    But there are still more Med-looking Brits than there are Med-looking Scandinavians and Dutch.

    To which I ask you, do you know of any significant Celtic/Gallic settlement in the Netherlands outside Belgium?

    Not as such, but even The Lawspeaker, who generally isn't interested in anthropology, says that South Dutch are on the whole darker and less Scandinavian-like than are Frisians.

    I disagree that the UK looks out of place for its location because its location is not simply North e.g. Sweden or Norway but NorthWest; Britain is to the West Germanics (I know there is a celtic fringe but bear with me) what Iceland is to the north Germanics. Since Britain epitomizes 'West Germanic' rather than 'North Germanic' the hair is going to be darker. For instance , the further West you away from Albino places such as Estonia and Finland.

    Welcome to to the wild and wooly world of West Germanics ! We have higher intelligence on average over here despite crackpot Nazi nordicist ideology. The West German Johannes Kepler no he is not British :

    If you read the start of this thread, Sikeliot was saying more-or-less the same thing: Britain's western location cancels out its northern latitude when it comes to blondism/fairness.

    Guyana

    It's in Latin America, but half of the population is South Asian, then it is probably one of the most multiracial country in the world

    South Slavs are geographically more northern than Iberians and South Italians, it's not a good comparison. Northern Macedonia is the same latitude as Catalonia and Lazio, while Serbia is the same latitude as Aquitaine.

    Bulgarians. Based on their classification threads they should look like Northern Europeans (Paleo-Atlantids, Faelids, Nordocromagnids etc) but pass better in Cyprus and Caucasus.

    The Czech looks surprisingly Eastern European given their location and shared history with Germany etc. I know that the eastern belt must start somewhere, but many people in there looked very distinctly Slavic and many of them also look very Balkanian.

    Yemenites looks weird for the Arabian peninsula.

    I find there is a noticeable divide between Greeks and South Slavs - the former definitely resemble South Italians and Iberians more than they do their neighbours.

    I also find Romanians on the whole to be quite dark (and no, I don't mean Gypsies either), despite being geographically not that far South.
