If you HAD to pick, do Iberians look closer to British/Irish or to Greeks?

Nope, i don't think we're eastern mediterranean. But Brits are not mainly atlantid... and even those who are still don't look like us, like Andrea Corr for example:



Anyway, i've always said we have our own look. I don't know how we may be more close to A or B if we are K.

But British are mainly Atlantid/Nordid and the Greek Pontid/East Med, right? if we the Spanish are Atlantid/West Med, why you vote Greeks? (of course there are other more or less minority classifications presents in each country)

I know that the British and Spanish are not particularly similar, but anthropologically speaking, and genetically, the Greek option is more distant, are you not agree?

I honestly think that some Iberian do not want to be perceived as a "wannabe British / Nordid" and they are willing to vote something really do not think is true.

So what you mean to say is Iberians have similar features/facial structures/proportions to Brits but are close in coloring to Greeks.

Yes, kind of. Although I personally perceive the average Greek as a bit more pigmented.

I don't know if it's right to follow anthropological terms rigidly to define a country. If you take a crowd of brits and a crowd of greeks, do you think a crowd of iberians will look more similar to a crowd ot brits?

I'm just giving my opinion. Like i said in another post, individual overlaps with Britain exist and i could show you examples of that. But as a whole, the British Isles are northern european and we are southern european.. as are greeks, who to my knowledge don't look as different as you may think.

British/ Irish no doubt, I see more relations with them out of the both. But yeah some Spaniards and Greeks might look alike, but not in all cases.

Yes, I think. And genetically also reflected the same result.

Then you think that is Iberia is mainly Mediterranean (East+West not a big difference), than Atlantid.

Remember that two people that look nothing alike will cluster together on genetic plots if they are from the same region/country. So, looks is a different matter from genetics.

It's probably a split in half, or if one is bigger than the other it's not by much.

I voted Greek. The Brits stand out like a sore thumb in Portugal (just go to the Algarve in the summer) whereas many people wouldn't bat an eye if they saw a Greek in Portugal.

[Comte Arnau]

The Brits always stand out because they want to look Brits wherever they go.

Look Alex ----> http://www.theapricity.com/forum/showthread.php?t=39040 or this thread is a lie or these women seem more British than Greek?

[Alvarado]

Genetic studies can be a double-edged sword, someone could argue that Iberians are the "Africans of Europe".
