask you to elaborate on that.

A derogatory term for Irish men and women was 'Pig eyed Micks', that was due to a number of Irish people with eyes such as this, it is common in areas of Ireland, this mans small eyes are exaggerated.

[Beorn]

I wonder if he has a Mongolian spot?

[Psychonaut]

I expect that Arawn will ask you to elaborate on that.

Fine. Let's make this the third time in two days the same point needs to be made. Personal snipes do not belong in the Anthropology forum. If you want to question his classification, do so. Don't make passive aggressive remarkes directed towards another poster.

[Goidelic]

I'd classify him as an infantilised Alpinised Bruenn with Paleo-Atlantid admixture. ;)

Thomas D'Arcy McGee remains a mystery apparently he's all Gaelic Irish, but looks part New World Native American

Gillian Norris is all Gaelic Irish afaik, and remains even more a mystery, could have some ancient/17th century Negro/Moor ancestor.

On the other hand this Appalachian man wouldn't look out of place as a more Bruenn-Borreby looking Highlander Scot/Irishman of old Gaelic & Norse ancestry.
