Why Georgians do not look Asian?

[user_]

Being 99% Asian genetically Georgians should be the most West Asian looking people, but they are not.
What's the secret?

Is this because of climate and depigmentation or West Asian component is not really Asian?
Georgians have the highest CHG in the world.

Random Georgians in the videos, would you think this people are Asians?

They look 100% "European"

Actually, there are many 'swarthy' georgians too. and most of these "white" looking georgians live close to turkish border.

georgians are white compared to armenians,azeris but if you compare them with adyghe or chechens. they are a bit darker.

Actually no, percentage of blue/green eyes is highest in Georgia among Caucasians, and reaches 50% in some villages of central west Georgia.
But ths thread is not about "who is lighter" the thread is about West Asian component, Georians have highest west Asian component and almost no euro, but still they look way more Eropean than Asian.

[Bornoz]

Because they are not Near Easterns?
Georgians look West Asian btw. West Asian definition in your mind maybe a bit different. Georgians are purest form of West Asian in the end of the day.
