Classify Spanish Footaball team from Pontevedra

[Oliver109]

Are we talking about culture or phenotypes? Idk anymore.

both but the main debate on this thread is about phenotypes, i think we can all agree that the Pontevedrans don't look like British "Celts"

[Guthrie]

I don't think most look like like Arabs, with the exception of one, can y'all tell me which ones look Arab to you?

Don't be blinded by the skin tone:

(Most likely even lighter than that)

He looks textbook Berid in the second pic, while I classified him as Atlanto-Med + Baskid based on the first one.

He doesn't look Berid at all, as he does not have the "grumpy" Sardinian look that the first one has for example, he looks very similar to Atlanto-Med + Paleo Atlantid.

The Mediterranean race was said to stretch from Iberia and Morocco to India, as Coon said:
"This third racial zone stretches from Spain across the Straits of Gibraltar to Morocco, and thence along the southern Mediterranean shores into Arabia, East Africa, Mesopotamia, and the Persian highlands; and across Afghanistan into India. This zone is one of comparative racial simplicity. In it the brunet Mediterranean race lives today in its various regional forms without, in most cases, the complication of the Palaeolithic survivals and reëmergences which have so confused the racial picture on the ground of Europe itself. Only in the mountains of Morocco and Algeria, and in the Canary Islands, is such a survival of any importance. The Careful study of living populations of the Mediterranean race in its early homelands will do much to simplify the task which lies ahead."

Coon also said that Nordid is Mediterranean with light hair.

Which it obviously is

My goodness, I only published photos of some soccer players from Pontevedra, and they have already come to know if they are typical or atypical, if half of the players are gypsy-Latinos, if Anthropology is science or pseudoscience, genetics of the people of Tajikistan, etc. ..

Wasn't this the reaction you were looking for? Seems that way.

But on the other hand, i recently posted a team and one of these shitheads somehow felt offended and said i was only posting because they were "much lighter".

So on one hand you will atract OWD posters if the team is swarthy, but on another hand you will offend certain characters that dwell on this forum if the team is not swarthy enough for their liking.

Even the Roman's referred to Iberians swarthy.

I once looked for this quote and found a description of the Silures from south Wales, in which the romans thought they were swarthy compared to other british and speculated that they probably came from Spain, which was on the opposite shore (his geography was a bit off):

According to Tacitus's biography of Agricola, the Silures usually had a dark complexion and curly hair. Due to their appearance, Tacitus believed they had crossed over from Spain at an earlier date.

The dark complexion of the Silures, their usually curly hair, and the fact that Spain is the opposite shore to them, are an evidence that Iberians of a former date crossed over and occupied these parts.[3]

Jordanes, in his Origins and Deeds of the Goths, describes the Silures.

The Silures have swarthy features and are usually born with curly black hair, but the inhabitants of Caledonia have reddish hair and large loose-jointed bodies. They are like the Gauls or the Spaniards.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silures

So apparently they also thought the Gauls were swarthy and were also used to describe how swarthy the welsh were. I never found a direct quote of romans saying iberians were swarthy besides this one.

I would find it a bit bizarre that romans would think iberians were swarthy out of the blue. But it seems there was this context.

What does Coon say about the facial characteristics of Arabs and then tell me what he said about Iberians?

Go fetch.

[~Elizabeth~]

I've never read Coon.

Lol.

Oliver will always attach himself to pseudo-science. People in 2005 were talking about Coon. Once population genetics got rolling around 2010 (when it hit a stride) people grew up. Oliver is a man-child and so it can't be expected.
