Lebanon does not get as hot as other countries in the MENA region, and it is the only country in the area that does not have deserts. It has a milder climate in the summer months in comparison.

They clearly look like an Arab-speaking bunch. I would have never guessed them as Kurds, Iranians, Turks, etc
The idea of Asia as a homogenous region is poorly developed due to its vast and fractured geography. Different regions have historically developed independently of each other, resulting in a lack of...
The only place in the MENA region where light eyes are visible is in certain parts of Turkey. I have traveled the region, and it is clear to me that Turks tend to have a higher perception of lighter...
I read that light eyes occur in 8-9% of Iranian populations and 10–12% of the Levant's populations. But I don't know how accurate the source was.
Nice thread.
Curly and wavy hair is prevalent in the Middle East, but the number of Lebanese who have such hair is higher than Iran.
Without a doubt, the Assyrians had a tremendous impact on Iran during the period before the arrival of Islam, and there was undoubtedly some degree of blending between the two. But even now, some...
I don't know if they practiced more selective breeding, but the Lebanese ethnic groups are pretty endogamous, with the Druze being a good example. Religious minorities in the Middle East and North...
From my experience, on average, Lebanese people tend to be lighter and somewhat shorter than Iranians and tend to have a higher percentage of curly hair.
Yes, Iran is a vast country and the...
Are you implying there was a conversion of either Assyrians or Iranians into each group?
Although Levantines do have lighter skin than Iranians, I believe this distinction is exaggerated. Collectively, all four groups have a strikingly Middle Eastern appearance and would be noticeable in...
From my experience, compared to their Syrian counterparts, Lebanese people are less diversified and show less range of variety, with many groups in the country being highly inbred and homogenous....
Is that based on the recent studies that you have, and if so, please do share? I know that Assyrians are Northern Mesopotamians and Semitic and have genetic similarities to Iraqi Jews.
Fahd Youssef is Assyrian and not Kurdish.
Out of curiosity Why would Assyrians have a robust Iranid look?
They pass best in West Asia.
How reliable are these studies?
I have seen many short Punjabis too, but yes I have seen taller types especially among the Sikhs many are rather tall.
I have seen a few Hazaras in Iran with blue eyes, but light eyes among them are very rare.
No one does but Renisenb.
We are. User renisenb responses are unusual.
LOL
The fact that you made this statement is cringeworthy and embarrassing. This is weird.
The topic of Ugly vs Pretty, Light vs. Dark, or Superior vs. Inferior is not being discussed by...
NO, he is NOT.
I am an Iranian and I know much better than you do. Be humble and accept it. I have no ulterior motive.
I am not sure what I said that induced such a response from you that was replete with a strong sense of insecurities, vacillation, and rancorous; furthermore, that invoked you to attack me.

It's difficult to classify his age as he appears quite old. When he was young, he probably resembled a typical Iranian. However, the only distinguishing feature he has are his blue eyes, which don't...
