I bet you don't even know that there is a difference between the phenotypes of half Asian people where the father is Asian and those whose mother's is Asian. Apply this logic to paternal lineages in general and on a global scale and how it mixed with apparently less migration minded mt-DNA.
And yes, even where we live people have such traits. Even in Ireland.
These aren't 'Roman' traits or Spanish traits. The swarthiness comes from the east.
By those pure mediteraneans I meant like in Greece. I dunno if they are pure, but they are more ancient.
You would be surprised which traits are originally Asian, but mixed with ancient European traits, it goes alot further than epicanthic folds (which people sometimes here have to, like me...) like bone structure and hair type (very straight hair is probably asiatic)... Certain nose types...
