Do British and French people really look that alike?

[Jackson]

The vast majority of British are dark haired as adults also.

But not as large a majority overall, same situation with eye colour but probably more pronounced.

The French look more woggish.

Well I've been to France, and Britain, and the pigmentation of the natives didn't seem to differ much. I'm sure French people are a bit darker on average, but it's very much exaggerated on this forum.

they look quite different. British people slightly lighter with smaller facial features.

You can notice a difference when you're very familiar with a population. To me the French often look quite different to us, and I agree, it has been quite noticeable seeing people interviewed on the news lately.

Bretons can be particularly dark sometimes tbh.

Hmm My grandmother had dark brown hair and brown eyes and her French ancestry came partially from Brittany. Her mother's surname was St. Denis. A surname from there I believe.

But not all French are 'dark' I would say. Just like not all Germans look Nordic. I have seen some dark Irish and British types just from watching movies or seeing pictures here.

I wasn't expecting, honestly. He's appears clearly darker than I am.
