[Aviane]

Southern French


Spaniards


Portuguese


Sicilians


Greeks


Cypriots


Turks


Lebanese


Saudis


Tunisians


Egyptians


Armenians


Kurds


Pakistanis


For some reason I could almost say that these groups at times look sort of similar.

No arguments please and be respectful.

Just add north/central/east europeans and you have the complete list of "caucasoids".

[memobekes]

the one binding factor that brings these different countries together is the indo-mediterranean race.

anthropologist coon even went as far as saying that "Our area, from Morocco to Afghanistan, is the homeland and cradle of the Mediterranean race."

"Mediterraneans are found also in Spain, Portugal, most of Italy, Greece and the Mediterranean islands, and in all these places, as in the Middle East, they form the major genetic element in the local populations. In a dark-skinned and finer-boned form they are also found as the major population element in Pakistan and northern India."

what the heck?

[Anthropologique]

No, they don't overlap with any of the groups mentioned, generally. Spaniards and Portuguese tend to overlap to some degree with Southern and Western French and Northern Italians. Southern Italians, including Sicilians, overlap with Greeks, Maltese and slightly with Levantines.

Obviously, Aviane, you are up to your clownish, child like actions once again. The majority of your list is absurd, and I'm certain you know that.

Certainly many of the non-Euro countries mentioned are not phenotypically similar at all to European populations listed. I mean, really, Pakistanis and Egyptians?

dude, he's talking about metrical similarities, for heaven's sake, what don't you get?

a mediterranean from spain will look different from a mediterranean from bulgaria just like a nordic will not look the same as a nordic from russia, an alpinoid from syria and an alpinoid from france are different. it's not rocket science, it's common sense.

these populations evolved and adapted to different environments and were sexually selected for their respective regions.

Bringing Coon into argument shows the level of one's "knowledge"
