This one looks like the incarnation of a Roman bust. Resembles Vespasian...


This one looks very un-French. He looks Lebanese or Southern Italian...

Vincent Debaty is actually Belgian.
Many of them, especially from the rosters that Whoop posted look quite British.

Je ne veux pas dire trop de merde, mais ces français du Sud-ouest ressemble plus aux autres du nord, belges et néerlandais que les soit dit ibériens.

A lot of people here see Europe as a fragmented land, where everybody would look different in each countries. But the reality is different : all countries in the central/western area of Europe (France, Switzerland, UK, Benelux,western/south Germany, North Italy...) are very similar in terms of physical features (though some local variations) and a "regular" french would not look very different from a "regular" englishman for example (excepting he is from the far south of the country). People will begin to look much more different when you go in the extremities, far south and far north of the continent . aAn andalusian or a calabrese would look different from a central european; but you could find a southern spaniard who looks british and a swede who looks spanish for example. This is the reason why physical anthropology is highly subjective and can be ridiculous sometimes.

Funny because in Andalusia there are more Central Euro like types than anywhere else in Spain.

He was born few kms far away from France-Spanish border.

Agree but each country and region have it's own look and own pigmentation, I'm sure will not confuse a Nordic from the Netherlands with an Alpine or a Subnordid from France, that's my claim,.

I'm not an expert of Spain, Andalusia was just a example of a far southern european location. Spaniards look as a whole like every other westerns europeans, I never intended to say the opposite !

The last one does not look southern Italian but rather looks more southern Iberian IMO.

Well I just wanted to point out that Andalusians don't differ from other Spaniards.

William Servat looks very Gascon/Pyrenean (that nose/chin combo). He was also born very close to the border with Spain, for anyone wondering.
