I meant to say it's the most dominant type, more people belong to type IV than to any other, which is very strange. But then again neither you or me know how they came up with that.
Sunlight is very similar, Dublin is only slightly cloudier than Copenhagen. These skin tone differences between irish and scandinavians (supposedly huge) is not something i can see. For example Manchester United has had
some scandinavian and irish players over the years and i don't think the irish players have lighter skin. Roy Keane and John O'Shea compared to Solskjaer and Schmeichel? Same applies to Jaap Stam for example.

Go to tell that to those TA members who keeps Irish as ''super-humans'' or ''ultimately Europeans''.
I have few times showed these pictures (below). Another is Swede and another Irish. Actually Swede is one who looks more pale. That is obvious winter time (Christmas). Season influences. And nope, there is no Sun in Scandinavia by then. Especially if you go North. Irish etc. have no clue what Polar nights is (and same goes with 99% of TA's experts, incl. one from Belgium).
I agree that average levels Scandinavians might have (or carry) higher ''potential'' to tan (and less becoming red cooked crayfish which is more ugly, and which either will not look ''pale'' anymore!), but that counts only in summer (or if Scandinavians will travel to warm countries for holidays and spend 10h on beaches). Not as they live in their own countries up here. Basically you see that not here.

There is nothing strange there. France does have a Mediterranean racial component, especially the Southern French, so we should not be surprised to see type 4 being slightly more common. At the same, there is strong Celtic racial element in Brittany. This also seen in their relatively high frequency of type 1.
This is why if you look at France, the following frequency is found:
Type 4: 31.5%
Type 3: 30.9%
Type 2: 25.7%
Type 1: 13.2%
The frequency of skin type 1 is still higher than Scandinavian countries. Thus geographical location plays a role too.

Oh please calm down! Overall, Scandinavians are much more likely to tan than the Irish by a mile. This is a fact. Nobody is saying that Scandinavians are Negroes either!! Ok, get your facts straight. Irish and Scandinavians are obviously Northern European people. It is just the ancestors of the Irish have evolved to be even lighter - skinned to the point where their skin could not even tan. The main reason for this are climatic ( gloomier days per year) and also diet. As it was advantageous to be so pale.

I said ''potential''.
Opposite Irish people have greater potential to become ''reddish''. If they stay under Sun same hours as Scandinavians might do on the beaches of Ibiza, Mallorca, Rhodos, Canarian Islands .... they either will not then stay PALE! Actually burned red skin will look darker (= more easy to notice) than bit tanned skin. I know that personally (so for me anyway).

The climate which favors the development of pale skin at the maximum is not the icy polar climate of the far - north, where snow reflects sunlight in the summer. Rather it is the cloudy and temperate climate like that of the British Isles.

The climate which favors the development of pale skin the most, is not the icy polar climate where snow reflects sunlight in the summer. Rather, it is the cloudy and cool temperate climate like that of the British Islands which favors it the most. And for this same reason, the Inuit or Eskimos, people living in the far - north are relatively darker - skinned, protection in the skin against harsh sunlight is still beneficial there.
