How similar are (phenotypically) the populations of Britain and Spain?

[Ruggery]

He looks more German proper than English. Blond-blue eyed brits tend to look like the Coldplay Singer normally and not so estrictely German-looking. Although I asume there are "many" that look like him also in England.

And it is obvious that comparing crowds will make easy to distinguish the populations, we all know it, but we were especifically talking about overlap of populations and %.

Charlie Hunnam looks English or British. He has very typical features of Northern English. Charlie Hunnam looks very similar facially to another actor from Northern England Ben Robson. Not sure what is so Germanic about Charlie facially that makes him not look British?

Charlie Hunnam seems more Danish to me, but there are some English who can look Danish not only because of the Viking population exchanges but also because of the Anglo-Saxons so it is not abnormal that some do.

He doesn't look Danish to me but all this stuff is really around people's own personal opinions and it is all very subjective. When you look at genetics any way all Northwest Europeans including the "Celtic" populations are very close genetically all Isles populations are closer to each other. I think people just think blond hair and then associate that with Scandinavians. Whether a Danish person looks English or an English person looks Danish will depend on someone's bias or subjective opinion. Feature wise to me I don't really see what is not British about Charlie Hunnam and more Scandinavian? I do agree some people can look very much their ethnicity but many people are also not quite so stereotypical. I also go more by features. Danes have a more robust look from what I've seen but I really don't know how someone can look more Germanic in general. It's all a bit in the eye of the beholder. The only thing I would agree on is that populations on a whole will have certain looks in a majority that makes them more distinguishable but it can get more murky with neighbouring populations.

To answer the question there will always be individual people that are more ambiguous but Spanish people and British people are easily distinguishable on the whole. It gets a bit more difficult with neighbouring populations which is quite understandable.

Most European population in a general level can be distinguishable on the whole. I would distinguish 80% french from 80% brits for example. Or Dutch and French, or German and Polish. There is a 20-30% overlap, but in general most people look from their country. And there are exceptions to the rule (like myself, that I look Scandinavian, said by scandis, but I know that I am in the minority and then the minority of this minority.

Spaniards look like (normal looking Spaniards) as non-germanic (or non-blonde) English like Jon Snow, Sean Connery and similar. I am not saying that all look like them, but that they exist many people that resemble them here and that they would pass unnoticed here, and that there are also millions that are lighter than them here. We have all varieties of all subraces, being atlanto-med the predominant, and then many "med" degrees, and then non-med looking Spaniards.

I think Sean Connery is a bad example. His pigmentation was swarthy and dark but his facial features were still very Northern European/Cromagnid.
I can't imagine him being a Spaniard. Rather dark Norwegian or something like that.

If you think that we only had 1 type of "Med" you are confused. There are many people here that also have those ""northern European/Cromagnid"" factial features and are still classified as "Med" and Spanish.

[Didac]

Brits look more like French people with elevated levels of nordic rather than Spanish people. It's the pseudo-frenchie look connection that morons confuse with Spanish.

France has nothing to do with Northern Europe. England is the same as denmark Netherlands Norway.
France is a south Central European country and similar to us spaniards and north/central Italians/Swiss and germans

[Rafael Passoni]

30% more or less. I've always tought that.
