    Default Are Brits and Irish the darkest people in Central/Northern Europe?

    In my opinion they are the darkest due to heavy neolithic ancestry. Specially when It comes to hair and eye color they are darker than scandinavians, continental germanics and (non-balkan) slavs.

    The only question would be if Hungarians are darker or lighter, but I've come across more naturally blonde and blue eyed hungarians than brits, whose women are almost unifomly bleached blondes, and most chavs I've met have pitch black hair. Brown eyes are quite common among them too.




    Guy in the far right is typical british med type.

    Darker in hair colour, yes. Darker in eyes compared to Scandinavians but not really Germans, Dutch or Slavic groups.

    I think actually they are the darkest people in the whole of Europe, and even parts of the near east.

    I mean seriously.. the strong med strains in the British Isles are usually underrated. Most of those are obviously from neolithic origin, not recent mediterranean admixture.

    Scandinavians, Continental GErmanics and (non-balkan) Slavs are all more Nordic/Baltic influenced than Brits.

    And don't forget they are darker than all those blonde Berbers in Algeria and Morocco too.

    Brits are clearly more brunette than your typical Continental germanic types. Also slavs are overall blonder than Britons, Both czech and poles clearly look more like stereotypical "fair featured europeans ". Britain has ton of atlantids and dark featured peoples from neolithic origin.

    Only Scandinavians are (almost) uniformly fair - there are more than a few Germans and even Dutch people who look Italian, and there are lots of Pontids in Poland, Czech Republic etc.

    I'm talking about averages here. Average brits and Irish people are darker than other Central/Northern Europeans. The only question would be if Hungarians are darker or not.
