She could be either Assyrian, or Levantine.

[Sikeliot]

Arabian to me.

What makes you say so? I don' think she looks Levantine

[riverman]

arabian

[Smeagol]

Though when I say Levantine, I mean Muslim Levantine. I think she shows a mix of Semitic, and Mediterranean features. Not pure Arabian..

I see, so what nations would you put her in?

[Smeagol]

Modern Levant, but not as a Christian Levantine.

[StonyArabia]

Modern Levant, but not as a Christian Levantine.

I see she is not from the Levant though. Do you think she can pass a Yemenite Jew?

[Sikeliot]

To me she is clearly Arabid and not Levantine.

Yes, they have no Sub-Saharan influence, regular Yemenis have about 20%.

[StonyArabia]

Well this depends on which Yemenite, but yes the ones from the coast are mixed, but not the ones in the Desert or the Yemenite highlands. However do you think she looks more like a Yemenite Jew or Assyrian?

Yemenite Jew.

She looks Arabian like a Yemeni highlander or Yemenite Jew.

[riverman]

'arabian' is just a description for me, she doesn't look 'non-levantine' imo.

[Gaston]

Only one picture? and not the best picture to be honest.

She's a female so I don't think there is a lot of differences between Arabians, Assyrians and Levantines. The overlap is substantial.

[Transhumanist]

[Image omitted.]

Arabian.

[Swearengen]

levantine

agreed.

Modern Levantine muslims=Arabian Bedouins.

[Swearengen]

she looks more christian levantine than muslim.

Some Arabians can pass for Assyrian. Same for Levantines. But I would not call the overlap "substantial." It is significant, however. There are non-negligible differences in DNA, and this does indeed come through in phenotype, in my opinion.

Recent photos that I posted of Assyrian women (some with light eyes) in Sikeliot's thread on Assyrian phenotypes (http://www.theapricity.com/forum/showthread.php?37882-Assyrians-Where-can-they-pass-physically-in-Europe-%28Multiple-choice%29).

[Smeagol]

she looks more christian levantine than muslim.

No, she's an Arabid/East Med mix, typical of the muslims.

[Swearengen]

His point was that near and middle eastern women tend to look more similar, whereas the difference is much more pronounced in men who have more developed features.

[YeshAtid]

Modern Levantine muslims=Arabian Bedouins.

Some are natives though, randomguy for example

[Swearengen]

She looks just like a good looking christian leb girl I know. Her hair is straight and her skin is probably lighter than your average leb's. Her features are balanced and doesn't show anything obviously arabian.

[Smeagol]

True.

[YeshAtid]

True.

Do you think he could pass as Jewish, perchance?

[Smeagol]

Yeah.

Well I do think she looks like a typical Lebanese Muslim.

[YeshAtid]

She doesn't look Levantine at all

Isn't this Sophia Jawad, that same actress you're obsessed with?! Anyway, she's looks Arabian; Arabid/Alpine phenotype.

[StonyArabia]

She is a Shammari Arab from Iraq. She belongs to the Toga clan who live near Saudi Arabia.

I knew it!:tongue

She is not Christian nor looks like a Christian leb, she is 12er Shia which most Toga clan belong to. Unlike their Northern brothers who are Sunni Muslims but from the same Shammar tribe. I only did this thread to see if people will say she looks Levantine/Arabian/Assyrian it seems most people correctly guessed her origins.

what exactly is non-levantine about her.

she's very beautiful so she isn't typical or common for anywhere anyway.

People guessed her origins because it's you. Just like everybody expects Sikeliot to post Sicilians.

And yes, Swearengen understood my point, which is women tend to have juvenile faces so the differences aren't that big between these populations. In the case of this woman, there is no way to say she doesn't look like this or that, she can be anything.

[StonyArabia]

Her skin color and her gracil frame is more common in Arabians than Levantines.

I agree she is quite a beauty.
