    Default Genetically similar groups that look very different?

    Who would you say?

    I have heard Albanian and Greek cited as examples, but I'd more likely pose British and German.

    British and Germans look similar so do Albanians and Greeks.

    There are some Germans who cannot pass in the UK. Angela Merkel is an example of a German who looks very, very German and not like a Brit.

    Maybe to someone who studies ethnicities but for the average joe Angela Merkel wouldnt stand out in the UK. I doubt she would be looked at in the street

    Albanians look nothing like Greeks. Although the women look very generic Balkanic/South European, so they can pass more easily. But the men look nothing alike.

    Greeks can recognize an Albanian miles away because of his head shape.

    Example: this head shape is nonexistent among Greeks.

    Spaniards and ethnic French people (granted, France actually does have a lot of Med types, but they tend to look more Italian than Spanish).

    Not sure I agree. Northern Italians, if anything, look more French.

    So why don't you agree? Common French Med types include Alpine-Meds and Dinaro-Meds, who are more common in Italy than Spain, as opposed to Iberian Gracile Meds and Berids which are not common in France at all. In addition, France has a lot of Germanic types that are far less prevalent in Spain.
