Are Circassians much lighter than Georgians or bit lighter than Georgians?

so west georgians abdushelashvili stats are more lighter than abkhazians or circassians

[Melkiirs]

mingrelians from martvili have more light hair in caucasus 2.85 most darkers ( kakhetians 4.10)

Are those percentages or weighted averages from 0-4?

Soviet Anthropologists represented hair color for samples with a weighted average from 0 (pure light blond) to 4 (pure black and dark brown):



If they are percentages does this include all hair except Fischer #27, #4-5? Was only jet black and dark brown considered dark?

Average hair color score. To make it clearer, I have highlighted the vertical column of the average hair color score. Explanation: THE LOWER THE AVERAGE SCORE, THE MORE FAIR HAIRED THE GROUP IN CONSIDERATION.

The numbers that I wrote there (I wrote them specifically for those who do not read Russian).
1- Abkhaz groups. As we see the Abkhazians living in the east of Abkhazia, the lands that used to belong to the Mingrelians and where there are now a bunch of assimilated Mingrelians, those regions are redder.
2 - Circassian groups
3 - Karachay-Balkars
4 - Ossetian groups
5 - Vainakh groups (Ingush, Chechens, Kists, Batsbis).



Map of the average hair color score in different regions of Georgia, taken from the research of TWO ANTHROPOLOGISTS - Abdushelishvili and Javakhishvili. It has been specially transferred to the map for convenience.


As you can see, Circassians are generally not lighter than Georgians. The lowest average scores are among Georgians, and to be more precise, among Georgians from the WEST PLAIN - Colchis Lowland, especially among MINGRELS, for example, such numbers as - 2.85, 3.01.
Of the Circassian or in general of the Circassian, Ossetian, Vainakh and Karachay-Balkar groups, only the Khazbez Circassians have an average score of 3.07.
I don’t know where this nonsense comes from about the light pigmentation of some groups, when people haven’t even seen anthropological studies or even a thousand purebred representatives of the nations that they compare.

Beard color (Pantyukhov). Here is a screenshot from his work.

Mingrelians:
24% light brown
48% dark blond
12% black
16% redheads

Imeretians:
21% light brown
60% dark blond
8% black
11% redheads

Gurians:
27% light brown
36% dark brown
17% black
20% redheads

Karachay-Balkars:
4% light brown
51% dark blond
37% black
8% redheads

Kabardians:
3% light brown
30% dark blond
57% black
10% redheads

The highest percentage of light brown and red hair is among Mingrelians and Gurians.
The smallest % of blacks is among the Imeretians and Mingrelians.

I think the correct way to define the lightness difference would be medium. Not a bit or a lot lighter.

Circassians living more north , neighbor Southern russians or Ukrainians and look like them . Georgians living much southern and look like more armenians . So Circassians are much lighter imho

Circassians




Georgians
