Do Greeks look similar to Turks?

[Sikeliot]

Greek Islanders Look close to Western Turks.

Western Turkey is the part of the country with the most visible Central Asian input.. so no. Greek islanders look closer to southern Italians and Ashkenazim.

I would agree Greeks look simaler to Sicilians imo. I thought western turkey was less Central Asian

No to both. Mainland Greeks look distinct from Sicilians, and western Turkey is the most Central Asian part.

I've been past Greece 3 times driving to Turkey in car, we would always stop at Greece to chill for a day before going to Istanbul. When comparing the bordering regions on what people look like, they looked very similar, although Greeks were taller. It would be question of nitpicking features to see differences tbh

[itilvolga]

only very few, most look med or mideastern they are closer to iranians then to central asians

Nope, we're closer to Turkmens then Iranians

[itilvolga]

Greek Islanders Look close to Western Turks. However we have to remember that many Turkish people are turkified greeks. mainland greeks have much less turkic influenc

Agree, i see some people from Chios in Çeşme (Izmir) and i always think they are Turks until they start talking

Turks are short, stocky people. They're a mix of Turkmenistanis, Azerbaijanis, islamized Khazars, Iranians, Islamized Anatolians and Islamized Balkaners

we're not mix of Turkmens, Azerbaijanis etc that's true that we are all of Oghuz Turks but from different tribes

Turks are for the most part Armenoids and Greeks are Mediterranids/Alpine/Dinarics.

ANATOLID (Anadolid)


Anatolid Turk

Mostly Armenoid blend with Mediterranid (mainly the old Cappadocid strain) which constitutes the prevalent racial type among the Turks (of Turkey). Anatolids are usually finer-featured, more leptomorphic and somewhat longer-headed than Armenids proper.

So there is not much resemblance. The only resemblance is with some western Turks who are of Greek origin.

Greeks and Turks do not share history, neither gypsies with Serbs. You try to connect unrelated people to each other due to German and Austrian propaganda against the Greek people. Light/dark parallels of German and Austrian racists are ridiculous. What's next, you will compare South Europeans to Asians because some Chinese look white skinned/dark haired?

There was a docu on German TV and there was a Greek explaining the difference between Greeks and Turks and he said "the mustaches are different", he was quiete brown. something like this guy and looked what is in austria/germany associatied with a "turkish look" he said "they have different mustaches" lol

No Greek looks like that.

Greeks have Greek craniofacial features.

A comparative cephalometric investigation of the Greek craniofacial pattern through 4,000 years.

"A comparative cephalometric investigation was conducted between modern and ancient Greeks to determine craniofacial characteristics and to examine the significance of ethnic heritage. The modern sample was composed of 54 individuals chosen on the basis of ethnic background, normal occlusion and facial harmony. The ancient sample consisted of 40 skulls with normal occlusion dated back to the Minoan civilization (ca. 1,800-1,200 B.C.). A remarkable similarity in craniofacial morphology was revealed between the two groups, suggesting a close genetic affinity between modern and ancient Greeks. The ability of the craniofacial complex to make compensatory or balancing changes was noted. The craniofacial complex was seen to function as an integrated biological entity. Moreover, the cranial base showed a definite influence on skeletal profile configuration. These results provide a more comprehensive understanding of how craniofacial variables interact and contribute to the morphology of the dentofacial skeleton."

"An overall view of the findings obtained from these cephalometric analyses indicates that the Greek ethnic group has remained genetically stable in its cephalic and facial morphology for the last 4,000 years."

"The Greeks at a rate of 99.5% are Caucasians (white). The contribution to the genetic makeup of the Greeks from other groups (blacks or Mongolians) is of a minimal percentage (less than 0.5%)."

those subraces are pretty much similar to the layman even if turks are anatolid and greeks are east-med/alpine/dinaric that produces a very similar look. and i never connected serbs with roma people or said they are of same origin. to the layman greeks and turks are very similar thats why there is always a greek victim when people attack turks too.
