    I don't actually think they look much alike at all. A lot of the key phenotypical types in Italy (Alpine, Dinaric) are near absent from Spain.

    At this moment I am going to buy you a plane ticket to visit Spain and you stop to say nonsensical things.
    Alpine=Berid, Dinaric=Baskid... there are millions of Spaniards so.

    Baskid looks more like Keltic-Nordid, not Dinarid.
    Berid is more similar to Paleoatlantid.

    Which "SW Euro types"? And I don't believe light Spanish generally look like English people either.

    If "SW Euro" types are what I think, it is a distinct Iberian look that is not present in Italy except rarely here and there. I'd hardly call it a "common" Italian look. If anything the fact that there are similarities between AtlantoMed and Pontid make me think you'd find more people who look actually Iberian in Greece.

    Some light Spaniards do, but not all though. By SW Euro types I mean Atlantids and Atlanto-Meds which, while more common in Spain, can be found with some frequency in Italy (esp. the North) too.

    Atlanto-Med and Atlantid exist in northern Italy but dissipate south of Rome. Thus it's not widespread enough if you're taking Italy as a whole.

    Well really "Atlantid" doesn't mean anything, it's just some made up term used on forums like this, it doesn't exist in reality. British people look much closer to Germans, Dutch, etc than to "Atlantic" Spaniards.

    I agree. Germans and Brits plot TOGETHER almost...
